Just sitting down after a long hard day at work and having a glass of Fonseca Ten Year Old Tawny Port. Do we have any Port lovers out there. Tony Oz. ps. "Thunder and lightning" in old Melbourne Town, after 7 days straight hot weather. (Send it down Hue'y!!!!!)

I'm very partial to a good tawny port but don't like ruby much. Enjoy white port with ice and tonic in the warmer weather. Viv in Hertfordshire.

Well I suppose you might as well all have a laugh at my expense:)) I can't drink port or sherry as it makes my arms ache!! - seriously - the minute I take a sip both my arms start aching:)) Chrissie x p.s. Before you say anything, I've heard it all before. Choose a lighter bottle etc etc :)))))))))))))))LOL

Hi Anthony, i had to have a chuckle at send it down Heuy as my father in law used to say that. as to the Port have you ever sucked it through a chocolate teddy bear biscuit bite the ear off one side and the opposite leg, lovely around the camp fire. isnt it nice to have a bit of rain, we had thunder and lightning in Montrose.

Bit partial to a "Ruby Mulberry Port." Here in Oz, many backyard gardens are home to a Mulberry tree and during the months of September and October the tree wil be full of ripe juicy mulberries. Yummm. Tony Oz

Chrissie, My sister doesn't drink alcohol these days but when she was younger and had a glass of wine or sherry it used to make the back of her neck ache. Ann Glos
