Re: The Wine Thread
Anything nice over the weekend, chaps? I was introduced to two white wines from Slovenia. A "pinot gris" and I forgot what else. The pinot was very good, the other one not so much. And then a (french) white wine at a low price whose reference I need to get back from my friend, that was really top. ...

Re: WTF Speedos only for men in French swimming pools!
This is not "speedos only"... swimming boxers are allowed as well and that's what pretty much 95% of the male population is wearing out there. Baggies are the only ones forbidden.
