Is anybody going to tell the new boy that one of our regulars but not attending this tasting is ex-Luftwaffe? No, let’s keep it quiet, this is all too funny.

I'll say; the allusion only came to mind because I was drinking with the son of a member of 617 tonight..jdaw1 wrote:Is anybody going to tell the new boy that one of our regulars but not attending this tasting is ex-Luftwaffe? No, let’s keep it quiet, this is all too funny.

Dress code for the tasting is: hand goggles, flight jacket, white scarf, baggy trousers, wooden leg and a dog with a non-PC name.

6 to 6:30ish, but for an informal tasting there is more flexibility.

Unfortunately I have not been able to get the pink ticket to attend, sorry about that, will pay my share as late cancellation.
Sorry about that and hope you have a great night!

Yes that's quite enough of that. I think recent documentary evidence uncovered in the archives of the Imperial War Museum has shown that the dog was in fact called Spot...

T85 decanted 15.35 - came surprisingly clean considering it wasn't stood up at all..

I'm going to come via the Strand since I see nobody here has mentioned this place, and it seems to be newish and to be opened by a concern in Dublin.. Could be interesting perhaps..
