General Chat

Well, still nothing riveting happening to make me want to renew my GR subscription for another six months.

$18.00 could be better spent elsewhere :-0

What would the Bland thread be without you Allan....but just in case...what could you better spend the $18 on then??

well Allan,

I for one would miss our verbal ripostes'
and banter....

Bob

Thanks, Bob :-)

Two casks of red wine, Caroline ;-) :-D :-D

The idea of the red wine sounds good but two casks for $18....hmmm....what vintage might they be :-D

Vintage? Vintage? Straight from the fermenting vessel to the plastic liner :-D :-D

At $18.00 for two casks the wine should be moderately good. I normally buy (when it's on special) 3x5 litre casks for $35.00 total :-D :-D :-D

I'm fed up

You know how to shop for wine Allan :-D :-D

Always on the look out for bargains, Caroline.

Just recently my daughter, who works for a transport company, gave me a carton of wine (dozen bottles, which her boss gave her after asking if she drank wine.

She said no but that I did, so her gave her the carton to pass on to me.

I told her to thank him on my behalf and, lo, her gave her another one to pass on :-D :-D

The company is in Donnybrook, a major fruit growing area, with quite a few boutique wineries, and frequently receives pallets of materials as part payments.

I've told her to leave it for a few weeks before thanking him again ;-) :-D :-D

Oh I don't know Allan strike while the iron is hot, the guy is feeling generous...it would be rude not to thank him in a timely manner. :-D :-D

I'm running out of places to store the wine :-(

Still, if I drink it as soon as I receive it I may be able to keep the situation tolerable :-D :-D

Ahh - my sort of wine :-D :-D :-D

My mum, used to live in Portugal and regularly bought plastic cartons of red wine, which she then transferred to glass bottles as (apparently) it lasted longer!! :-D :-D

If in doubt use the bath tub Allan !!

We do... that's where we keep our coal! :-P :-D :-D

I'm a true Northerner :-D :-D

'appen you are lad 'appen you are :-D :-D

Aye, Lass, you'd better believe it.

Get thee clogs an shawl on, there's trouble down at t'mill

Ahhh but if he didn't have the wine would he be as funny??......Allan get your daughter to get more free wine and stay on here :-D

Thanks, Barbra :-)

I still fondly recall the mayhem of the pantomime threads :-D :-D

Wouldn't even get past the second post these days :-(

Caroline, actually my daughter visited last night complete with an unlabelled bottle of wine (Shiraz). Very nice. Produced by West Cape Howe Winery in Mount Barker. Usually $17.00 a bottle, but via my daughter's work contacts the wine is $5.00 a bottle.

I've ordered a case :-D

I may have to shift the coal out of the bath :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D
