Paul Masson piss pot what a corker! I used to bloody love that. I loved the idea of ripping off the cap and drinking deeply from the carafe with wine spilling all over my face as I glugged it greedily. Such a shame it was such pish. Still I have some of the originl carafs somewhere in the cupboard.</p> <p>@Wayland. No, I was just lazy and didn't check your original!</p> <p>@Jen: GGfather sounds sound chap. Drinks all round.</p> <p>Xmas market in town today. Mixed crowd. Sold out of Piddle gift packs and '77 Port. Still not shifted the Violet liqueur so may have to bring that along later. Never sure whether to drink it or dab it behind my ear. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=53236&page=2#post-153682 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 11:52:18 +0000 Nails UK 153682@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Saw the invite for this on Facebook - all my mates will be along later.</p> <p>I've brought some Schloer as I'm the nominated driver.

I believe the local derby and burton beers (they tend to have a couple on as wellas the doom bars of this world) are worth a punt.
