Ahh no, I did say earlier, I think.... judging is going to be on Saturday, had work/family commitments last weekend. But if it means we get to try your Pliny i'm delighted!

My American Amber didn't turn out too bad, but it's a bit late now, should have checked the thread earlier!

The tracking for mine is still showing as "at the depot" but hopefully they'll get it out to you tomorrow

(I've a feeling the post and couriers this week area bit behind after last week's double bank holiday)

Your right, i'm expecting a ton of post, most importantly from CML which hasn't arrived!!

Sorry mate, it's not here Looking back I never confirmed that it had arrived which I normally do.

Ah nuts. Looks like the sorting office will be enjoying two mediocre beers!

Don't think I'm going to make this one. This blasted cardboard box business: I'm right out of decent sized boxes; the only one iI had is too big really and would need a ton of padding. I have a roll of bubble-wrap but that'd only scratch the surface, I went to the Post Office to try to buy one, but the only one they had was too big too. Then I remember about Pringles tubes. Down to the supermarket, but, checking, Pringles boxes are that bit smaller now, and a bottle won't fit. And they are not 'telescopic'.

So I'm afraid I'm at the point of saying, soddit!

Still showing as "at the depot" I reckon they've lost/broken it.

I suppose it might turn up tomorrow - no sediment so you can chill it and drink it if that's the case

Or it might turn up next week - in which case, enjoy , missing the comp is my problem for cutting it so fine
