    I've just asked Parker to bring out the Chateau Latour Pauillac 1994 to try. That usually brings them running.

    And a Newkie.
    I think the problem stems from a slight dispute concerning the respective skills of English and Scottish football players. This sent the inordinate number of females invading the thread running and their input diminished accordingly, a disappearence for which we must be truly grateful. However, although women have been surreptitiously trying to take over the thread, we must take into account that soccer is of no great importance to non-British members and, therefore, perhaps we would be best served in keeping our observations to the finer things in life: namely, matters related to sex and alchohol. As for the Ch.Latour Pauillac 1994, it is now retailing at £291.67 per bottle which is considerably more expensive than Newkie ( if you will forgive the vernacular) but I feel that the tone of the club would be irrevocably lowered if the Pauillac were to be served with pork scratchings.

    I beg to differ. Football, NOT soccer, is in fact relevant in all continents except for North America, where men prefer such inferior sports as American *Handball and occasional* football and Base*yawn*ball.

    I take offence to that gross generalization as I do not like American football (truthfully I've never watched a game) I just go to the Super Bowl parties because that's just the thing to do. They're a lot of fun even if you don't watch the game.
    Baseball's okay. Never been a big fan of that either.

    But soccer (or as you call it, football) is by far my favorite sport. I played for years and will have my 5 month old daughter who is quite a kicker, play when she is old enough. Shame it's not more widely watched here.

    You are right of course, I meant to say USA instead of non-British members even though I realise there is an on-going attempt to export football into the US. My reason for mentioning it had less to do with football, of which I know practically nothing, than an attempt to revive flagging interest in the thread itself. That being said, football, or any other sport, is a non starter in comparison to sex and booze.

    How about a topic on ladies underwear, or sömething equally important, to get this thread back to where it belongs.

    Two pictures of underwear below, One from Anne Summers and one from Damart. One is considered sexy, the other frumpy. Whats the difference ?(apart from about 30 quid)

    It's not so much the cost...more about availability!!

    Also, the obvious 30 years age gap between the models.

    You can probably get the second one on offer: Buy one, get the second one half price or even free...

    But no such luck with the first one!

    the first one is just for teasing, the second one is to give you a figure and hold in saggy bits so you look good in a nice dress.

    Although I have never seen a woman wearing the second item (Thank Heavens) , neither have I seen one wearing the first ( Worse Luck ). At the risk of much ribald comment, where have I been going wrong?

    I've never seen that either Brian. And given I'm married and you're not, you can still hope.

    Scher...How can you talk about those poor models in that way! I'm sure they are both very respectable girls.

    Any normal unmarried guy gets to see quite a bit of lingerie in his time but why is it never so inspiring as that in the first picture? As you said, I'm still hoping.
