so, is it a mixture of wine and something else? Paraffin? What does 'wine-style' mean? I'm trying to get a handle on what Bruno has on his chips.
Well, he appears to be in the habit of pissing on them at fairly regular intervals.

I believe the operative word here is 'whoooooooooooooooosh'

Why do you think he changed his name from hobo?

He's not one of the people anymore.

Inho-ino, is a diminutive in Spanish, ie 'little hobo'. Now that rings bells if he was the smallest.

inho portuguese of course...

but, you know, I've always thought of hobo as being quite dinky, with slightly goofy teeth, and specs, and, this weather, a really long scarf and a beanie... obviously very bright and able to sustain a personna not entirely his own (but with those few little slips that allow us to see through the disguise)...

my guess is studying Latin - what do you think, Tango?

I think the 'hobo' bit is totally deceiving. Unless that is, tramps now eat well, drink wine that isn't supermarket dregs, can afford visits to the Reebok and own a lap-top or pc (probably a car too). I see him as a quite tall; sort of 'Wayne's World' character with a mischevious (but not aggressive) streak. Parka, long hair and bell bottom jeans with Chucka boots. Probably 'Evil Dead' T-shirt and yes, a Beanie hat. Lives at home when not at college. Will the real Hobo please stand up?

You shouldn't be eating at that time of the morning.

I think he's still going, about three years since I saw him, long retired of course. He'll be a fair age now. Rum old bird, he once put diaorhea powder in the drinks of a few idiots acting the prat in his place. They never went back. His after- hours were legendary as you probably know, although he was very selective who he let in.

Sadly, a friend of mine in Halliwell has just informed me that the great man passed away on Friday. RIP, and muchas gracias.

Sorry to hear that also.

RIP Pedro Cuadrado Hernandez... I used to love the early morning lock ins when he would sing Spanish songs, pass round the porron and send you out into the 2.00 am streets tottering home...

I wouldn't argue with that

New recipe for me and partner...

Red mullet, sliced potatoes, minced black olives...

Tried it with a viognier.

Food excellent - better than wine, which was off-dry. From spanish-inlfuenced Pizarro cookbook. Present from daughter. Good girl, knows her dad.

Share the news! i'd like to discover a quality white or two.

Try a white Rioja... Belting.

Also, Chablis which was mentioned earlier, Viognier, Verdelho.

Falanghina is pretty good too..
