At the off-line in London two weeks ago I dragged a bottle along. As it happens it was a bottle that my Mother won in a raffle along with some undrinkable whisky and a flagon of minging cider.

General consensus was that it was weak, watery and unpleasant; but better than Cockburn's Ruby. This is a shame as guess what your next level is. As people have reached certain levels already it goes like this:
  • 0 - Cruz Ruby
    10 - Cheap Ruby
    25 - Cockburn's Ruby
    50 - Fonseca Bin 27
    75 - Warre's Warrior
    100 - Fonseca LBV
    150 - Taylor's LBV
    200 - Quinta do Noval LBV
    250 - Niepoort LBV
    300 - Warre's Traditional LBV
    400 - Graham's The Tawny
    500 - Warre's Otima 10 year old Tawny
    600 - Warre's Otima 11 Year Old Tawny
You may notice a slight descrepency at the end where a bit of rogue adminsitration generated an illegal port level. The perpetrator has since disappeared without trace. Let that be a warning to you all. :twisted:

I’m flattered to be blamed.

I also had no idea, considered asking, and then thought better of it. But I’m flattered to be blamed.

OK, ruined now. What you should have been looking at, considering the thread that we are in, was the post count and the level.

Gone now.

That would be very tedious.

That would be very tedious. Have something to say before saying it. This isn’t MD, you know.

Jules,

If I want to take 3 Posts to write, 'it wont last' and say on the last one 'See, it didn't, I'm now M85' that's my prerogative.
The fact that you find it tedious, boring, weak, or whatever other words you have used previously, is your issue.
It's only when everyone agrees with you, that it will stop. (it was a technical mistake when Axel thanked you for running 'your' Forum)

Now you know how often everyone agrees with you?

So take a chill pill, as I did before constructing this Post. :)

Alan.

Conky, you forget that I’m not allowed to use emoticons. You have to guess when to pretend they’re there. ;-)

I never said you couldn't. Just advised you shouldn't. I should have used one to get my point across better :wink:
