A nice neighborhood to have bad habits in

Come to the pub tomorrow. You can rant about the Bon Accord's limited wine selection.

I'm sure if you ask them nicely they'll serve it in a half pint glass for you.

From:

Half pint? No half measures for me thank you very much....

From:

Does that mean you're going to rant at the interwebs and not at me?

From:

Good man! We'll make a beer drinker of you yet!

On a Thursday? How decadent!

From:

No, but I'll match you pint for pint in wine...

From:

I'll be ranting out loud. As well.

From:

*weeps feebly*

From:

Decadence? Decadence? Drinking absinthe at nine in the morning while oiling up an adolescent for later, now THAT's decadence. Knocking back a bottle or two of Chauteau Clyde at the Bon? Bah, that's mere disolution.
I wonder if Duncan will be there?

From:

Bah, in my day we had REAL weeping....

'Fore you gets ranty, tell us how M Jr. is doing.

Then go to it, my son.

From:

MM the IVth left last night, and is down in Newcastle, en-route for Uni. He's had seven nights of un-interrupted sleep, and I suspect that the trigger for my rantiness is, at least in part, empty-nest syndrome...

In which case the question is: wine. New World vs Old World (is that even a term? Surely European should cover it? Go!

From:

I like Old World (well, obviously - you've seen my birthdate).
I've just realised, actually, that there is no better better summation of the old/new world takes on decadence than Hal Duncan Lunan...

Boo hiss! I wanted online ranting and now everyone's attention has been diverted to thoughts of the pub. And I live in a completely different city. You all suck.

From:

You'll get bored before you get pissed if you try that. Have you any idea how long it'll take me to drink a pint of wine?

From:

The Bon Will Be Open. Therefore Duncan Will Be There.

This is how it has always been, and how it always Shall Be. For thus equilibrium is maintained, and all is well in the karmic universe.

Om.

From:

Pub! Tomorrow! Full pub syndrome!

Good to hear Jnr is back on an even keel - pick up your father of the year award at the Bon tomorrow evening.

Does this make a change of some sort?

From:

When he rants at the interwebs, I don't have to pretend to listen. ;)

From:

Ok, you drink beer, I'll drink wine...

From:

We do indeed. Come visit.

From:

If We Open It, He Will Come.

From:

More of a "back to basics" sort of thing.

From:

You're being mighty persausive.

From:

You need some practice on this "pretending to listen" stuff...

From:

Didn't Mr. Burns have something to say aboot a pint o' wine?

From:

What about Persian, Lebanese, Moroccan and Algerian wine?

From:

Yes, no having it while you're supervising a nuclear power station in Springfield. Oh, you mean the OTHER Mr Burns...

From:

What about them? Bring them on, that's what I say. (except, please, no Greek wine).

From:

Sorry dear, what was that?

From:

I'll be in my bunk.

From:

Merely making the point that, vinously speaking, "old world" does not equal "European". Personally I am quite fond of Lebanese wine.

From:

Yup, I was in complete agreement (until the memory of resinous wines came flooding back). I've had some fine, quaffable stuff in Morocco too.

And for anyone looking beyond Musar for Lebanese wines...
