The greatest Countdown clip of all time.

It’s almost too good to be true.

You actually couldn’t have scripted it any better. Poor Anne. 😬😭

It’s 29 years since this mass bundle between Chesterfield and Plymouth at Saltergate.

The sort of thing that nobody (absolutely fucking everybody) likes to see…

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Roger Federer broke the internet with one statistic that will change how you see every setback in your life.
1,526 singles matches.
Won almost 80% of them.
20 Grand Slams. 103 titles.

Now answer honestly:
What percentage of total points do you think he won across his entire career?
70%? 65%? 60%?

Try … 54%.
He lost literally almost EVERY SECOND POINT he ever played for 24 years.

And still became one of the greatest of all time.

Watch him explain it himself (2:07 of pure life-changing wisdom):
“In tennis, perfection is impossible… When you lose every second point on average, you teach yourself to say:
‘Okay, I double-faulted — it’s only one point.’
‘Okay I got passed at the net — it’s only one point.’
Even a screaming overhead smash that ends up on SportsCenter Top 10… still just one point.

So when you’re playing your point, it has to be the most important thing in the world.
The moment it’s over — it’s behind you.

That mindset frees you to attack the next point, and the next, and the next with absolute intensity and clarity.”

Then he looked at the crowd and said the line that hit a billion people in the soul:
“The real sign of a champion is not that they win every point.
It’s that they lose again and again and again… and have learned how to deal with it.
Negative energy is wasted energy.
Cry it out if you have to. Then force a smile.
Move on. Be relentless. Adapt. Grow.
Work harder — and work smarter.”

Save this post.

The next time you lose a deal, bomb a presentation, get ghosted, miss a deadline, or just have “one of those days” — come back here and read it again.

You’re not falling behind.
You’re just in the 46%.
And the 46% is exactly where every single legend has spent most of their career.

Keep playing the next point.

46 years ago today, Taxi gave us one of the best scenes in sitcom history.

"What Does The Yellow Light Mean?"

@TheRealMarilu is actually stabbing herself with a pencil to stifle herself from laughing.

[Stu’s Football Flashbacks @stusfootyflash]

Today marks 33 years since Chesterfield held Liverpool to a remarkable 4-4 draw in the League Cup second round.

Only 12k fans saw the likes of David James and Mark Wright make comical errors against the third division side.

Strange days at Anfield.

[Iraq Business Journal @IraqBizJournal]

If this does happen a record number of business will fold and no one will bother with starting up a new company anymore

Rachel Reeves plots raid on small businesses with £2billion VAT hike in autumn Budget - as threshold set to be lowered by TWO-THIRDS

[Steve Miller @StevenJonMiller]

❗️The ‘KILLING’

The Government are considering reducing the V.A.T threshold for business to £30K per annum.

This will kill small businesses, increase unemployment and wreck the economy further.

Labour are not on your side.

A cabinet of C*nts.

Johnny Cash's grandson, Thomas Gabriel, sounds and looks just like his grandfather.

Well, I find this quite interesting.

@blinkudie That’s gotta be Andy Pinto on the front in the middle
And Al Brearley aka Barney Rubble next to him

[Dave Cartawick @unit1bkka]

@Keir_Starmer How?
When?

[Dave Cartawick @unit1bkka]

@PaulEmbery About time

[The Belfast Magpie @TheIrishMagpie]

Harry Maguire picks up a yellow card which rules him out of Manchester United's next European game.

Thankfully for him, he'll be in his late 60s by then.

@Keir_Starmer I think everyone deserves better than you and your inept crew

[Dave Cartawick @unit1bkka]

@PaulEmbery Unfortunately they really don’t get it

[Dave Cartawick @unit1bkka]

@Keir_Starmer Very few people actually trust this government to get anything right.
