Fuller's Golden Pride is legendarily supposed to be at its best 2 years after the best before date... 2017 Vintage Ale is out now as well.
Speaking of aged beers, I will probably be finishing my last bottle of Thomas Hardy's Ale this Christmas; has anyone seen the new (Italian) THA for sale anywhere in the wild? Last I checked their website was spectacularly opaque about how to actually get hold of any.

Westvleteren is tasty but not IMO any more so than other Trappists; the cult status seems to be a scarcity thing. Though I was pleased when my dad the vicar came back from a retreat he'd had at 'some Belgian monastery, where they brewed their own beer' (apparently it's served at mealtimes!), and he'd brought back a case - was I interested in any of this Westvleteren stuff?

I like their banana bread beer, but I hold an irrational grudge against Wells for the closing of Young's;* I had many a happy pint in the brewery tap of the Ram Brewery when I was an engineering student, as for one year we were using temporary workshops just round the corner. #csb
* because the blame was mostly down to the Young's shareholders.

What are to your mind the major technical disadvantages? People seem to go back and forth on this, and AFAICS if well maintained and set up threaded/threadless are much of a muchness; the reason threadless is more common these days is simply because it's cheaper for builders to keep one size of forks in stock. I've seen it suggested that if you don't need mega-stiffness (and outside racers, most of us don't), a quill setup may be preferable as an all-weather bike, because without a steerer tube for water to trickle down the bearings can be better sealed.

Ordering said bolt from Germany at a discount of course frees up the necessary cash for the tool #LFGSSmaths

I've done this before, but can't remember how I sorted it - I know I managed to work it out myself. Isn't there a shipping label link or pdf attachment in the confirmation email they send you?
Edit: I checked and mine was a Royal Mail return; they sent a separate confirmation email, which had a printable label attached, about half an hour after the Rapha one. Maybe check your spam folder?
The processes by which 'normal' oils are extracted (high-speed presses or in some cases IIRC solvents) use high temperatures which can destroy some of the nutrient content (Omega oils &c.); cold-pressed oils have more of these nutrients. They also usually have a stronger/more complex taste, which may make them better for dressings, salads, etc.
