ThePortForum now on TapaTalk

After a request from ewust and a realisation that I hadn't completed the install of this earlier in the year, I can now confirm that TPF is up and running on TapaTalk and you can get to it using their interface on your various mobile devices..

Have fun :D

Re: Portforum on iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Nokia

Your wish is my command.

Actually thought that I'd set this up earlier in the year but hadn't completed, so my apologies. Up and running and tested so give it a go.

Re: Raise a glass for SushiNorth's wedding

I will set an alarm so that I remember to raise a glass. Otherwise I will remember at about 11:39 Thursday morning and feel guilty.

Re: Proof Leewards might be obtained @ 2/9

Leeward rum must come from the Leeward Islands and not from the Hawaiian Leewards. Rum is a Caribbean drink and its manufacture is widespread throughout the islands associated with British colonisation.

Posting links for Reviews

If you have created a set of Tasting Notes and would like the links for them, nice and quickly, then tell me about them. I will generate the links in a matter of minutes and send them to you or add them into the review - it saves a lot of hassle.

Re: Bottle shock / sickness
