Especially when Michael McIntyre is on there. What a boring bell-end.

# Off-thread
Since I often have to work instead of hang out on the board, I have made* a Perl script that grabs items that fall off the front page of /board and emails them to me. Anyone interested?

*During work of course

# Can you do one for the /board popular page, or does it require an RSS?

# The logic would be a little different
But basically the same idea I'm sure.

At the moment, it basically says "What is not on the front page now that was last time I checked" then grabs those threads and tweaks the HTML a bit. It doesn't display right in Outlook (including animated gifs) but better than not seeing them.

Note that it doesn't inline the images either so if you're blocked by a proxy or firewall, you're still out of luck. I'm considering that but it's a bit more advanced. Should also be possible to thumbnail the images instead of sending the full thing.

# Oh
I think we have a communication problem here. When you said front page of the board, I thought the FP.

# Oh I dunno...
... 24 minutes of Jo Brand followed by 20 minutes of Russell Howard is my idea of a mirth marathon. Or severe anal trauma caused by a hacked off leg from a grand piano rammed up by a semen breathed mental patient. I always get those two mixed up.
