I have met ichi. He is a top level 4 at very best.

Now, if it were a bourbon or tequila tasting, I'd probably still be sleeping it off.

Well, stop putten ice cubes in your wine fer cryen out loud -

wine is better with ice cubes.

it's also better out of a box than glass.

Well, of course, then you never have to worry about not having a corkscrew -

Had 8 magpies visit this arvo. Sometimes there will be just a couple in the yard and they see me with the food and they call out to others to come join in the feed. The record is 13 magpies all looking at their food deliverer.
They bring their children and their children's children. We've had the same families visit for years.

1/ I work in an independent bottle shop. One of my maxims is "you like what you like". But having said that you have made a global statement which I believe to be incorrect. Some wines better with ice cubes? Yes. All wines? No.
Which is contradictory to my maxim. *shrug*


2/ I love the concept of wine out of a box. There is no issue of just having a glass and having the rest of the wine going off. My biggest issue is there doesn't seem to be a market for premium boxed wine. I rate the best boxed wine as acceptable. I would gladly pay more for better wine.

I some times see an army of them near our house; and they stay for a few days. It is a bit scary



And we have a constant friend who likes to sing:

Wine in a box is much better for the environment, sort of..

I guess, that fucktard scammer PM a lot of member here. Got a decent amount of PM asking for random parts. I'm kinda tempted to ask all those member to troll that scammer. Maybe make a thread of troll those scammers to get pissed off. lol

If someone falls for it, it's their own damn fault (don't you show up with a red name after all?), and I would rather them learn their lesson with their own money than with someone else's information or something at work. That being said, I would totally support messing with scammers. If we were so lucky that they didn't use a VPN...

Apparently Barbara Cocoran almost lost $400k (a drop in the bucket for her) a few weeks ago to the exact same thing.

In fairness to the people that fall for it it is pretty easy to miss the one number difference at the very end of the user name. Your brain will often see what it expects to see even if that is not what is there.
If I thought it was ichi selling stuff I would not think to dig deeper BECUASE of the red lettering in the name. Many that come on here to buy and sell do not venture out into the forum in general so they may not even know he is in read until they PM him. At least they are PMing the proper number so can get set straight.

Yeah, that’s def the case. Also I use use email address same as username, so that’s another way to know if it’s legit email or not. Iirc I dibbed almost all the major email address using my username, so highly doubt scammer can make a fake one.

Also to add, ichitaka isn’t my real name (which some of you know from buying forum stickers). Every time I replied to PM, I end w “ichi” in there. It’s reason why ichitaka’s first “i” isn’t capital... but don’t think everyone get that part, it’s just my way to show it’s my nick name.
