Things have been operating pretty smoothly without you here at the store, so we're actually going to cut back both of your hours when you get here, sorry. Good luck at the airport, hope you have a smooth flight. See you soon! Adam Wow, you guys really look very ready to come home in that photo.

Great picture of Marksie, but I've discovered that pictures of Phil look a lot better when there's something gigantic covering his head. Oh, that's a bit mean. I really just want to know if you won the drinking contest, though it sounds like there were no real winners... It should probably be pointed out that Adam has a gung-ho shotgun approach to just about everything. Adam (not Marks, don't blame me) I bet you didn’t eat any Bresse chickens that night.

All you have to do now is capitulate about something and you'll be there. People weren't giving you weird looks for recommending Chassagne rouge, it was the obsessive note in your voice and the slightly crazed look in your eye. Glad to hear you haven't done anything stupid recently, hope that goes for both of you!

I always had my doubts about you. We should have given you a thesaurus before you left, you seem to be running out of superlatives for the wines (a good sign for you guys). That list of tasted bottles seems really wrong, I'm sure the numbers should get smaller as you go up in quality, not the other way around (again, a good sign for you guys). Sounds like a pretty good partridge, and we know you've shared at least one French (Bresse) hen. Keep up the good work, Adam Shandies, Phil? I always had my doubts about you.

The things you'll do for the shop, hey? What a pair of troopers. While we're having a blast working in the shop and making sure everything is fine in your absence, we'll try and spare a thought for you poor souls trapped in 3 Michelin Star restaurants drinking Burgundy. Hang in there. Adam It sounds like you guys are really doing it tough. The things you’ll do for the shop, hey? What a pair of troopers.

You said it was faulty, he said 'I know, it's French'. That chicken sounds like it was named after a Victorian winery, I wonder if there'll be legal troubles...
