Are you insured for travel into bandit country??

As well as insurance I hope he has had all his jabs.

‘‘Bletch on a Train’’ - A new film by Grandee Productions
Think, ‘Snakes on a plane’, without a plane and only one small snake exposed by a comatose colourful shirted drunken vagrant alone in carriage as it pulls into Eastleigh…

How did the weekend go, Bletch? Did you get suitably twatted?

Define suitably?
Friday with @Rallyboy was great UNTIL the band (a tribute band that @Rallyboy knows well) stopped the gig to announce they were playing a new song “dedicated to Dan in the flowery shirt”.
“Ha hey!” says I whilst punching the air and a’whooping and a’hollering.
The band played Erasure’s A Little Respect.
Everyone looked at me in a new light and @Rallyboy is a cunt.
I don’t have a problem with homosexually but all the 50 something women that had been dancing furtively near me suddenly disappeared.

Cunts.

With you on that one. Wasn’t going to drink tonight, but as you say it’s a Saints night, so opened a Mavrud. Just about to eat, then watch a few of our kids show how little our last 2 managers understood football

Just had a Crumpet with Marmalade and opened a Doombar.
Cheese and biscuits lined up for half-time and Silton and Port for full-time celebrations.
Got me slippers on and a tartan rug over me legs to keep me warm. Sadly spent me winter fuel allowance already.

So tonight I will be raising a glass to Gerard Basset who passed away yesterday after a battle with cancer.
Gerard, with his wife Nina, was the owner of Terravina in Ashurst and was a founding partner of Hotel du Vin.
As Terravina was within stumbling distance of home and opened the year we moved to Ashurst, we quickly became regulars. Whilst I liked wine previously, Gerard opened my eyes and ignited a passion for wine that endures today, and for which I will be eternally grateful.
He was a Master of wine, a Master Sommelier (both of which are absolute bastards to attain and only he has managed both), he also has an MBA in wine and a MSc in wine. He was world champion sommelier and came Second three times. In short he was a giant of the industry. Despite all these accolades he was one of the most humble and likeable men I have ever met. Not bad for a kid who left school at 16 with no qualifications.
I feel privileged to have known him and to call him my friend.
RIP Gerard, the world is a poorer place without you.

After that write up of his talent, i hope it’s a suitable bottle.
If i was your neighbour, you’d be getting a knock at the door about now😁
Cheers Gerard
