    Must try learn a bit about Port, love the stuff but know zero about it

    Have been given a nice glass from time to time from people who know their stuff but even if I decided to splash out on a decent bottle I wouldn't know where to start to look!

    Guys. Be careful what you say. I think posts are being reported for what's seen as back seat modding.

    I got an infraction for asking a similar question.

    PM convert (what I was advised to do) with concerns rather than bring it up within the thread.

    I know it's annoying (to say the least) but I've been reporting poster that I think are re-reg's.

    I see clonsottonlad was reinstated as he was wrongly, ahem, fingered as a re-reg.

    But I agree with ye that the forum recently is not as good as it was.

    Certainly worth bearing with for me as I follow Aidan & Rossom and after Urban's recent form I'll be blindly following. He was unlucky yesterday with the one in the last.

    We were on a stag that day, watched it in the pub. Myself and a buddy were on the winner, can't remember his name. Only backed it because we noticed it was Derek O Connor's only ride. The whole pub was on Baby Run bar us so everyone was happy when he was winning and our 33/1 shot was clear 2nd. Then baby run fell and the whole place was looking at two drunk ginger lads lepping and roaring around the place. We had both a fiver e/ w on him so got a nice return.

    Please don't shoot me for after timing!!

    Filming has started! It's in Australia.

    I remember watching The Inbetweeners when it first came out, was in stitches the whole way through, have seen every episode about 10 times and it gets me every time!

    Nope, I agree. It's for big girls. Girls with bellies that hang out over their ski pants while they push a double buggy.
