I cant stand port. Horrid stuff.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I enjoy port (tawny more than ruby) in its traditional after-dinner role, but I can't drink it as a cocktail. Even then, I prefer a more traditional dessert drink, like Fra Angelica.

Same here, I'm limited to Port nowadays. Which is probably a good thing anyways cause it comes in those small bottles. :lol:
You can get full size 70ml bottle of port here. You can even get 1 litre ones in most supermarkets. What do you mean by small bottles?

Which one, there's two, Ruby and Tawny? Ruby (as it's name suggests) is red while Tawny is more of a light brown sherry sort of colour.

I'm the opposite I like Ruby rather than tawny. I can drink it slowly over the course of an evening.

So, by "small bottle" you mean "non-magnum, normal-sized bottle?"

:) ha. as you would say to an old text editor I used to use c/ml/cl
Or to put it in terms people can understand, I'm mad and I ment 70cl or 700ml (a standard wine bottle size).

Kind of figured it out. Unless, of course, you're in the habit of buying a jigger of port at a time.

I just find it odd that you can get 40oz of hard liquor or a box of wine but Port just comes in a 750ml bottle.

I find your topic of discussion odd. You've been talking about alcohol for how many pages??? Is it really that interesting? Why don't you just create an alcohol thread?
So does anyone know what make-up artists use to make Vulcan ears and Klingon ridges and everything? Bob tried Play-doh for ears but that didn't work. Wasn't sticky enough, wouldn't stay on.

I find your attitude odd, why do you care if we talk about booze?

Because, she hates alcohol, IDK why, and I think she was genuinely curious. As she would never talk about alcohol for more than five minutes.

Sorry, didn't mean to come across with an additude :oops: . I meant for it to be kindof funny (not very good with humor). I guess maybe if I put a smiley that would make people laugh instead of getting them mad. I didn't want to make anyone mad. :(
