Man with very large bottle of red wine

in the seat in front of me on the train. He's an expert as well; has REAL wine glass plus this plastic sort of holder on top of it to prevent spillages.

I want to ask him to fill my glass right up.

(3 hr journey in front of us.)

AIBU?

YANBU - maybe just ask for a swig?

OMG - it's a very special container. I need to try to photograph it. The sort of thing that would be sold in airline magazines.

Is it a VERY large bottle? Or just a regular bottle?

CreepingDogFart · 22/12/2015 22:31

His Christmas has begun.

HixieRice · 22/12/2015 22:31

Well gosh, what's the worst that could happen? Could be a great journey!

He sounds like he's fit right in on MN - ask for a glass and then lead him here, we could do with more sensible men like that Grin

I like fuckitfay's suggestion.
I do want one of those glasses linked above, ideal for camping.

IT IS A WINE SIPPY CUP - well played, Majestic.

His partner got it in a secret Santa. He's just refilled...

(He's not fit and I'm not looking' (DH to collect). Just by the by.)

Fuckit there is a snack bar but this is just sooo much more convenient. Need to worry about computer safety etc.

anyway, he seems a gentle soul and I don't want to spoil the journey by asking and having him recoil.

Will let you know how it goes. Wifi in and out.

My XMAS has begun too! :)

I've never seen a super sized bottle of wine
Hope he shares, lol.

Not a drop as of yet. We have 40 min left...I even moved my glass strategically but without banging!

He's like the exact opposite of Pork Chop Dude who was here earlier.
