Julian's side hobby: making practical and stylish side tables from wooden port boxes (perfect to hold yours and your port chum's port glass).

SCP-DFF

Holy crap. We're so connected. We're vibing.

This morning, I was just grabbing one of my last bottles, and thought, "Uh oh. Must enquire with Alex about acquiring more of these!"

Yes please, can I have some more? Two dozen would be wonderful, please.

Thank you!

SCP-DFF

Fair question. Nothing as far as I can see, other than the fact that consumers are used to pledging to buy things which don’t yet exist on Crowdfunding. You also get a very clear idea of how many copies you’ve sold before you go to print (as you do with the pre-order system you ran before). Perhaps...

Permission granted. And I understand that, since it isn't my husband asking, it isn't my husband's fault.

Are you kidding me? How long have we been married to each other?

SCP-DFF

I have so much sympathy for you guys. Definintely you should have this random evening of port-tasting. Definitely. And Julian should definitely go. You poor lads. Don't continue to feel unsettled. That's not a pleasant thing. So, go taste, take notes, and be more settled. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy!

I've just listened to the esteemed author on The UK Wine Show ThirtyFifty podcast where he talks about vintage port. Very entertaining and well worth a listen. There's also a follow up podcast which I haven't listened to yet, where he talks about The Book. Both very good, very well worth a listen. ...

Now you'll be three. I don't think you need placemats. Have fun!

SCP-DFF

Just to clarify, is this a different wife's brother to the one we shared eight bottles with in Paris? {He drinking one glass and us drinking eight bottles minus one glass} That was a boyfriend of a friend of the wife. But he might have had a married sister, in which case, yes indeed, a different wi...

SCP-DFF

Um. Excuse me. The boxes just kept pouring in. No pun intended.

My thoughts were, "So that's what you've been hiding from me!"

SCP-DFF

Since Julian usually spills his plans to me to attend a port tasting only a couple days prior to an event, I'm being proactive and doing some organisation. Can I confirm that Julian is attending? Or not?

Thank you,
MaryAnne AKA SCP-DFF

SCP-DFF

This is some serious sport. Very nice, guys. Last night when I heard Julian come home I assumed that he'd be totally sloshed. I heard him go up to his office, then a big bang on the floor. If that big noise was his big body collapsing, something made me think that he was just fine and that if he pas...

SCP-DFF

Ok, I just wanna know what the emergency is, and who declared it? It's interesting how sudden this 'emergency' came on. Something doesn't smell fresh in these Wiseman woods. Oh, and just because it's a small bunch of you, doesn't mean that you can pretend that more will attend to justify 'extra' bot...

SCP-DFF

Most of you, if not all, will be very thrilled to hear that Julian is able to attend Monday's port tastings. (We weren't able to remember why his 'permission' was about to be rescinded.)

Have fun!

SCP-DFF

I'm in.

SCP-DFF

Cotton candy nose. Caramel taste, with a hint of cherry. Very pleasing. My husband is a tease because my glass is suddenly empty and there's no more. Please sir, may I have some more?

No! Julian said he's only having a little taste!

Thank you for stepping up, Derek! In all honestly though, I have to admit that I was calling JDAW's bluff. I just don't believe he'll stay for a short while. He loves you guys too much!

SCP-DFF

I have a request. A certain someone has decided to show up tonight for a 'taste', and then he says he's leaving after 20 minutes. He just wants a taste. :roll: My request is, could you all set a timer for 20 minutes the moment he steps foot in the door please? I don't believe he's only staying for 2...

Is this Julian being Julian? Yes. And he is now being even more Julian by not giving into the fact that it was a bad idea and he should submit to your preference rather than tinkering around with the problem. I enjoy reading Julian's direct style of writing on his website, here on :TPF:, in emails ...

SCP-DFF

Your first two paragraphs are great, as they actually provide informative explanation, and highlight that having such treatment may help prevent further gain or aid loss, which will be received very positively. I think however that you ruin it at the end with your last comment; almost everyone who ...

SCP-DFF

I'd go. Really? When Julian proposed this, I was shocked. I mean, "Fat Middle-Aged Men"? To me, that's offensive and a bit repulsive. Julian says no. Julian says it's a tractor beam pulling in FMAM. So I need reassurance that he's right. Is this Julian being Julian? Or is this Julian just...

This is a hilarious thread. Definitely a good side-tracking from my boring studying (yes husband, I am studying and not lurking on this forum).

Has someone guessed Alan Johnson yet?

SCP-DFF

Julian had a great time at the Celine Dion concert! He said he loved watching me sing her songs!

Well done.

Autobiography: Alexander McQueen?

No to all concert guesses so far. Clue: One of her biggest hits was for a movie.

Nope. Not Kiss.

Maya Angelou.

Oh Yay! Good idea, Daniel. I like this format.

Not Madonna.

Barak Obama?

OK. So I'm Quiz Mistress now.

To what concert did I drag Julian in NY at Madison Square Garden, in about 2008?

This was Julian's 'garnish' for lunch today, made by his beloved wife. Poor man was "starving"!

Sorry, just realised it'll be next week when you're in Paris. Could you possibly leave it at the hotel? I can pick up when I get to Paris? Or, you can drop it off at my sister's who lives in the 1er arrondissement, dead center Paris.

I will be in Paris from 28th - 31st May. Can pick up then.

You guys must know something about Daniel that I clearly don't. A firearm? That sounds a bit random.

I guess a piano.

ok. good. i'm happy i didn't offend you.

is it a new car?

I have never met you, so please don't take this the wrong way: you bought a bicycle so you can start your exercise regime after the festivities are over in January.
