chrisp65 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Don’t let books written by a Brit in the 1950’s influence your wine / fish choices! I’m not sure we were great at schizz like that in the 50’s we were still spuds and blue nun. I knew I’d had red with fish, in a proper fish specialist restaurant. Just looked it up in Decanter magazine and yep, it totally depends on the overall meal, acidity, tannins and all that stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a plot point in the film. It’s deliberately a dining faux pas. Not that I necessarily think it is, I don’t have any strong opinion on what wine should be served with what meal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that's what gave him away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly Robert Shaw (blond man) is an enemy spy pretending to be an ally of Bond. This pretence comes with saying his background is similar to Bond’s. When ordering dinner, in this case fish, Shaw orders the wrong sort of wine for that meal. Bond notes this (raised, quizzical eyebrow) and brings it up later when Shaw reveals his true villainous intent. Basically along the lines of “Red wine with fish…I should have known…” Edit - Sorry to anyone who was planning to watch that 60 year old film this weekend and didn’t want that bit given away.

Tegis Posted March 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2023 Is it just me, or has the VT font changed on read vs unread topics? Harder to tell them apart as they both look a bit bold. Or am I imagining it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 When did obstruction no longer be part of the game. As I recall if a defender blocked your path to the goal it was an indirect free kick. Now it just seems to be classed as shielding the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are shielding the ball you are in possession of it, so obstruction is irrelevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted March 17, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 17, 2023 I can say it's a healthy proportion of both types Most of us are like that aul' boy though. But you do get the flutes who go in to watch the parades. It's a drinking day off (or Cheltenham for me ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
