starting this thread, which i hope will be short-lived, to keep the board up to date with latest reports gleaned from the net

don't know it, but there are so many good vineyards there ..... being rather girlie, i am partial to margaux and pomerol, though on balance, prefer very fine burgundy as and when it can be found and afforded

Pomerol is one of those good cheap wines that is complemented and complements food in a quite magical fashion. Cheeses in particular as well as rich dinners with red meat, like in a lancashire hotpot, or shepherds pie I have found go particularly well with this wine.

On saying this I find it a little bit vinegar tasting.

You guys all on the sauce?
I have a bottle of HP with my red meat, never mind that cissy northern hotpot and shepards pie mainly veggie nonsense. Or that Cornish pasty junk.
I always finsih with a delicately flavoured Mars bar deep fried in vintage chip fat.

would that good pomerol was cheap ..... do you have a good source for genuine but cheap petrus lol???

funnily enough, contrary to popular belief and with some exceptions - e.g. roquefort (sauternes) and hard cheeses (light red - e.g. good beauj) - something white, dry and a bit acidic is needed to cut through the creaminess - e.g. sauvignon or perhaps a good alsace riesling or similar

I love this cheese.

demands sauvignon or similar lol!

by the way, how on earth do you post pix, as i have one one of Mistress Toya in stern mood - no not mooning you fool!

This do for you.

savaloys !

"itlob usually drinks vintage piss from haystack's Graves cru classe, Ch. Cesspit "

Get it right.
Haystack's has a sweetly nauseous scent of long decayed grass cuttings and comes from his very own Chateau Merde

Cynic,

I doubt you could tell this difference between a Burgundy and vinegar.

chump .... go back to the gaza thread lol

Cynic,

What do you suggest is Cameron's next move, now that he has got off his charge?

Forgot he is busy with the NHS.

fred - unlike you, i am more concerned with the immediate and longer future of libya and its general effect on whole m/e region, and thus oil and overall stability and the rest of the world economies ......

i recognise that having a bash at the current gov't is your current little hobbyhorse, but actually, other than the fact that quite correctly (in my opinion and many others) cameron stood up and helped get things moving internationally, the uk's physical involvement is and has been no more (or less) than it should have been

Cynic,

Yes.

But Cameron is leading from his rear.

Sorry meant the rear as usual.

Give me your pearls of wisdom on the long term future of Libya.

After NATO puts ground forces in, will it be another quagmire.

(From earlier postings I thought denigrating the government was your forte.)

but i don't need to post twice for emphasis lol!

the blatant rationalisation of using air-power as alleged protection of innocents is pretty flimsy and farcical - but no surprises there, but acceptable to the world at large it would seem, so i guess i'll run with it

ground forces even under the NATO banner are (would be) a different issue entirely, and that makes me very uncomfortable, and i'll ponder on same as and when it comes to pass and under exactly what circumstances etc

overall, i'm 90%+ certain that MG and his family will be exported one way or another within say 2/3/4 months ..... though that will leave something of a vacuum, there are reasons to hope that the transition will be reasonably comfortably - as seems to be happening in egypt - not least because sunni/shiia antagonism is not at the heart of the matter

I believe that Libya has $70 Billion stashed away. Maybe it will be used for the Portuguese bail-out. With such a surplus, Gadaffi hasnt done so badly. Instead of sending him into exile, maybe he could head FEEF and run the Portuguese economy.

Libya the Country, or Gadaffe family

Cameron, while on holiday, seems Hague to sink.

What are the new policies for Libya.

Mind there are only a few hundred Libyans being killed.

A bit like Gaza.

When does our half pint genius think this in unimportant too?

Another ill thought out policy, put in to progress with out discussion of the involved parties and due for a reversal.

This government will be known as the strong U turn government.

fred - your way off line and getting repetitively boring
