No it's because we gave you old stock that we were going to throw out anyway.

The Liqueur Tasting Experience

At Margaret River's only liqueur factory, start your tasting with one of our traditionally made sparkling wines. Follow with a white port and a Shiraz port, then onto three of our hand-made liqueurs and one of our pre-mixed cocktails.

I've rewritten most of the ones posted in here to make them a bit clearer. It's set-out by the tabs on your website. I couldn't decipher that bit of script though.

I'll go through your newsletter next

We're pretty excited for the ten year bottle to arrive. Hoping to do some sort of gold foil'esque logo on it for the anniversary.

This is how excited we are;



@Marv: You're a beast mate. Cheers.

Have one of these;



Your choice.

Sing out if you want mate, SC members get a 10% discount.

Will do! Cheers!

I need this tap in my hooos.

Gentlemen, I have a serious questions for once.

A dude i know is going through some pretty heavy shit right now, and he is constantly stressing out. Its causing him to overreact to everything, he's constantly anxious and snaps at everything. Whenever anyone tries to help him, he tells everyone he's fine, but levels of stress that high is not okay. He isn't eating properly, not exercising and can't even really hold a conversation. And this is not the person he normally is. He doesn't take any drugs, and doesn't drink.

How do you approach that? I mean, I don't wanna just not say anything, and let him slowly deteriorate into a mental hospital or anything. Anyone have any suggestions for things I can do to help a brother out?

[Marv]

Fun, fun, fun as usual

Well this past year has flown by hasn't it?

We have finally secured a Port decanter for the 2011 vintage. (this line should be bolded on the site – Marv)
As you can see in the photo, the stopper is different and fits the bottle beautifully. To celebrate our 10th port vintage, I am trying to organise a 10th anniversary print on the decanter.
The bottle should be ready for despatch in May 2012.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oh My God... have you tried our new Butterscotch?!
We can deliver to you within a few days if you order online. Try pouring it over your Christmas pudding, or what about giving our Chai Tea Liqueur a try for another new experience? Yum!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The House Ale is proving to be really popular. So popular, in fact, we now have six packs for $25.00. We can deliver to you within a few days if you order online. It is great tasting and unique to The Grove – you can’t get this beer anywhere else!
If you visit our café, have a Boring Beer. It's 4.8%, light in colour, fresh and easy drinking for summer. Not so Boring after all...

Two ways;

Punch him in the face (seriously)

Try and get him out of the house, even for an afternoon.

I'll tell you what I tell every single one of my mates, only help those that help themselves. Life's too short to live someone elses.

That's just me though, everyone is different.

Tough gig. You might have to either force him to see what's going on (by intervention with others, or by more serious means), or let him slip until he figures it out for himself.

[skillionaire]

Fun, fun, fun as usual

Propped!

[Shaz]

Yeah, I'm well aware of the "you cant help someone that doesn't wanna be helped" scenario. Its just shithouse seeing a top bloke go through a rough trot like that and not being able to lend a hand.

[skillionaire]

Also, Shazbangalang, props to you for being a real mate. Whatever you do now, he'll probably arc up and throw it back in your face - but when he sorts his shit out, you'll be the one that he remembers was a real mate.

[fistaids]

I awoke to a fantastic email this morning, gentlemen! It made my efforts seem so much more worthwhile.



However, I was misled. The bastards... the following is what I received shortly after the one above.



And here is the advertisement in question. I guess I can probably rewrite the last bit to appease him.

[Delete This Account]

Shaz, introduce him to the GT.

We'll sort him out, we're a good bunch of blokes.

[Adam]

Damn I'm hungry.


Thinking of opening a cafe/coffee shop in about 10 years.

I think I'll be sick of a desk job by then.

For a web developer you don't have a very good website. http://www.jellis.com.au/

Almost as bad as Richo's.

[Shaz]

Maybe I should introduce him to drinking?

Hahaha.
