The secret of a good stewpot is to give it the occasional stir.

The decanter has a rather good late port in it. Never meant to be that way. The decanter is supposed to be an ornament but the cork split whilst opening the bottle.

You see, you should always be normal (pour from the bottle) but if something breaks (cork, decency) you should have an ornament to hand that is suitable (decanter, f'ing and blinding).

Or some such bollocks.



Sorry. Rather pissed off. Still at Kings Cross. Supposed to be supporting my local folk club 150 miles North tonight. Looks like nicking Michael's cooking sherry and watching the recorded MasterChef instead.
