[Michael R]

Count me in please Mark.

[Krusty]

Yes please Mark, I'm in.

[Hacker]

I am short of anything decent. May I make up for this sin by providing aperitif champagne?
If there turns out there is room, can I bring a mate who is interested in this?

[Polymer]

Oops...I won't be here on that date..scratch me .

[TiggerK]

Let's save a spot for monghead, if he's interested?

Michael I was going to say if you're short any decent Barolo please just bring more of that wonderful French Champagne. I understand the Italians regard Champagne as an honorary Italian wine.

Yep have PM'ed him.
