Fish Fry with Squid and oriental dressing The sea food sounds quite nice :wink:

Getting back on message........

Ba, it is the MSB, we are trying to mark out of ten.

Hope you are well, Ba.

You could be so close to success ....don't start

Very difficult, but it's doing you good, by the sound of it.

That's pretty darn close. Waited for the '11 to eventually turn up and opened it tonight. Doesn't seem to show on the quite pleasant nose though. Day 2 might mel oh! it.

Nah. Went the other way. Gone very acid drops, just drinkable if that's your bent.

Sacred Hill 2010 can be bought at Sainsbury and Morrisons.

Tesco online has far better MSB's than it does in store. I quite liked the 2010 Kim Crawford and the 2011 has won a gold somehere.

I wouldn't buy any of the in store MSB's. The Finest Sancerre ( fading fast ) is still by far it's best sb.

I thought Strettle scored. :shock: There was one camera angle where he definitely grounded the ball. :D

Looks down to me here, but video ref wouldn't have had that angle.

Oh well.

It is definitely down. Isn't the argument more about who ? The ref can see through the angle, I'm sure of that. There is Welsh man picking it up - Whose that ?

A brilliant run by Hughes - I'll give the Welsh their dues on this occasion, because I don't think our man had the weight and power to touch the ball down. Can you do frame by frame freeze Goose or Tribs ? I suppose watch again on BBC I player might reveal something. It aint goona change the score though :cry: No one played very well, both sides agree - Hughes had the flash of magic when it counted. Brilliant wide angled conversions though, when it counted, on each occasion by both teams.

If a Welshman says that was a Try - I'll give them the benefit of the doubt :)

Next time......

G & Ba, thanks for the MSB & SB advice.
