Lipstick Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Me decide????? Why me????? Mr. Masi, asia's oldest airline.... CX? Or oldest as in low tech... PAL? If you used to work for PAL then you might know my father in law. He was the station manager in Syd for the longest time. Oh plus we have several family friends too who were with PAL, those who got stationed in Bangkok during the time we lived there. Quote Link to comment

PAL served a champagne on its FC, (frills of working for the airline) i just forgot the name.... not a Dom P. I drank 3 flutes just before taking off.. then drank another 3 for dinner...(this was maybe in 85 or 86) by the time i got to bkk, i was wasted. i had to fly to frankfurt pa!!!!! so i was practically sleeping the whole flight from bkk to fra. PAL had the sky beds pa then. this is not the end of the stories of my drunken stupors in at 39k feet... Quote Link to comment
masi Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Why is Dom Perrignon pricey these days? My wife and I planned to give a bottle of Dom to relative who will be celebrating his 70th birthday in July. SIN and MNL duty free didnt have it on stock last april so we went to Rustan's. It was selling for P8000+ per bottle. I remember getting it at MNL and DFS HKG for $100 to $125 about 1 1/2 years ago. What caused it's price to shoot up? Quote Link to comment

bods1000 Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 For a minute back there I thought I was in the wrong thread and you were describing someone's lips Haha sorry Watson, no cigar! I've got an O somewhere in my surname but am afraid not as my middle name. Damn! hahahaha. Wow sloshed, intense ... shiraz! Those words really go well together in a sentence! Haha. 30K feet ... you mean get sloshed 30K feet apart? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it could have gone either way, you know the anatomy of a wine was what I was describing - not the anatomy of a wino hehehe... any location w0uld do - anywhere in your name - or getting sloshed anywhere...

bods1000 Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 what would be the best way to remove a wine stain on a white shirt? Quote Link to comment
agxo3 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 what a mishap with the bottles!!!! is it a foretelling of better days? i hope it is otherwise you have to get a bottle form their personal cellar!!! how i envy your location!!!! right smack in the middle of U.S. wine country... there couldnt be a better way unless you own your vineyard.. maybe that time bods and i would be on the first plane to visit you and be your apprentices...<{POST_SNAPBACK}> a road trip to wine country! :boo: parang SIDEWAYS! then who should we take along as Sandra Oh and Virginia Madsen <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup - another wine road trip! What misery! It's nice being so central to all these wine regios - Napa and Sonoma to the north, Livermore to the east, Amador County further east, Santa Cruz Mountains to the south, Paso Robles and Santa Barbara/Santa Ynez Valley further south. Nothing more than 4 hours away. It truly is heaven! I've been looking around for a vineyard I can afford to buy - I just missed on a small plot (just 4 acres) last year, but keep on hoping and looking around. Maybe one day I'll find something! Then I'll be truly and old wino! Do we have volunteers for the Sandra/Virginia roles? But seriously, folks - if you're ever in the area, let me and Eagleeyes know. He's closer to the Napa area than I am, but I'm close to Livermore and points south. Either way, we can arrange a full weekend (or even more perhaps) of wine bliss. I have MY list of lesser-know but very good wineries, and I'm sure he has HIS list. Quote Link to comment
agxo3 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 what would be the best way to remove a wine stain on a white shirt? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Scissors?? :upside: I presume that's red wine, right? Has the shirt been washed yet? If it has, then you're SOL. Sorry. If not - start with white wine. Soak it to loosen the stain, scrub a bit, rinse with more white wine. If you don't want to use white wine (and I can see why!), then you might want to try alocohol - not rubbing alcohol since that has water in it, but something without a substantial mount of water. If there's anything lest, then rub salt into the wet stain and let is dry. When you brush off the salt the rest of the stain should come out with it. Hope this works for you! It works for almost all wine stains. Quote Link to comment

What caused it's price to shoot up?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's apparently a shortage of a LOT of alcoholic beverages lately. Champagne is one, single malt scotches are another. Also, the Euro has gone up in value about 10% over the past year, so everything European is that much mroe expensive in places that are tied to the dollar. PHP8000 is about US$145, so that's relatively close. Here, at Costco, it's just over $100, I think (or is it $90? - haven't checked lately). Quote Link to comment

I wish you could really have a vineyard you could call your own someday... No volunteers yet for the S/V roles Quote Link to comment

Dadalawa na nga lang kayo di pa kayo magka ayusan sa date. what would be the best way to remove a wine stain on a white shirt? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I once spilled shiraz on a khaki skirt. Baking Soda does the trick. I've tried baby powder and it helps but baking soda is the most effective by far. There were light stains that were left which went away with 2-3 washings of that skirt.
