Placemats updated. (But my contentness about the ordering of the glasses in the
side page is less than perfect.)
A ’42 is such a good deed that I have decided to ignore the
apostrophe crime .

As I have pointed out in another post I failed English o level in a spectacular way .... I'm happy to explain tcp stack layers to anybody happy to listen but I'm afraid I'm unable to offer any kind of warranty against my spelling ... gramer or for that matter anything related to words and such like ...
You are of course correct about the apostrophe but more importantly the benefit of the addition of a bottle with 42 on it to the upcoming fun and games.

Mine is correct as documented, but if possible may I join the Welsh Rarebit club and add one to my order?
I ordered it for Thursday night, but apparently forgot to order it for Tuesday night.

I don’t understand the question. Am I missing out on something?!

Hi Everybody, we have a final line up and a final cost now of £180 per head less the cost of whatever your bringing
Can I ask you to bring cash on the night please - just makes the re-distribution that much easier

The inevitable has happened and I cannot find my half case of 1985 Graham. 60,80,83 etc I can find but not 85.
I am happy to fork out for anyone else’s bottle of 85 Graham, if they have one to hand that they can bring along.

I can bring one with me but I would have to know in the next 2 hours. After that I'll be on the way to the airport. As will President Joe Biden, thus the very early 4:00 pm departure for a 9:00 pm flight.

Julian - I am immensely obliged.
Glenn - thank you, and I am glad we are not needing to rely on your fast cellar access.

What time are we starting? Boot and Flogger is a 5 min walk from my hotel.
Alex, should I bring your bottle to this evening or bring it on Wednesday?

Please bring it on Tuesday.
Charles - do you want some of your Ferreira 1977s that I have at home?
