Your completely correct but I have now resolved this issue .... mind you there stock has gone down as a result !

Some bargains in the Hedonism sale - Vesuvio Capela 2016 at £75 and Graham Stone Terraces 2015 at £100. Couldn’t resist one of each of those. Plus a whole bunch of young Tappit Hens which are not compatible with my other obligations at the moment. How do you deal with shipment here ? Do they just s...

oddly I went into Waitrose in Lewis just next to Brighton and they had this there but it was £42 a bottle ....

Hello Everybody, I've gone over all the postings here and compiled together all the requests for food and put them into a word doc and a pdf that's accessible from the first post. Can you have a look and make sure your desired choice of food is correct in the pdf and if it's wrong please let me know...

Sounds yummy but then '63 is a great year ....

I have adjusted the attendee list ...... I appreciate the date is not the best

well, I don't possess the imagination you all appear to have with regard to descriptions and despite sitting next to George last time who made great effort to convince me that I was able to wax lyrical about a port in dramatic Oscar Wilde kind of style - I decantered at 8:17 this morning and of cour...

smells gorgeous .... opened 8pm ish

Gent's we have a date .... Thursday 15th February .... (sory if this does not work for people as it clashes with half term)

Cheers

Martin

Pate, Sirloin (medium) with peppercorn sauce, skinny fries, green beans

Thank you

Fair question. Please reply. I was hoping Paul as the vendor would reply but since not ... he as I requested provided a price for the entire set and as I said in my message, I'm not into haggling, his prices was somewhere between what it all was buyable for on the Internet and 15% more so I politel...
