The BW's 50 is to this what Fonseca 1970 is to Royal Oporto Ruby.

Glenn, guess any combination of letters and numbers and put a question mark after it.

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 17:09 Mon 04 Nov 2013

Conveniently I just logged on and have actually looked at Yamahas as potential purchases.

However I think you've already guessed at my end of the range. And I didn't take the time to thoroughly read the last 4 pages of guesses. So I'll just guess the bike I was looking into before I came to my senses.

FJR1300?

Glenn, we're looking for bottom-of-the-range, step-through mopeds from the 1970s. In blue. So go crazy. He's already discounted all the really terrible ones. So it must be even worse.

Another two-part question.
On Thursday night, in my house, something broke. What was it, and what was I about to put in it?
Family-friendly, remember..

Your garbage disposal, and you were about to get rid of the sediment in the bottom of a Port bottle?

No problem. You got a free guess that nobody else saw.. No, not the garbage disposal, not port sediment.

No. Don't ever let Derek hear you use the words 'leftover pork pie ingredients' in the same sentence as 'bin'.

Please, people, there is no problem with the pork pies. Stop trying to panic everyone.

Well, that would explain why you were putting leftover pork pie ingredients in the bin.

I promised my family at an 'intervention' that I would go cold turkey on this thread but surely one more go couldn't do any harm?

The glass you were about to put your port in?

You are nearly there so stay with us. You just need to be more specific. What glass (kind) and what port (vintage)? Should be easy.

A Riedel Vinum Port glass broke. You were about to use it to drink a 1983... GC?

The glass is not quite as good; the port is better. Now did I write a TN last week...?

The intervention was not actually from my family but from myself. I needed to walk away from time to time, wash; speak to others and the like. I can't actually guess at present but you have my sympathy about broken glasses. I broke an old favourite of mine a couple of weeks back and I miss it terribly. Riedel glasses on the other hand I break by coughing loudly near them and care not a jot for.

OK I see I can guess again; Just the glass for starters a spiegelau?

Twas nairy a Spiegelau. Good to have you back with us.

Just checked the tasting notes; only the glass to get. (Now would it be a sraight glass or have a handle...)

I was all cross eyed and confused at work today though. And as I drove home I was thinking 'Derek must have had a fizzy' (Yamaha FS1E to the uninitiated). I know in the event I was wrong but it's a bit odd to be excited about identifying a moped belonging to someone most of thirty years ago who I have never met on a forum for the discussion of port. Isn't it?

This is in no way a criticism of this thread, merely a comment on the 'psychology of the individual' as Jeeves would say.

A Sandeman branded square stemmed tasting glass bought from the Sandeman Lodge in VNdG

The diameter of the foot of this glass is 72mm.

I actually wondered momentarily where the tape measure was, but no I will not be drawn into your madness.

A Dartington port glass. (I know it's too big and probably too upmarket but at least others get to guess and it's one of my favourites for slurping cooking port)

Pay attention; we already have the VP - yes, 1980, a Dow. But not a Vinicole glass.

1980, yes. I was simply making a complete guess rather than leaving off the already known elements. Besides, Dow was unclear:

I think we would all have to send you a white feather but then you would turn up in the final scene, disguised as a waiter at 'the bung hole' and revive everybody with an unknown imperial of 63 Fonseca...

Sorry, just another flight of fancy. (I was torn between this and the hollow square of

And I have run out of meaningful guesses, being unimaginative.

A paris goblet?
