    dunno - I didn't order mine until Tuesday afternoon, so you should
    have been ahead of me in the queue.

    it may just say "dispatched from our fulfilment centre via royal mail on 13
    november" or something, which means it's stuck in a pile of similarly
    undelivered packages at the local depot.

    this happened to me recently, the royal mail couldn't even tell us whether
    the package existed let alone when it might be delivered, so h went along
    in person and hassled the functionary for about 20 minutes until they went
    and dug it out of the pile.

    Mine turned up through Home Delivery Network. I wasn't here when
    yesterday's case arrived, so they left it in the garden & poked a card
    through the door.

    yes, sorry, very bad phrasing on my part - I didn't mean to imply that
    you could track your delivery, just find out whether or not you hadn't
    dreamt ordering it.

    You're all welcome.

    My cases came on separate days. They use a courier around here, not RM.
    I've no idea which company as it's a plain white van.

    So the blood of a hundred poor motorcyclists is on your hands. Shame on
    you!

    *spits* at red wine.

    you'll find i rarely drink port without lemonade and lots of ice too.
    I think you'll find I like some odd things and for that you should be
    very grateful.

    I think they also do a white. I've drunk it at shareholders dinners.
    it wasn't bad either.

    tasty stuff, isn't it? The south american merlot from the free mixed
    case is bloody lovely.

    Oh, not had that one before. The Argentine one, yes? I'll look forward to
    it.

    As I said to Bear last night, their mixed cases are a real education.
    Better than any book as you get to taste the bloody stuff for a reasonable
    outlay. Of course, if you want the same wine again then *kerching* they
    want you to buy a case for 70 quid or more.

    yes - very enjoyable.
    well, duh. But I think I'll be taking advantage of this free case
    offer another 2-3 times.

    As did half of mine on Thursday. And the other half on Friday. It can go
    with the 400 quids worth of wine I brought back from Calais last month.

    Wicked.

    The 2004 edition is available in English from Amazon (marketplace) [1],
    though one would be looking at the thick end of 60 quid delivered.
