Taf if you're interested I've found a way to get the old version back.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pocketcasts/co ... ep_v6_app/

Firstly backup your current subscriptions and create an account with PC and set it to sync your account if you haven't already because you're going to be syncing your account with the old app. Once you've done all that. Uninstall the new version and hit the link above. Click the link that the user AE-83 posted. It'll load the old version into your device. Install it, open, login to PC and sync your account. It should pick up your subscriptions (and possibly redownload your unplayed podcasts but I'm not sure on that last bit so might be worth making a note of those).

Lastly, go to the Google Play store and search PC. Then use the 3 dots in the top right to untick auto update.

People are stupid.

There is someone in another office at work that I haven't met in person but sometimes has to make urgent requests for work from me. He is always polite, apologetic for the demand and extremely grateful when he receives it. As a result, I always make an effort to help him. If he didn't have that attitude, I would make nowhere near the effort to help.

It's quite good, not intrusive or forced to be used but there if you want to add a note either annonymously or with your name.

Receiving thanks is uncomfortable at the best of times, let alone it being permanently fixed up on a board for all to see

All I can hear is bacon and eggs when she sings thank you next in that song.

Cheltenham race week and the thousands of race wankers that descend upon and abuse our town. The majority are strawberry floating animals.

To quote a police officer I was chatting to in A&E yesterday "I dislike the fact that our resources are even further stretched just so as we have to babysit a bunch of drunken yobs"

I agree.

Yep. Having now moved out of Cheltenham after living there for the last 9 years I do not miss gold cup week at all!

I'm sure it brings a lot of money into the town but is it really worth the amount of gooseberry fool that everyone has to put up with? :dread:

I've been invited by a nice chap to go to the cinema in Cheltenham on Friday. Going INTO Cheltenham. On Race Friday

It's getting worse every year and the organisers are looking to extend it another day in the future. My wife works for the council and while the races are not directly her division she has been at the forefront of the sexual harassment awareness campaign this year in regards to race week. As you'll no doubt be aware the amount of horrible gooseberry fool that goes on is quite depressing. She also talks about the huge drain the clean up costs the town each year.

I'm pretty sure the races are mentioned every year in this thread. The racecourse is roughly in between my workplace and house, so with the road closures and extra traffic it's always a nuisance.

Last time I gave a colleague a hand with some extra work, I got beer and cake out of the bargain. I'm perfectly happy with that arrangement.

Badoom-tish. :lol:

Aside from my hilarious and totally original joke, what sort of gooseberry fool goes on? I don't follow horse racing or the circus that surrounds it so I'm ignorant to it.

Vandalism, fighting, theft, pissing and puking in the street, harassment of locals, (often violent), sexual harassment (rape crime goes up) and so on. Try to imagine a really bad Friday night, times it by 10 and then push it across 4-5 days.

There's a real vulgar element to race week and it's gotten worse with every year (I've lived here twenty years). I even feel a tad sorry for the serious race goers as they're effected by it too.

So glad I no longer work in town. That said I had to deal with drunks and a few stabbings in A&E last year. Lovely. :dread:
