The hideous Thom building home of the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford - unfortunately since my time the paternoster lift seems to have been removed.

Not actually batata harra, but the Al-Shami served us beautiful Lebanese food - shame the budget did not run to a bottle of 1993 Chateau Musar
I have 10 bottles of 1993 Chateau Musar in a cupboard - shall i bring one to Northwich?
ReplyDeleteI worked in the Thom building in 1996 & 1997. Fabulous views with one big advantage - you couldn't see the Thom building!!
That's a pretty impressive cupboard you have there! Yes, that would be fanastic - I'll need to work on the Lebanese food aspect tho'.
ReplyDeleteThom - that's a coincidence - I didn't work as much as I should have there as an undegrad between '77-80. I loved watching the clouds rolling across Oxfordshire... maybe I should have studied meterology instead of Engineering Science.
You have a great blog here. I like reading unique blogs like yours. I have a site myself which provides information on popular vacation destinations. I want my site to be a place where anyone from around the world can come and have that vacation spirit or "vacation feeling" as you can tell from my domain name.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to exchange links with you to help spread some traffic around between each other. Please let me know if this is possible.

I first had Lebanese wine in a restaurant in Llandudno - it may well have been Musar. In a matter of a (very) few weeks, I had found enough excuses to entertain clients to drink their cellar dry of it! It is beginning to make a well-deserved comeback I hear, and I did see some in an off licence recently. Foolishly, I didn't buy....
