Was it a BW's 50?
The BW's 50 is to this what Fonseca 1970 is to Royal Oporto Ruby.djewesbury wrote:Was it a BW's 50?

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

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.Glenn E. wrote:Conveniently I just logged on and have actually looked at Yamahas as potential purchases.

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

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.djewesbury wrote:You are nearly there so stay with us. You just need to be more specific.

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?DRT wrote:We've all been there. Soldier on. Everything will be fine.LGTrotter wrote:I promised my family at an 'intervention' that I would go cold turkey on this thread
This is in no way a criticism of this thread, merely a comment on the 'psychology of the individual' as Jeeves would say.

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)

1980, yes. I was simply making a complete guess rather than leaving off the already known elements. Besides, Dow was unclear:djewesbury wrote:Pay attention; we already have the VP - yes, 1980, a Dow. But not a Vinicole glass.
