[Withnail]

Have they managed to let their retail space?

Or have they had to bung a library in there on account of being incompetent arseholes?

 

[John Marwood]

Realise it's early days but anybody been yet? It looks like they've done a rather fabulous job.

Am thinking of visiting tomorrow, you're more than welcome to join me if you fancy a cultural jaunt - train around ten, half ten, eleven, that kind of time.

Some things are to come.

Other things have already been.

Priorities change over time.

TBF most people, in whatever time-zone, don't have to worry much about what they're gonna do about all of their jewel-encrusted gold shizzle.

What would you do?

 

[Withnail]

I've just read a book that claims to identify the depositor - it is very convincing, but one would always like to keep open the idea that this is a heist gone wrong, a battlefield robber who stashed his cache but never got back. I like to picture the poor fecker digging just to the left, just missing it each dig until he had to give up.
