wish i could be there, sounds like a blast. hope you have fun, grant.

Matt

Sounds like this could be a cracking night. Are the Sets going to be recorded?

Along_the_Wire

Matt Haven’t thought, but can do pal

Unbroken1

…no,

I’ll do a Harvey style meltdown and launch Grant’s controller out of the window onto the the White City concourse.

Along_the_Wire

Boooo! It’s their set-up, not mine an all

Matt

Along_the_Wire Brilliant, get it recorded for those of us not in attendance, then Damo can chuck their gear out the window.

Along_the_Wire

Matt I’ll be twatted and holding my phone up as a last resort

bosstrabs

Grant, I hope you’ll be getting a crate of the old Geoff Chambers in for this?

Along_the_Wire

bosstrabs so do I. What is it?

bosstrabs

Along_the_Wire The old Geoff Chambers?

I thought being a wine connoisseur you’d be all over it.

It’s all I drink nowadays to be honest.

Along_the_Wire

I’m more of a Rioja/Tuscan man these days.

BlainSA

Along_the_Wire What Riojas do you tend to go for?

benson

BlainSA i prefer spanish ones.

Along_the_Wire

BlainSA mainly Riservas and Alta Rioja is my favourite. Baron De Ley Riserva is always excellent and I drink that at home a fair amount

vinnyt77

Along_the_Wire Ribera > Rioja IMO. And Priorat > both of them.

The reason a few of us are bang into the Geoff Chambers is that it’s horrifically underpriced in the Chinese market.

A mate of mine buys up bottles from a dealer and we take them to restaurants, pay corkage, and get sloshed on the good stuff.

The Sinos chase after names they recognise, that they think bring them kudos. It’s all very superficial. So you will go to a shitty bar and bizarrely find Chivas Regal at 80rmb a pour and Dalwhinnie or a 12-year old Glenfiddich at 55rmb. Simply because everyone wants to be seen drinking Chivas, or in the case of wine, Chateau Lafite (usually fake).

Along_the_Wire

bosstrabs not knocking it Dave, just have other preferences. Do like a good Bordeaux when it comes to French wine. I think a lot of French wine is badly over-rated and like you say, stupidly priced regardless of where you are

Amps

bosstrabs Treading the racist line here… is this jus a thing in nearly all asian society? All about how you are seen? As in more so than western culture?

Along_the_Wire

vinnyt77 strays too far to from medium into fuller bodied for my tastes

bosstrabs

Amps I won’t derail Grant’s birthday thread, I just caught myself.

But the short answer is ‘yes’. That’s why they all support Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea.

No cunt has enough imagination to think “It would actually be really cool to follow Coventry City or Wrexham” (as at least Yanks may do).

vinnyt77

Along_the_Wire You’re a proper fussy fucker, aren’t ya? 😉
