Watching a film where a woman is released from prison after serving just 6 years for the murder of her wealthy doctor husband and her hair, eyebrows and make up are perfect, just as they were at trial. Hasn’t aged at all and returns to the v expensive home where they lived

Classics to Savour: A Champagne Walk Around Tasting 📆 29 October 🔗 bit.ly/4zoH4z4 Champagne has been shaped by a group of leading houses known as Grandes Marques and this tasting is a chance to taste some of them side by side, comparing, contrasting and delighting in what makes this one of the greatest wines in the world. In this informal walk-around tasting, we'll be joined by some of our favourites, including Bollinger, Ayala, Palmer, Gosset, Louis Roederer, Deutz, Telmont and Billecart-Salmon.

A group dispatched by Hegseth's team in February attempted to move the historic globe, said to be used by Eisenhower during World War II. They lifted it from its home in an Army office in the Pentagon ... and dropped it.

Redbreast 12 currently reduced to GBP44.63 at Heathrow, which makes it worthy of consideration. Just. The 18 you can leave where it is. The last of the Power’s Red Labels are still there too. Just about. GBP16.59 for a litre. Phenomenal value. But gone soon. And yes, I know.
Some bottle of Redbreast 12 Year on sale at Heathrow for GBP44 when it’s usually GBP60. Worth buying at that price these days, I guess, although I remember when it was twenty quid.

A little cluster of Power’s Gold Label Irish whiskeys with the red label that some design consultant genius decided to stick on them a few years ago. They should be prison. But these are sixteen quid for a litre so you should buy one.
