"Poor nose and very pleasant" does not seem to make too much sense.

Could the first word perhaps be good?

JWEW

My food order :-

Starter - Potted shrimps
Main - Chargrilled steak - medium/rare

Thanks

JWEW

Presumably the eighth item is a decanter?

JWEW

Found this, it's in Portuguese so will need to be translated.

Would like to attend if possible. I have '94 and '98 handy.

The BBR port walk will be held on two dates again this year, Thursday 26th and Friday 27th November 2015.

I shan't be there, won't be able to get back from Antarctica in time.

JWEW

My food order:-

starter: Chicken liver pâté with toast

main: Gammon, egg and chips with black pudding

Thank you

Only guessing based on the context of tasting a wood aged port

JWEW

I would like to attend if there's space.

I would need to adopt a bottle as have no suitable Fonseca.

JWEW

Thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I spent the majority of the evening totally flummoxed by the ports.

I have come to the conclusion (again) that I need to drink more. All in the name of research of course.

JWEW

I hope to arrive, with bottle, at the B&F shortly after 18:00hrs

JWEW

Hmmm, I seem to have lost my post. Apologies if this duplicates.

My food order:
Potted shrimps
Sirloin steak - rare, creamed spinach
Dessert to be decided on the night.

I can confirm that March 2nd is still OK for me.

Oh dear, I'll retire and attempt to think of a suitable question. If anyone else can think of one then please feel free to usurp me.

JWEW

My theory was the start and end of the 1st French Republic but can't see the link of drinking port to commemorate the end. Probably not my go either.

djewesbury wrote: I don't remember being so specific about the years.
Remember that something needs to link the two dates.

Doh, no century was specified for the '48 and '49.

presumably 1848/49 are the relevant dates?

JWEW

Are we looking for an event that occurred in both 1948 and 1949?

Ireland won the 5-nations rugby.

JWEW

Think I can guess the French connection (Louis XVI) but it's not my go, so I won't.

JWEW

Is the drinking of Champagne corresponding to an anniversary of an event that took place in France?
Similarly, is the port drinking for an event in Portugal?

Measurements (appx) of the internal, cylindrical part of the bottle: standard: 65 x 195 mm half: 55 x 145 mm internal area of standard bottle = 46456 mm 2 internal area of half bottle = 17279 mm 2 is that right? now what? Don't think that's correct. For a radius of 65mm and height 195mm I get area=...

JWEW

If we can approximate the surface area of the liquid to that of a cylinder (which we can only do if the bottle is stored upright) then the surface area calculation is:- Area=2πrh+2π r^2 Where r is the radius (to internal wall) of the cylinder and h is the height (of the liquid). Yes, go on… Do you ...

I assume this is a clue, as is the usage of the word brand in several of the other replies.

Or am I now so confused that I'm seeing hints everywhere?

Browny rather than tawny? Maybe a Colheita.

1966 Fonseca anyone? The original line up, rather than the one shown, seems to match the event title. So do we have an incorrect line up or an incorrect title? What are you showing us? I've checked the BBR website and there's still no sign of any F66. But if it's there, I'll be even happier. The li...

Could I also book a place please, also depending on the date.

That rules out cognitive displaysia.

Does it begin with a letter in the first half of the alphabet? The thing is most commonly described using a two-word name. Both words begin with a letter in the first half of the alphabet.

As for the musings, I'd rule out temperature as the sample values eliminates Fahrenheit and Celsius. A value of 00 would seem to eliminate other weather measuarables. Sunset and sunrise times have been eliminated. That leaves the shipping forecast. As I'm not a mariner I can't think of a related gue...

It's a malachite kingfisher, but as all I wanted to hear was kingfisher, your answer is accepted as correct.

No fish.

More clues: It is part of a creature that does not live in the water, but is highly dependent on it. The photograph was taken in Tanzania but it has a closely related cousin that lives in the UK.
