@Vitality_UK it's been 6 weeks since Apple Watch Series 10 was announced, and "in the coming weeks" is all I get when I ask customer services when I can get one through Vitality. Any more tangible updates than "coming weeks"?

Britain is currently mowing the grass, hanging the washing, barbecuing, getting its knees out, washing the car, sitting in a beer garden and trying to get a fly out the house.

I’d love to see a cooking show where the chef attempts to cook an intricate dish while their toddler “helps” them
Pheasant Gully. A great example of a light, easy to drink Pinot Noir that doesn’t break the bank. Air for a couple of hours and typical high acidity disappears @marksandspencer #pinotnoir #WineWednesday #wine
My first Rhone Côte Rôtie from @BrunswickFW. Very powerful aroma - blackberry, damson, liquorice after. Spicy and tart/sweet taste. Changed rapidly during being open. #rhone #wine – at Saint Ives, England
Fabulous #Burgandy Puligny-Montrachet Enseignères 2001. Did not disappoint. Insanely easy to drink @BrunswickFW – at Saint Ives, England
@AmazonHelp please can someone (again) instruct me on how to complain, escalate an issue. In short I’ve tried to get the buyers return team to respond to me, but a human, not an automated response. I’ve spoken to 6 customer service advisors. 4 people from “the right team for – at Birmingham, England
Returns” and 4 appeals have gone in. I don’t want to be sent a form to be then told I should call. I’ve called. Many times. I need to know what the escalation process is, what the complaints procedure is. Please do not send an automated reply to an automated form thank you. – at Birmingham, England

The nostalgia on this thread……My standout phones - Nokia 8800 (still the most beautiful phone ever made, although a useless keyboard you had to use your fingernails to type with) and Samsung D500 (the slide mechanism on this is still the best ever made)

"The earth is degenerating today. Bribery and corruption abound. Children no longer obey their parents, every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching."
- Assyrian tablet, c. 2800 BC
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is currently no compelling evidence that any one of the quotations listed was really inscribed on a tablet during ancient days in Assyria.
