Look Back in Anger (at IVDP glasses and square stems)

Post by DRT »

Split by jdaw1 from immediately after the first post of IVDP glasses and square stems.

I think you are somewhat missing the point, Daniel. These glasses should be banned as they are a risk to public health. How on earth is someone with OCD supposed to cope under the stress caused by these stems? Those poor souls will be drinking from the sticky side all night with no clue how to resolve the problem. You've got to feel sorry for them that life plays these horrible tricks.

I had not factored this in. You are right, of course, again.

You two win the top wonk competition hands down. A conversation on how to hold a port glass was one I had not considered possible.

Having accused you of being wonks I must confess to liking the knop on my otherwise unsuitable glass so much that I continue to use it.

Any chance of a picture of your IVDP's in action as one faintly autistic wonk to another? I've never seen one.

I am not posting pictures of me drinking. What about my reputation?

You could pixelate yourself out. Go on, let me look at one in action.

Is that headline a commentary on your life?

It doesn't look like the notches are too pronounced. I thought it looks quite a reasonable sized glass. Good thumb work.

I may have to revisit 'Look back in anger'.

It could be. It keeps me honest anyway.

And briefly the Man from Del Monte. The one on YouTube where the oranges all jump off the trees? That's him.

Should I strip it back to just your first post and we can all try again?

Quit yer moaning, the fact that Daniel has a direct if tenuous link with Blackadder is far more thrilling than how he holds his port glass. Visitors will pour in!
