Thu 15 Feb 2018: Mr. Wolfgang Starz

[jdaw1]

Please see below the pricing for the steaks ordered, just let me know if all OK:

Chateaubriand 1kg (to share) = £120
Chateaubriand 500g = £60
Centre Cut Fillet Steaks = £34
400g Beef rib-eye = £34
T-bone steak =£34
Rump steak = £28

[DRT]

Mine not on the list

If not available please substitute with "400g Beef rib-eye"

I'd assumed the 500g chateaubriand to share (as linked, didn't know they did a 1kg version!), but if the 1kg version has been ordered then I'm sure we'll somehow cope as a group with extra steak!

Am happy to drop the rump and come in on the chateaubriand 1kg-provided it's no rarer than rare.

Those expressing enthusiasm for a £120 steak: how many ways are you wanting to split it?

happy with 2, 3, or 4 as best fits group with what we've ordered. Ideal would perhaps be 3 imo.

[DaveRL]

The placemats look very good indeed, and an excellent line up. Combined with the feast of steak, really looking forward to this one.

[jdaw1]

Food order updated. Failing cogent objection by 6pm Sunday 11^th, it will be sent to the B&F.

I am happy to make do with a 400g Rib-eye @ £34. Medium rare please.

[jdaw1]

Please don’t forget to reload the food order, to ensure that you’re seeing the latest.

Derek: I think that your order was correct. Please confirm that the error is of cacheing rather than of mine.

The food order contains the Carnivore's Rib Steak as I originally requested, but the price list from B&F does not. Given the ridiculous price of some of the other larger steaks I a happy to change to the 400g Rib eye @ £34.

Thanks

[jdaw1]

Does not.

+1, and thank you for all the arrangement effort.

I missed the deadline, but I am happy. Thank you.

[jdaw1]

One extra change, being mine — I decided that Derek was correct.

Sent. Too late for changes. Just no.

[jdaw1]

Who can print the placemats? Unusually, in colour.

(But not today: there might be information about one more bottle.)

[DRT]

I note that currency symbols (£,€ and $) are being used for the spare spaces on the placement. Given the occasion, and putting aside any pedantic objections, perhaps "DM" could replace "$"?

[WS1]

Hi,

apologies for the delay. Can now confirm and thanks to the Mayor of Islington I am a British citizen! Bt missing will be a F66 that used to belong the Lord of Northampton. He got himself a pipe bottled of F66 and his son sold the remainder of the bts off. So me humble subject got some bts. If I were the son the remainder of the bts would have not been sold off but rather drunk by friends and family.

I find it has class to buy and bottle a pipe of F66. I wish somebody had bought and bottled a pipe of F70 for me!

regards

WS1

[DRT]

Congratulations, Mr Starz

[jdaw1]

We must admire the precociousness. I had been a British citizen for most of two decades before I regretted that nobody had bought a pipe of F70 for me. Wolfgang has done it in only a few hours.

[jdaw1]

On the placemats, +F66.
• Please would somebody check them?
• Please would an early-arriving somebody volunteer to print them?

By the way, not a totally bad start to a new nationality: F60, F63, F66, T66, TV69, Cr70, N70, G70, W70, and Ni70 (Dumpy).

[Doggett]

I am very sorry for the late notice, but I am afraid that people’s plans have changed and I would not be able to get to the tasting until late if I came so it is best if I withdraw. I wish you a fine tasting and shall raise a toast to you Wolfgang. Apologies again.

[idj123]

… the placemats…

I assume that with Simon's unfortunate absence they will be re-drafted but whether it's down to cacheing, I can only view half of the glasses placemats?
Otherwise, I could print but I will not be there until just before 6.30pm and so maybe not ideal.

Congratulations Wolfgang btw!

[Alex Bridgeman]

I can’t volunteer to print, unfortunately.

I am a little less well organised for tomorrow night than usual. Is anyone expecting anything from me over and above the F63 I am bringing?

No, other than the Croft 1945 you mentioned to me yesterday.

He told me he was bringing a 1931 Noval Nacional.

I was quite lucky last week and managed to buy a dozen of each from a Chinese-American who was running a stall in the market in Dubai. He had loads left, if anyone wants some.

[idj123]

Believe I have successfully printed out the current version of the placemats (in colour) and so providing I don't leave them in the office (like last time) will bring them with me later. Will try to get there as early as I can.

[idj123]

And have just seen your PM on the same subject Julian...

[PhilW]

If someone had a micro-USB charger handy and were able to bring it along to the B&F tonight, that would be helpful and appreciated.
