Your talk of vikings and barrels of tar had me thinking of 'Up Helly Aa' in Shetland but we'll have to wait a couple of more months for that. Any chance of swapping the Bonfire Boys brew for a white wine?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861397533660827678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165738746874080782.post-51248872044077214972009-11-10T21:15:53.878+00:002009-11-10T21:15:53.878+00:00Raph - I'm sure we could find a local glass-bl...Raph - I'm sure we could find a local glass-blower willing to fashion such a vessel.
