[Zebedee]

Just noticed Duffbeers signature.

Spill the beans
When did you pass ?

[Duffbeer]

Beat me to it Zeb, was gonna post it honest

I attended the National Guild of Wine and Beer Judges at the weekend, I took the practical exam on Friday at 3pm, two classes of 10 wines, whte table dry and red table dry. As a result I am now a National wine Judge and member of the NGWBJ.

Bob and Martina were both there and we've had an absolutly fantastic weekend, good food, great wines and some excellent company.
Bob recieved his certificate from passing his in march and as new boy had to give a speech and a toast to the guild, must say the guy produced it well and with confidence (my turn next year).
Will post some pics later once Bob has emailed them to me.

[Zebedee]

Well done that man...

You kept that quiet.
Obviously that confident,you didn't need us all rooting for you

Errrr more on the lines I wouldn't be as embarressed if I'd failed if less people knew.

[Richard S]

Top job dude and once again congratulations!!!

I have been itching to post summat about this since Bob told me on Friday but I thought you should be the one to tell the world the good news.

That's it then, looks like I have reached the front of the queue and will probably going through the same process next year. Bob, Karl, Martina and others (mainly Bob) have beat me into submission.

Your right mate, I wasn't going to take mine until the National in March, but, he wasn't having any of that. So you next, then Martina, then Zeb, Rich, Big les, Mamgiowl, JtFB, Her Lushness, etc, nobody is safe and the list goes on, there's no escape from the pushy Morton wine geek.

[Richard S]

Lol, nice one Karl.

you can leave me out of it...

Dressing formally brings me bad luck.
The last time I wore formal attire I ended up married.

[Her Lushness]

Congratulations mate, well done!

Thanks for the warning about "being on the list" ...


(Lush trots off muttering to find a suitable disguise from her disguise box, and then realises that nobody knows what she looks like anyway )



(Except Biggles and he's probably bribable)

[Richard S]

Me being a gentleman and all that, I don't mind if you go next Lush.

Now That's enough to stop anyone wearing formal attire

Congratulations mate, well done!

Thanks Lush, and if he's not bribable you may have to kill him

[Richard S]

Thanks Lush, and if he's not bribable you may have to kill him

What, kill Big Les, the man that brought us Skittles vodka? Oh, go on then.

[Her Lushness]

Thanks Lush, and if he's not bribable you may have to kill him

EEEK! I'm not sure I would want to kill him, I've only met him once but he seemed like a decent sort of a chap... for a bloke...

After all, it's not his fault that he has a ginger mullet, a false eye, a limp and a moustache and wears plus fours and carpet slippers to go out in. Lets face it, if the hit and run driver had stopped in time, he might still be able to smile rather than having a permanent grimace. But, as I said, he seemed nice enough, even if he does spit and dribble a bit when he speaks...


(Lush is DEFINATELY going into hiding after Biggles reads this)
