Welcome Ghandih
Our latest addition is Ghandih, who I understand to be a friend of jdaw's. Good to have you here and hope you enjoy the conflab that goes on.

Port is basically a red drink
Hellooo
Yes, indeed. Hello all. I've gone straight in and posted a comment about a forthcoming tasting, so more details about me there. I'd do a fancy link to it but that's altogether outside my capabilities. I may ramble on about myself here some other time, but I'd better get working.
For now, a simple tip on how to spell Ghandih. There's a big 'G' at the start, and then 'a', 'n', 'd' and 'i' in that order. However, aitches are wild, so put 'em in wherever you like. Mr Chuckles did, which is why it's allowed - who are we to question the Great Man.

TPF hall of Shame with first post
English professor? Oh no, Simon has made The TPF hall of Shame with his very first post: a record.
Knowledge
OK, let me expain.
Simon: many of my chums think that I am vastly knowledgeable and experienced in matters of vintage port. They are so wrong: I am not qualified to tie the shoelaces of many of those on TPF: their knowledge of terroir, grapes, prices, the industry and, most of all, the port, dwarfs mine—though they would be too modest to admit it.
Others: many of those on TPF think that I am an expert pedant in matters of grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation. How wrong they are: if only they had met Doccy T, whose knowledge of all these dwarfs mine—and he would surely agree.

Is that an attempt to come across as Human!
Next thing is you'll be sat on my patio, in the early hours, laughing at how much rubbish we've just spouted, whilst keeping a slightly sozzled eye on the remains of the bottle you particularly liked.
Your Application to join the Human Race will be considered in due course...

Saving the planet
I am asked what exactly I'm saving the planet from.
I could go on at great length, but won't. The long and the short of it is that we're consuming resources quite a bit faster than they are being replenished, which means we're going to run out unless something changes. Generating less waste is a very good place to start, and that's my salvation point of attack.

With you a 100% on that last point. Do you think thats why they call them Flood Plains?
I know its a little unsympathetic, but it was doing my head in watching the Sky Reporter, at scene, stood in 4 inches of water, reporting live as though it was similar to the Ethiopian Famines! While in the background, a couple of kids try to catch sticklebacks with a net and a jar.
