Its the most popular combination of numbers played. By a ludicrous margin (in the thousands iirc) 10,000 odd at last count meaning win 5 million and pick up five hundred quid, what a pisser that would be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted January 26, 2021 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2021 Quote Adobe Flash Shutdown Halts Chinese Railroad for Over 16 Hours Before Pirated Copy Restores Ops According to a report by Apple Daily, the problem reared its head for China Railway Shenyang in Dalian, Liaoning just after 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 12. Per an event timeline outlined by Github, the head of a switching station reported being unable to access the railroad's timetables, which they normally did through a browser-based Flash interface. Over the next half hour, reports of similar failures poured in from across the network, with as many as 30 stations implicated according to a CR Shenyang statement reported by a Chinese blog. Only after technicians went online to research bug fixes did officials learn of the global Flash shutdown, news of which seemingly didn't penetrate the insular Chinese internet. A translation of the Github timeline suggests restoring software backups temporarily restored service around noon, though outages returned again at around 2:00 p.m., and later on in the evening. CR Shenyang's response team then reportedly began exploring a reversion to older software systems, its options apparently consisting of an unspecified Microsoft-based setup, or an archived, pirated version of Flash without the "time bomb" code. Technicians settled on the latter, and around 1:00 a.m. on the 13th, CR Shenyang successfully brought one of its stations fully online. By 2:30 a.m., all but one route was back in service and the railroad's Y2K21 nightmare behind it The Drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 New year new possibilities Quote The camel man is suspected of the chainsaw threat in Kungsbacka The man with the chainsaw, who thundered into a bar in central Kungsbacka on Monday night, is the same man who has previously been suspected of having attacked hotel staff while riding a camel in Turkey. At 7.30 pm on Monday evening, a man rushed into a bar at Norra Torget with a chainsaw in full swing in his hands. The guests fled out the back door and the man with the chainsaw then disappeared from the scene. People on site had been able to point out a probable perpetrator and during the night a man in his 40s was arrested in Kungsbacka. After a brief interrogation, the man was arrested by prosecutors on duty. Initially, the heading was an illegal threat to a group, but after questioning, the suspicion has been strengthened to a serious crime. District Attorney Sonja Seligmann says that at present there is nothing to indicate that the man's actions with the chainsaw were directed at the bar where the man rushed in or at any specific person there. Kungsbacka-Posten can state that the now suspected chainsaw man is the same man - who was riding a camel with a blood alcohol content of 3.55 in his blood - harassed staff and guests inside a hotel in Turkey last summer. https://kungsbackaposten.se/nyheter/kamelmannen-misstankts-for-motorsagshotet-i-kungsbacka/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Good story out of Bravislava https://www.cas.sk/clanok/1080256/absurdny-pripad-na-pumpe-v-bratislave-lupica-zdrzala-zena-odpadnete-co-urobila/?fbclid=IwAR1r4Gky64l_2BJ9rMAne5ywJywo5Z9Idhu63SP-qaW0f3O23l8W6H5U9ac Original in Slovak, translated here: Quote A truly bizarre case took place at a pump in Petržalka, Bratislava. Only a 24-year-old man broke into the gas station on Wednesday morning at 4.00 am. "Under the threat of using violence, he demanded the employee to issue cash. The man then attacked the employee and attacked him with blows to the face. The men of the law found out on the spot that the robber was inside the pump. However, a young woman provided sexual services to a man in one of the rooms! According to TV, JOJ began to satisfy the thief orally until the cops arrived. She wanted to help detain the perpetrator. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2021 The southern shandy drinkers will like this one. Quote A pet ferret has made a "miraculous" recovery after accidentally spending a full cycle in a washing machine. Bandit was given a 1% chance of survival by vets after going through a 100-minute wash when he sneaked into his owners' machine in Leeds. The two-year-old ferret suffered a collapsed lung and bruising in the incident. Veterinary surgeon David Massey said Bandit was in a "pretty bad way when he came in". "The team here got to work quickly to try and save his life," said Mr Massey. "His owners' quick-thinking upon realising the situation also helped ensure we could prevent a tragedy. "Amazingly, within four hours of being admitted he took a few gentle steps, which is when we started to become confident that he would make a good, and miraculous, recovery." Bandit's owner Jackie Redfern said she feared the worst before a call from Vets4Pets in Colton, Leeds, confirmed Bandit was responding positively to treatment. "His brother, Mikey, had been quiet for two days," said Ms Redfern. "But, as soon as Bandit was back, he immediately perked up and seemed to want to take care of his sibling and was constantly by his side." Mr Massey warned pet owners to be careful and check their washing machines before using them. He said: "While this situation is thankfully extremely rare, washing machines and tumble dryers can often be a place our furry friends can seek out, particularly during colder weather when they might be looking for a cosy place to curl up."
