    I can just imagine her allowing you to disappear... I think the bender will be for both of you! Have you been to the foam party?

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    I have been going there for 15 yrs now and when i first went the strip you all see did not exist it was just a dirt road with a couple of small restaurants. The oh does not mind me going out after her and the kids go to bed as she knows a lot of my Bulgarian friends from when i worked there and knows all is ok as long as we meet for lunch the next day or so:rotfl:and yes i was at the bar during a foam party in the viking last year but i usually go to the Candy Bar :p

    That's pretty much what I've found with these boxes in the past. It does make me wonder what would be in the £48 though?? Some of the ones Ive had in the bargain boxes aren't cheap wines.....I wouldn't try a £48 one unless I had codes/discounts to get down to £3 a bottle or less.
    Well done though :beer: not jealous at all :mad::rotfl::rotfl:

    I am still :o that no one else seems to have got any. :eek:

    I was hoping for something sparkly have you ever had any FC? These boxes have certainly been a well kept secret. ;)

    The £48 red was in stock when I ordered the other evening but I decided at £4 a bottle was well above my usual margin, £3 was pushing it to be honest. But I didn't hang around to look for any codes. :rotfl:
