The food order seems to be complete. Please could somebody check it?

Checked:
- Derek has asked for skinny (french) fries, but is listed as hand-cut chips
- Ian has asked for a side of peas & beans, which is missing
- Tom's and Christopher's are unchecked as they are not in-thread, I assume received directly
- I assume you have checked your own, similarly
- Mike does not appear in the menu order, but had specified an order (being shrimps, sirloin(rare) and side of peas & beans); I note that he is listed in attendance as "maybe" so unsure of status.
- Also, I would suggest that the formatting of "Chargrilled sirloin steak (black & blue) with skinny fries and grilled tomato" would be clearer than the current "Chargrilled sirloin steak with skinny fries and grilled tomato (black & blue)"

Shoddy workmanship, and fixed. Thank you for checking.

Confirmed.

- Mike does not appear in the menu order, but had specified an order (being shrimps, sirloin(rare) and side of peas & beans); I note that he is listed in attendance as "maybe" so unsure of status.

Status:

Sadly it looks like I can no longer make this. Something might shift and make it possible again nearer the time, but right now it is not possible.

- Also, I would suggest that the formatting of "Chargrilled sirloin steak (black & blue) with skinny fries and grilled tomato" would be clearer than the current "Chargrilled sirloin steak with skinny fries and grilled tomato (black & blue)"

Fixed. Thank you again. And the food order updated.

Count me out. My son is having an op on Weds morning so I need to get home that night.

Good luck with the op.

And the food order updated.

Noting Ian is shown as requiring "skinny fries" in addition to his "gammon, chips and ..."; this may require adjustment.

Adjusted. Again, my

Shoddy workmanship

And again, thanks.

Daniel's bottle and my bottle are now standing in the cellar of the B&F. Please can someone take charge of decanting on the day?

Graham 1955 and Dow 1955: if I were to arrive at 4pm and decant then, would that be sufficiently early?

I would think so. They will probably not need a long decant and if they do they can sit in the glass for a while.

I told Derek last night that I would decant these. Why does he keep ignoring me?

Works for me. Daniel to decant.

Stop blubbing. Turn up at 15:59 and the job is yours.

Would it KILL you to be NICE to me???

NICE? NICE? What about those Jimmy Choo's you're wearing?

[jdaw1]

Being nice to you is one of the things least likely to kill Derek.

Harsh.

take it gracefully; for me the Grahams 55 is the classiest pop and pour you can do (even done once after after a Dow 27 in an emergency). It does not matter anyway since all Grahams 55 I had so far was on that great tasting plateau it does not care anymore; it is just great with long decant or without!
And I know you live forever anyway like Dorian Gray with the picture as long as you get every year that bt of 65 SQVP.

Very true. G55 is a luxurious and resilient drop of wine. The line-up for this evening is actually very, very good. I'm rather looking forward to it.

All very much agreed. (And my last drink was two pints of beer on Sunday 16^th August: I am thirsty.)

Thanks for the pre-order, I notice that 5 of your group has asked for skinny fries instead of hand cut chips. Unfortunately we don’t offer skinny fries here, we only Have hand cut chips on the menu. I hope this will be ok.

Other than that, everything else is finem, and we look forward to welcoming you on the 9^th.

OK for me

hand cut chips it is then!

[Alex Bridgeman]

You can always ask them to hand cut your chips to a very thin size. After all, they are hand cut so presumably can be hand cut to order.

I have your two bottles (doff hat, thank you kind sir) of the Graham 1952 tawny. I plan bring them refrigerated, not to decant, and serve direct from the bottle. If this is less than perfect, please tell me what should be done.

For the Dalva Golden White 1952, does anybody have a better suggestion than refrigerating, not decanting, and serving direct from the bottle?
