This is mildly interesting but wanted to post it somewhere - think it would probably be removed from r/mildlyinteresting though. I had an email about a sale of rail tickets with a countdown - I wondered how the countdown worked so looked at the source They load a 32 second gif that looks like it is counting down but just loops for the next half minute. I tried to do one for Christmas but it maxes out at 99 days: https://img1.niftyimages.com/mn9h/d-4p/1gyl?dt=25/12/2026%2000:00:00&format=dd/MM/yyyy

Would be interested to hear other people's opinions but right now I'm having good results:

• Mid ticket price and season ticket discount - fans are satisfied
• No win bonus - players complain at first but still perform
• Following the £80m offer is automatic sale rule
• Not afraid to say no to new players unless we're desperate to fill that position.
• Promote all 95+ youth players, reject others
• Manager (98-99-98) is on a long contract although he's in his late 60s now and the previous manager was also doing well on a long contract but started to deteriorate in his early 70s so I'm going to let this contract run down.

I played the first version of the game a while back and have come to

I suppose they don't feel comfortable showing people how to make a bomb with a box of cigars, but it is pretty key to the plot. As an aside, I thought I'd watch it as I haven't seen it that many times... but it is a pretty bad episode tbh.

Now I'm wondering what else gets cut out.

Anyone else nearby? Let me know if you're going: https://bradford2025.co.uk/event/the-archers-podcast-recording/

I thought it would be nice to share this story on the playhouse crowdfunder - I've been there a few times and it's great to have such a vibrant theatre scene in Bradford so want to encourage people to support the crowdfunder.

!I was thinking about how Fallon didn't tell Vince why Harrison couldn't be the cricket captain anymore... Is he going to crack down on gangs or something? Wouldn't be slave trade gangs would it Vince?!<

Flet looks great, I've worked through the examples and it is so simple. However, it isn't clearly scalable. For example, the PubSub functionality doesn't look to scale above a single instance, right? I don't want to write code that can't scale horizontally so perhaps I should look to another technology, or have I just misinterpreted the documentation?

I've only just got the link between Jazza mentioning all the MAMILs (Middle-Aged Men In Lycra) and that John is a MAMIL. I'm not quite sure where his cycling comes in the grand scheme of things, and where the storyline about cyclists coming through the village will lead to. Thoughts?

I love having a wallchart - it's fun to fill in and keeps the kids interested. Anyone got one yet? Where did you get it from and do you recommend it?

I don't really want to download one, and although I see the Sun is giving one away this weekend - I don't want to buy the Sun either.

As an aside... Anyone remember the excel wall charts that used to do the rounds? They were well put together but I have enough digital in my life already and want something physical.
