#TENNER

The new £10 note went into circulation. It is made of plastic and features Jane Austen. It contains several new security measures and raised dots in one corner to help the blind and partially sighted. @stevethecatnut tweeted: “The new ten pound note had a launch event. Why?! Do they think some people might not use them? Go on, try the tenner! It’s the new craze!” @haveigotnews said: “New £10 note enters circulation with added security feature; being virtually worthless overseas.” @superpidge posted: “I don’t know how I feel about it but I know the new £10 note wouldn’t get you the popcorn and drink you want at the cinema #newtenpoundnote” @rahuljassii observed: “I think aesthetically the new £10 note is one of the top 5 notes of the last 30 years.”

#BBCCHEESECAKE

A stolen New York cheesecake in the BBC’S London newsroom led to a disgruntled employee leaving a stern note which was followed by two more notes as a second cheesecake was stolen. @Toothy73 said: “I love the attention to detail; clarifying it was a New York cheesecake... just in case another variety had been stolen!” @drtory stated: “I am convinced that people who steal food from fridges at work are sociopaths... or very hungry... or very hungry sociopaths.” @terrystiastny enthused: “Hoping this ends in massive newsroom cheesecake showdown a la Bugsy Malone.”

#GREYHOUND

Clonbrien Hero, winner of one of the biggest events in Ireland’s racing calendar, has tested positive for cocaine. @marktighest shared: “Trainer of champion greyhound that tested positive for cocaine tells @ thetimesie the dog could’ve got it from hands of ppl patting its head.” @jimmymac100 joked: “A greyhound testing positive for cocaine!!?? What ever happened to dropping a sausage into the favourite’s stall just before the start?” @Fegan_4 noted: “What a dog does in its spare time is its own business.” @Boxmarks posted: “Wonder how many times a dog ate this trainer’s homework.”
