Hey, careful with those pins! People walk on this shag pile occasionally.

LOL.

I haven't seen a post here in so long I was wondering if it was worth
checking all the time.

Good to see at least someone's checking in, hope you have a good new year.

Cheers,

It's hardly Queen Street, Friday Night busy (remember that show on 1ZB? (or
was it Hauraki?) many years ago?) but it's worth keeping an eye on.

Thanks for the Noo Year wishes. Gelukkig Nieuwjaar right back at'cha!

Heh! Thanks Nic. I took advantage of a Foodtown special that EMB bought to
my attention; Lindauer Special Reserve for ten bucks a bottle (half price
[or less] for a wine that, comparitively, considering Mumms and Moet et al,
is 'worth' ~$100+. If I could I'd lay down a few cases at that price...) and
strained the budget to two botles so, to borrow the words attributed to
Pierre (Dom) Pérignon, on NYE I'll be "drinking the stars".

Needless to say, on NYD I'll likely have a headache.....

Cheers,

That stuff does unmentionable things to your blood pressure, too, so I have
heard.

I'm blessed with good blood pressure. Never had a problem (except when a
pretty girl walks by, and then it's a localised problem).

Turns out the wine got drunk tonight. The SR Brut was good but I don't care
for the SR Cuvee Riche. Looks like I'm down to the few bottles of cheap
Spanish syrah for NYE, <shrug> not that a new year means much to me these
days...

Ciao,
