Or any kind of alcohol for that matter.
I caught the stomach bug on saturday and couldn't drink any form of alcohol since!!!
I'm miserable.... even the Cockburn ruby would probably taste so good now.

Ooh. Get better soon. That stomach bug is a bit brutal.

g-man,
Stop being a girl.
As Michael Douglas said in Wall Street "Stomach Bugs are for wimps" (or was it "stomach upsets"?)
Either way, drink port like a man and you will start to feel better instantly.

The instantly better part comes after it goes out where it came from ...
such a waste of port don't you think?
i will drink my catch up share as soon as it passes tho =)
Perhaps another offline coming up ... the "Get better from the stomach flu emergency tasting"

Since 1982, three weeks is the longest without any Port. It has happened every September since 2002 and hopefully this will be the last time. Before 2002, nary a week in 20 years.

That's the spirit - don't let it beat you
Roy, that's some amount of Port
Are you hoping to give up your annual nightmare?

I did the forty days of Lent last year, followed up by the Birmingham off-line. I didn't fall asleep...
... Derek?

Derek,
I'll probably do it again in 2008, but that will be it. Six years of doing so has certainly cost me a year or two off the end of my life.
The bright side is that in 2009, I won't have to stop drinking Port for 3 weeks.
