    This looks interesting pink port. :cool: Would work out £4.50 a bottle for 2 cases. (EDIT: only 500ml bottles, thanks for noticing DM)

    It's weird I don't like red wine but don't mind a nice glass of port or sherry. :o

    Not overly impressed with pink port. I bought a bottle in Oporto from the Croft cellar. Still got it, so that tells you something. Tasted much better in its own surroundings.

    Edit: £4.50 a bottle is damn cheap though for it.

    Double edit: 500ml bottles

    For any goblin fans might be worth a look in B&M if you are passing one.

    LS sorry you are still having problems :( I should think you ar fed up to the back teeth :(

    I am. But it's just an inconvenience more than anything else. People have got far worse going on healthwise, including you.

    Diving was amazing, right down to the wire. Poor Louis Smith in the gymnastics though, so felt for him.

    Got free preview tickets for Mike and Dave need wedding dates which I went to see earlier with DS. Hilarious!!

    Unfortunately not. I wonder if a nursing colleague is allowed to do it as I'm sure we have as good a standing as teachers and police officers?:)

    this link might help

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)
