my mate who works in the royal mint told me about this astonishing feature on the new £50 notes and we've been avidly waiting for a king charles fifty to test it out - today we got one and can confirm that it does indeed work

I feel like @ben_bt had a lot of fun writing the review of the new Coldplay album. I certainly did reading it.

Ah yes… Many people don’t realise that any reputable wine merchant should take it back. If it’s clearly corked, the age doesn’t matter to me either. As long as they brought it from us. So it helps to have an account or long term relationships.

I am so sick of under performing expensive a$$ wines that are ruined or corked by terrible and archaic closures: one thing makes me more aggro though, the simpletons who rally for such crap to stay in wines that are deemed ‘serious’ y’all are not serious ! Readjust expectations

I’ve nicked this - in a limited and specific way - because it’s a work of heartbreaking genius and I think it deserves to go viral. 😉
