July 2007 - the month of the Newbies!!!
Hi guys,

I've been on this forum since May 2005, but I've never seen as many newbies log onto our beloved TRF as I have done in this month of July.

Great stuff, guys. Thanks to all the newbies and ex-lurkers who finally decided to take the plunge and sign up on our forum.

Just keep those posts and pictures coming, guys. You fellas are full of spirit and show your true love for the brand.

Excellent work.

Cheers - JJ

When I get home later this month, I'll be full of spirit...................mainly the Scottish sort.

It was only the 10 year old stuff...not the 18. Does that make you feel better?


Had a club soda back with it as well...

Speaking of which, how is the new server seem to be holding up guys? You spend more time here than I do, but for me it seems to be a vast improvement.

Never mind, a few pints of trapist beer would be fine.

A connaisseur ic
Trappisten beer? Just gimme your address I'll have em delivered at your doorstep (and executed 15 minutes later by the Saudian police?).
Was in Washington last month, even there they had a 'Belgian beer' bar!
For a country not bigger than a football field we do export a lot of mana.
