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

something that impresses me about European away fans - how's some fella from Augsburg got a number for a Wednesday night in Birmingham?

I feel like @ben_bt had a lot of fun writing the review of the new Coldplay album. I certainly did reading it. theguardian.com/music/2024/o…

Coldplay: Moon Music review – ‘live, laugh, love’ in album form

Their 10th album has epic songs that make you feel like you’ve climbed Everest – but they’re undermined by corny lyrics and ​ambient-orchestral waffle

Why is the life-saving helicopter funded by charity, but the royal's helicopter is funded by the taxpayer?

David Beckham and Prince William celebrating you raising £15m for the London Air Ambulance Charity as if they did it. Either of them could have done it with their pocket change.

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

If you don’t understand why all wine should be under stelvin, i cannot help you but you need to read a book and get a palate.

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. 😉 #LiarJohnson #JailJohnson

I trust the driver will be prosecuted in the same vein as those who discussed blocking the M4.
