Because of the forthcoming zombie invasion (it might be that; might be something worse), the government has declared an emergency, for Monday 29th December 2025.

You know what to do.

I'm up for fighting any kind of zombie invasion but I hope it happens on the 29th .....

[Mike J. W.]

If it's a zombie invasion, shouldn't this be held at the Winchester?

I regret that I will be in the countryside, eliminating crusty jugglers.

Well at least that's for the greater good.

[NigelM]

I regret that I will be in London, at another gathering, slaying Klingons.

[Alex M]

Yes please.

So far we are three. What theme?

Port that we like ....

[Alex Bridgeman]

29th December is a bank holiday. Will that affect the ability to organise or attend an emergency?

[winesecretary]

I’d quite like to organise a ‘port that we don’t like’ tasting at some point - sort of ‘bring a bottle of a port that you just don’t get on with - and explain why’. I suspect most of us have a few bottles like that.

[jdaw1]

Do the three us of us want one of these sets of four bottles:

I have two boxes of Quevedo’s 2014 closure comparison that need to be opened, and the contents compared.

May I propose the following theme?

‘Vintage Port that you would like to drink if you had not Vintage Port for 7 months’.

[flash_uk]

I think I should perhaps attend. I have a bottle in mind.

Lordy ... 7 months ... Humm ... Let me think about that ...

I'm not sure that we've had a Nebuchadnezzar tasting before.
