Thanks Elliott. Having problems with a painfully slow internet connection, but I sent a reply a few minutes ago.

With the sheer number of cat pics posted in the "Show our mugs" thread
sending ANYTHING by carrier pigeon might just be as futile as inter-continental smoke signals![]()
Did you get the test email I sent to you earlier?
Nothing yet, Jack. Ryan brings up a good point. Perhaps a drone? (Sans ballistics.)
I did thanks Elliott. Replied to it and have just re-sent that. They're both stored in my 'Sent' folder. If you don't get either, I'll try again tomorrow. The long and the short of it is I'm trying to palm some crampons off on you!![]()
I won't use 'em, Jack, but thanks. I'm going to send you another email momentarily with another email address to try.
I guess I'm gonna have to break out the MacAllan 12. That's the best I've got.
(But I'm still finishing up some Montepulciano.)
Used to be my regular tipple when I lived in France, strangely we only get the 10, 15 and above here.
Montepulciano's a great grape!
Sounds like you're having a pleasant day
The pipe giveaway was an extra nice touch I thought![]()
Are you sure you are being "driven to" the Aberlour A'Bunadh? I think you'd have to drive me away from it, if it were in the same room with me.
Too kind, Jack. I'm hoping that we'll be able to visit in the not too distant future. Consider this an invite to stay at Chez Blues should you find yourself adrift on this side of the pond.
Cheers and mind your head!![]()
