I just caught a bit of the One Show, a sofa full of guests who were one by one asked if they were going to watch the wedding. Things were going great for the BBC suckup presenters until they got to Jon Richardson and Jo Brand, who both said no. Desperately trying to suckup to the Royals the presenters pushed on to try and talk them round, except Jo Brand came out with "the royals have had all emotion washed out of them" amongst other comments.   Brilliant. I love when the best laid plans fall flat on their face.

This possibly does deserve a thread of its own, but what the heck:

 

I was rummaging through my loose change prior to buying lunch this morning, and noticed something odd: one of my 10p coins was "unmilled" (the edge was smooth, rather than ridged). On looking closer, I also realised that the coin was slightly "off-centre" - the outer ridge on the "face" side was wider at some points than others.

My immediate reaction was that it was counterfeit, but I'm well aware from my old stamp collecting days that misprints happen, and that they are collectable. I therefore went online, and found - amongst similar pages - this:

I suppose the moral is: keep 'em peeled!
