Or is this the Aintree Iron?

I would go with the Aintree Iron company, as it was mentioned on Radio 4 that they were the makers of the series of "open-air" urinals along the north docks road, made of three sheets of cast iron, two bent into an L-shape. I am sure that generations of dockers were indeed moved to give grateful thanks to the Aintree Iron company.

If you were in my area you'd be most welcome. Tonight we have a bottle of Australian Chateau Tahbilk Marsanne 2005. Lemon, peach and honeysuckle. The Marsanne grape is a really refreshing alternative to my general preference for Chardonnay and Sauv. Blanc varieties.

If you were expecting narcotics then I guess I could rustle up some rather pleasant Dutch weed. Unfortunately I don't partake of the stuff whilst enjoying fine wine.

It's a bit like women - these days I can only manage one at a time. :wink:

Fine medication indeed! One at time can certainly avoid some of the complications of overindulgence. Wouldn't want to get Woodstock messy now, would we?

My days of overindulgence are hopefully over. I really try to limit my alcohol intake. I hate being drunk.

As far as weed goes. I have no objection to sensible use of the stuff. I just find those folks who smoke all day and every day to be rather distant and removed from normal interaction.

It's the vintage, Papa M, and the hopefully accumulated wisdom. I could have used almost the same words. Of course, once a decade, just before that first digit changes, I still like to change (or is it charge?) the psychic oil with some of Dr. Hofmann's medicine. I'd better start looking around — it might take a while these days.

I haven't shopped at the Sandoz Supermarket for about 35 years. I'm not sure I'd trust anything like that these days.
I have enough trouble ascertaining which of my expensive wines has too many sulphites in it.
And as for weed. These days I just fall asleep (nice trippy sleep) after a small spliff. :?
