@carlafrancome Happened to me with a white tee-shirt at a tech conference. Thankfully, there were a lot of stalls with badges, so half an hour later, my tee-shirt had some badges in strategic places 😂

THIS JUST IN: Car ban begins in the center of #Paris. Starting on Monday, Nov. 4, 2024: no through-traffic will be allowed in four central arrondissements on the Right Bank. (Home to the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and the Marais). This is a big deal. urbanaccessregulations.eu/countries-main…

@SEGVeenstra @KhalidWarsa Same when I go on our trampoline. I can follow her moves... I feel great... Then I go to sleep thinking I am 28... I wake up feeling 68 🤣

@SEGVeenstra @KhalidWarsa Yep, I know the feeling all too well! 😂 My daughter loves to dance. Sometimes, she gets me to do dance routines in the living room. I do my best to follow her moves, I lift her, and so on... Then, the day after, my 48 yr old body is like "nope, you're not moving today" 🤣

I pretty much have similar thoughts about it! Food is way too expensive and, frankly, not very good. Pushing people to use the app is bad for enjoying the experience as a family. I say this as an app developer - I love tech but it has its place, and in that setting, it spoils the connection between parents and children, as parents are glued to their phone trying to figure out where to go next. Queues are long, they want people to buy some upgrade to skip the queues, but tickets are already expensive as they are. In addition, I also think they should provide their own free bus shuttle to Windsor. The buses get packed, the timetables are pretty bad, so it's putting a lot of people off. I met several people who said they didn't mind getting the train to Windsor but seeing the bus connection from there to Legoland put them off so they opted for driving. If they can reduce their car park usage by just 10% by shifting those people to public transport, then they could build more things and make more money, so it would make business sense for them to encourage visitors to use public transport to get there. I think they are really shortsighted, from a business point of view, not to do it.

It's interesting how we design holiday places with cars out of the way, but we seem incapable of doing that for where we actually live.

GUYS! So last night we stayed at the Woodland village next to Legoland. The huts were cute, as were the Lego figures. But the REAL magic was that there were footpaths all the way through, and NO CARS! It completely transformed the atmosphere to being in a normal town. 🧵1/7

Nearly every stop, an impenetrable 5 min description of all the tickets you may not use on this service, punctured by these mean spirited, aggressive ads. Also, the one loo doesn't work. When did someone decide to make trains an exercise in moral punishment.

Germany: here's a Deutschland Ticket, you can use any train except for the ICE. Enjoy it. UK: Oh under normal circumstances yes this ticket would be valid BUT today is the first sunny Wednesday since two week after St Swithen's day. Prison for you, and we're killing your dog.

@SebastianRoehl @RevenueCat Make sure you don't spend the next month obsessively refreshing the app every 5 minutes instead of working on your own new app 😉

Attention all maths and train geeks, this one is for you! This video shows the graph process to work out train timetables, invented in 1847 by Charles Ibry, a French railway engineer, and still used today! And, to boot, this graph was first used on the Paris-Le Havre train line, which is the line my hometown Rouen is on. Special kudos to @FryRsquared for making up station names between Rouen and Paris, I had a good laugh😂🤣 youtube.com/watch?v=NFLb1I…

When a hurricane is coming, millions hit the road in cars. The result? Total gridlock. 🚗🚙🚗 People stuck for hours, barely moving, and sometimes unable to even get out of town.
