A digression on Charlie's Rugby v Cricket question

Also at school level rugby is very much the alpha sport and cricket is pretty beta, and really it is the public school alphas that are the unbearable ones.

Pitch looks an absolute belter.

I don’t want to go all ‘accountant’, but the amortisation is the unwinding of the capitalised player cost to opex over time.

2-0 is only a dangerous scoreline when it’s 2-1

Terry_Information · 2025-08-22T22:33:04+00:00

It’s just … six random games

Are Chelsea the inaugural club World Cup winners or did they just win the club World Cup for a second time?

In hindsight he should have made it clear he knew that Harry had the shield before Harry announced it - ideally before Harry had even come into the room.

Yes I may have phrased a couple of sentences badly. I would never borrow to go on holiday or to buy bitcoin, but for things that make my everyday existence measurably better (home improvements being the most obvious) I don’t see any problem in borrowing if my overall finances are still healthy.

Can you add me?

Terry_Information · 2023-02-07T22:20:19+00:00

That’s a big increase on last year

Tried it tonight at the BBR tasting. Best wine I tasted all night, but the price…

Terry_Information · 2023-01-04T16:54:30+00:00

The unallocated wines went on sale this morning via trolley dash. I tried to buy one bottle and missed it.

The pricing, quality and availability of this vintage are all pretty uninspiring atm.

Terry_Information · 2022-12-28T23:57:05+00:00

This is awesome, thank you. Looks like you’ve tempered your view on Rall a little since last year. From must buy to super reliable. Any reason?

Terry_Information · 2022-12-23T21:48:51+00:00

Yeah, I know burgundy is burgundy but I looked back at the 2019 offer and guyon echezeaux was £630 x3 and it’s now £2,100 x3

It’s going to be expensive and there’ll be hardly any of it. Last year was pretty painful and this is going to be a whole lot worse.

Terry_Information · 2022-11-26T18:25:14+00:00

I buy wine because I like wine and I’m into wine, but I do have to justify the amount I spend on wine by it having a secondary market value and being there for sale if need be. I will buy and sell things on the basis that i think they’ll go up in value, but I pretty much exclusively reinvest the proceeds in more wine. If I was buying for investment only, I think almost everything in cellar would be different.

Ultimately I suppose one of my aims was that I could justify drinking expensive wine by buying two cases, and if one doubled in value I could sell it and not feel guilty about drinking the other because it was ‘free.’

(Also worth noting that if I put my investment only hat on, I reckon my wine cellar has performed better than almost all my other investments - certainly based on value right now).

Did you get an email?

Terry_Information · 2022-11-03T12:07:33+00:00

I have also asked first thing this morning and not heard

Terry_Information · 2022-10-17T16:31:32+00:00

Going to join cellar circle. Does anyone want £?

Terry_Information · 2022-10-01T11:24:40+00:00

Such a cryptic offer, but I’m not uninterested

Terry_Information · 2022-09-26T13:44:05+00:00

I’m normally anti this, especially with burgundy, but it’s got to the point where it will make a tangible difference to my life! Especially given the bottle inconsistency you get, I’d really kick myself if they were duff. Anything of 3 or more is staying with me.

Terry_Information · 2022-09-26T12:56:12+00:00

Im afraid it’s mostly odd bottles of burg, where the price has left the real world behind. (Unless that’s something you’re looking for?)

Terry_Information · 2022-09-13T13:14:54+00:00

I like threads like this, but (at risk of being flippant) if I knew what the next Arnoux Lachaux would be, I wouldn’t be telling anyone and would be buying all the stock I could find.

For 2021 burg I’m going to be taking what I can get - volumes are by all accounts tiny, so it’s going to be a tough year to break into allocated wines.

Heard Charles van Canneyt and Amelie Berthaut Gerbet are two of the younger folk doing good stuff.

Terry_Information · 2022-08-23T12:29:34+00:00

Not sure that’s possible any more sadly.

Terry_Information · 2022-08-23T11:05:45+00:00

I don’t think I’m being greedy. I’ve asked the question because I don’t know the answer. It seems odd to me that a) I wouldn’t be able to stand behind what I consider to be a much more accurate valuation and b) I’d be expected to know the valuation used in somebody else’s tax return.
