RIP to a massive part of my childhood. Genuinely saddened.

We do. It can. It has been. The culprit can expect a much lower tolerance of knobish behaviour for a while.

Given his impending financial troubles with the US authorities, you might find that the owner of Turnberry would let you have it cheap.

And those particular ones seem to have mastered the knack of leaving straight lines with their grazing...

Taking all that into account, by my calculations, we won it last year and Palace were relegated.

I don't know about that. I think it's what makes the jury system so powerful. The chances of having 12 people with the same attitudes on one jury are reasonably remote. And yet, they are required to reach a unanimous verdict (in most cases). If you can get unanimity from 12 people with...

Many thanks for the recommendations. I'll get a couple - probably "Ninja", Bolund, and Giraud - and report back...

Yes, I do plan to try that as I saw your earlier recommendation - thanks. I'm keen to get a recommendation from McTavish as his attitude to natural by design wines seems to be more generally positive than yours.

How about this: give me a recommendation of a natural by design wine that you think I might like, and I'll try it and report back? Budget: South of £100. As we both know, that's plenty big enough to get a truly brilliant wine if you know what you're doing, so I assume it's true for natural by...

Amusing contribution, and thanks for the compliment. However, I would observe that McTavish clearly knows his stuff. He has a somewhat different opinion to me and is, imo, worth listening to (you might, but I won't. Obviously.)

I don't disagree with the factual parts of your post (except, perhaps, the implication that 40mg/l of total sulphur (even in a white) could reasonably be described as 'natural'). It's your last phrase that drives my opinion: "it's just really difficult to consistently make good wine without...

I would describe myself as a knowledgeable, avid wine drinker and collector, with a sizeable cellar containing wines from around the world. There is not a single ‘natural’ wine in my collection, nor will there be. It’s shit. Hope that helps. Lowish sulphur? Sure, providing the maker really...

Thus avoiding having to queue up for a manky, over-priced burger at the Amex. I like your thinking.

You mean like we do for cows, pigs, and lambs? Radical thinking. It is slightly odd that we think that we can put very different cuts of meat into the oven at the same time, at the same temperature, and cook for the same time, and expect them all to come out perfect with a chicken. We wouldn’t...

Nicely done. :lolol:

A litigious person or their lawyers, perhaps? Granted, the risk is small, but the consequences could be the closure of the site and the possible financial ruin of the site's owner. If you're happy to face possible bankruptcy (albeit a very low risk of doing so) so that (in the main) total...

Last warning all. Post nothing stating or implying Giggs' guilt. If someone does, the thread will be deleted. If you're determined to share your thoughts as to his guilt please do so on a private group (eg Whatsapp) or your personal social media account. Perhaps you could tweet your opinion...

FFS. I had this as a nailed on draw prior to seeing your post. If we go down due to the point you’ve just caused us to drop I’ll be blaming you.

Interesting observation. Intuitively, I would have expected the reverse to have been true - better stereoscopic vision if the eyes are farther apart. Perhaps, if your observation is correct (and I’m not questioning it as I have no data), closeness gives more precision in focus? Or something.

Could I remind people that British decency and, perhaps particularly relevantly on this thread, English Law dictates that an individual is innocent until proven guilty, whatever one’s personal opinion of the accused’s likely guiltiness. This means that statements (or clear inferences) of guilt...
