I love it with some crackers, strong cheese, chutney, grapes and nuts. One of my mates is a port lover. He gave me this bottle of crusted port about 5 years ago and he reckons it is near on as good as vintage but a lot cheaper but he says I should decant it first or stand it up for a few days (and FFS don’t shake it) before pouring it out carefully as there will be lots of crust floating about in it.

Very nice, I drink a bottle every xmas day, I think it is a real treat at xmas and I look forward to mine, Lena has bought me a bottle every year for the past 10 years. That is a good one you have there.
Waiting for council to empty the bins. Second time in 3 weeks they've not emptied them due to the 'heat'. FFS! Do they not empty the bins in Spain for 8 months of the year?? Council bunch of pussies!

That is disgraceful really though isn't it.
It is but to be fair the agency workers are better than the proper workers, earlier, make less noise and take a bag if you leave it on top of the bin.

I would sack the ones striking and just take on new workers in that case,
Would make sense but they have a good union

Yes that is the only reason they are doing what they are, a lot of the top jobs are still unionised although trying to get a load of blokes at work to stick together is near on impossible.
We use black bags round our way. We're not allowed to put them out the night before (if you do, the foxes rip them to shreds) When it’s hot, we get a notice to put them out very early as they collect them from 6 am onwards.
