Awww, damn you IMG. This was such a wonder Fatboy Slim mix zapped with a copyright claim! (Also, I couldn’t grab a copy before it vanished. Booo!)

A weird addition to my childhood, but Cheers - and Norm - hold a special place in my heart. Goodbye George.

An interesting attack, always hang up and call back your bank.

Repeat after me: whisky in casks is not an investment. A few people have made money, but whisky *in casks* has a finite shelf life and needs care. At some point it has to be bottled otherwise it may no longer be whisky. Likely outcome is you may end up with A Lot of whisky.

I've just broken the story on Forbes that Scotch whisky cask investment 'firms' Cask 88 and Braeburn Whisky have gone bust. This is going to be an utter mess for a lot of innocent people who will lose a lot of money. www.forbes.com/sites/felipe...

@sniffpetrol.com Thought this might tickle your nerd brain. This M1 is up for sale, some great in period upgrades and a celeb owner that led to this car being nicknamed the Boney M1. www.broadarrowauctions.com/vehicles/ve2...

There’s a lot of “Americans won’t want to work in sweatshops making t-shirts or screwing tiny screws into iPhones” going around, and this is the obvious next shoe that’s going to drop.

Hmmm, the Ioniq 6 rear looks too much like a Porsche 993. What should we do? Give it a ducktail and 997 rear lights?

Interesting comment from the Missed Apex podcast. Lawson had to bring money to RBR (as did Perez through sponsors). Yuki had an extra dollar sweetener from Honda. RBR also talking about the constructors championship (where the money is). More focus on profit than Matezschitz would have done?

Interesting point from Bernie Collins on the Sky F1 Show. If Max is ill and Yuki joins Lawson, RBR have the 10th fastest car.

I wonder what their loyalty programme is like.

I wonder if Sonos is now most valuable for its IP and installed customer base. A Sonos-native HomePod could rejuvenate the user base and Apple could give the product line direction for a tiny fraction of Apple’s cash pile
