Blue Just to chuck my two cents worth in.. you have huge respect from most people on here I'm sure, including me and are supported by many. For what its worth I always enjoy reading how the empire is doing and have some great epople in ot like Evil Steve, Rainbird, Stydracos etc.. You and your crew have been the inspiration for many of the stories and the fun on here which is what its all about really. Just to echo the rest Hang in there.
Jaws the Wayfarer
I had 9 cases delivered today your Suaveness.. cheers
Paul/Solitair Ireland actually play as a united team in Rugby Union, its the only sport they do it in I believe
Ha Ha nice one Hurls, However, people in glass houses my old mate.. I refer the Suave one to his previous post on the POSSe thread and his Tasmanian reference. ;)
You're right Solitair... For those that aren't aware it's the Rugby World Cup in Australia at the moment and yes the USA does have a team in it as do Canada although they will both be going home next week. Being a Pom (stands for either a) Prisoner of Mother England b) Prisoner of His Majesty) If you look at the English (not Brits) sporting failures against Australian teams over the past few years or decade, you cop a lot of flak over here about it. So
Some good news... I have just received 9 cases of wine... Party round my house.
Well said Wild One... I've just noticed the Obi Wan is leaving due to all the changing that's been going on. I feel guilty now for having this month's break, which was just a bit of fun and not intended to stir up people like Theodan in the metaverse review article. I apologise to all if I have caused offence with my actions.
Lot's been happening over the weekend... Most importantly, England were very lucky to get past a very good Samoan side.. was on the edge of my seat until the last quarter.. Anyway on to other matters... Great story Wombie, I am always amazed at how good you, Killa and Quack write, truly brilliant. Thanks for the dedication Killa, got a lump in my throat reading it.. In response to Wombie's open letter, you have kind of hit teh nail on the head for me, I guess
Have a great time quack... I'm off to see the jocks against the frogs tomorrow.. And Buzz, its unlikely NZ will finish 2nd behind Aus, they will probably meet in the semis So it's Poms, Hobbits, Wobblies
As there doesn't seem to be much happening scoring wise with GROSS just thought i'd have a bit of fun and start my own empire until the World Cup finishes, hope it doesn't exclude from still being a POSSe member
Buzz... I can see it now a Fraser Gehrig Look alike
Evil Dave... I know reading isn't your strong point but I'll try again.. only kidding. :) I went up the Swan River to Sandalford and Houghton's... I know it's not Leeuwin Estate, but Sandalford have some very very good premium reds and Houghtons is also home to the vey good value Moondah Brook label.. Their 2001 Shiraz is very easy to drink.. I would liek to have gone to teh Margaret River but not enough time.. And Hurls yes very pleased with the result, alt
Fantastic work Killa, dont know how you do it... Brilliant. Interesting stats Cypher.. I liked a comment I read by you on another thread where you give the aliens a sub PQ planet and call it Ashlyn's Zoo... Now there's ab idea for a story line... I was in Perth over the weekend, and went on a wine cruise up the Swan River and bought 9 cases of wine plus and absolutely wonderful Port... Think thats the end of my travels for a few weeks so will try (I promise) to do some
mayito I'm english
Those are only the places i've lived in for at least 6 months... It comes with the job
OK, so I've got the wine, wombie has the bags.. Hurls? soggy sandwiches? cardboard to sleep on? or ?
Hurls and any other Pirates who are interested I have a friend who is a Wine Merchant.. I get the wine at probably 2/3rd the price of what they would be in the bottle shop. If you are interested I can send you a list.. here's my email [email protected]
who's going to supply the brown paper bags to wrap around the bottles.. or should I bring my Riedel
Pom in Sydney, Australia... The absolutely best place to live. via Hong Kong Istanbul, Turkey Prague, Czech Republic Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England Wooburn Green, Buckinghamshire, England Colchester, Essex, England Grays, Essex, England
Not at all Wombie.... Ultimately it comes down to what you like, not what somebody says you should like... When I get to melb i'll bring a few bottles with me and we can sit in Albert Park like 3 winos
Will look out for those Hurls... I will know next week if I will be in Melbourne probably 25th - 26th, I'm off to Perth tomorrow to support the English Rose against the Springboks, Pity I won't get a chance to get to the Margaret River.. I have also heard that the current good thing from the Hunter Valley is Lakes Folly... Just about to win all sorts of trophies so the price will shoot through the roof once it gets those medals stuck on the outside.. Another Hunter wi
Hurls I like your summary above but only 3-4 dozen bottles a year? That's less than one a week.. I've been in Oz now for just over 6 years and probably started buying around the 95 wines, so am now in full rotation. I would guess I buy about a dozen cases a year including a couple of cases of leg opener (oops champagne oops sparkling wine... you know what I mean)
to contribute more #1500 :CONGRAT:
oops should be chance
so will get a change
