The statement begs a question. Pray tell — if only for the placemats.

Going directly to your comments, we will not make any observations concerning points 3 and 4 of your letter . Chicken! I remind readers of my “points 3 and 4†: 3. It doesn’t matter if I am wrong. Lets say that the IVDP’s lawyers discover that, though port isn’t 75/106/EEC 1.(d) in English, perhaps...

What is proposed is that I will buy a bit of dead cow from Costco and burn that Please, minimal burning for me. Briefly show it a picture of an unlit match.

My two-thousandth post, taking me to the lofty realm of Taylor Quinta de Vargellas 1987.

Thank you very for your letter of 24th February 2008. First of all allow we will send your letter to the Port Wine Shippers Association. Great. In second place the IVDP regulation n.° 23/2006 is in our website. The search function on ivdp.pt doesn’t find it. Please, would somebody concurring wit...

He had a large pond in the back, fixed up nicely: Picnic tables,horseshoe courts, a volleyball court, and some orange and grapefruit trees. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming. One evening the old farmer decided ...

Please could I be told, definitively, which bottles my father needs to put aside?

Hello and welcome to TPF. Good question about pronunciation, which I second.

And please do tell us something of your experience of port: favourite, oldest, best, something.

That’s not old.

I was lectured by Hawking. Or rather, I went to lectures read by his wheelchair. Clever chappie. (You have to be really clever to have a type of radiation named after you. Black holes leak, eh. Who’d have known?)

How long have you two been married? Stay on subject.

No financial rebalancing required on my behalf for 1980s.

Conception was it being discussed, the domain being purchased by somebody, and the like. Surely by the time a post was made it had been born.

(But Conky, next you accuse someone else of attempting to be pedantic, think of glass houses.)

More tidying and pruning of books. Going to the great white library in the sky is The Successful Investor , 1986, by Robin Duthy. It contains a chapter on wine, and a sub-section on port. The port index is made up of the 1945, 1955, 1960, 1963 and 1970 wines shipped by the ten leading firms in Oport...

And to allow the tasting to be blind.
