No. It only got an 81 off Bob. For the first time I won't be trying the new vintages of SC or Dashwood.

Yeah, I'm totally done-in. My favourites are now "once in a while" luxuries.

I'd registered here in October 08, and 3 days later I put up the best deal for me that I've posted in all this time.

'99 Gevery Chambertin is lush

Yur lucky Mr G, bloody lucky.....your fave stuff is up 50%, mine though, over 100% :cry: .

Read Mel's summary of Bibendum's '09 burgundy in bond !

Blain Gagnard's chassagne and puligny - more than double in 24 months !

Should I have gone out and filled a boot full ? Uh - don't answer that question.

The VAV '10 is down the pan by comparison. Bob's score is up the swanny on this wine. Tried one last night - could 'ave been any light MSB. Perhaps bottle variance again ? All I know is, that this bottle of '10, was pretty much ordinary stuff. Ok - not sweet - which I spose is worth 80 points these days - Duh.

Apart from the VAT and fuel, I expect we're paying for the fab offers pre-Christmas.

Err.....that's not Mel !

That's 10 bob Betty.

Inspired by the example of 2 buck Chuck, Betty goes around the pubs, clubs and restaraunts of Gloucestershire collecting the left overs from people's wine glasses and recycles them into ' new ' wines which she sells for 50p per bottle.

A shortage of wine means Betty often has to add her own wine variants to make up the bottles.

Her West Country Chardonnay is 1 part chardonnay and 2 parts squeezed ferret. Her Cheltenham Cabernet/Merlot blend also has added Welch's purple grape juice for colour and liquidised hedgehog for body.

" I'll use anything apart from pinot grigio " Betty once said.

Whatever you do for wine tokens Goose, you are being wasted. (I'm wasted sometimes too). Have put you forward for the 2011 Ignobel literary award.

Just seen a "quick loan" ad on the tv. Typical APR = 2278% (sic(k)) it proudly announced. NO, there is no decimal place in there !

I had a walk through Tesco's this morning, I noticed some hefty price increases on standard wine, it would seem that £7.49 is the new £5.99

I think this is because rates have to be worked out on a daily/weekly basis and then shown as an APR figure.

They are high but those figures are misleading.
