One of my friends recently smuggled in a bottle of wine for the consumption of our group during the interval of L'elisir d'amore - however he ignored my suggestion that it ought to be cheap Bordeaux, and brought a bottle of rosé Pinot Grigio instead...

A Screaming Orgasm - Tristan und Isolde It'd have to be a very long one, would it not?... Abit off-topic, I know, but I've heard that Bowmore is supposedly good for viola players. |
