In case you were unaware, on 31st December this year, one of the day’s 86400 minutes will contain 61 seconds (it doesn't actually matter which one because, unlike months, minutes don't have names).

It may not sound important but it could well be the extra second that stops you missing the bus.



Yeah OK.

I predict computers will struggle to compute this and the world will end.

Remember that South American keeper who retired before the millennium as he was convinced of an impending apocalypse?

Planes are going to drop from the sky, all the worlds banking systems will crash etc

Ruined my New Year's Eve at the Millenium that (until I got pissed after the world didn't end)

Can we have a sweepstake on which minute it will be?

It will be one when I am on nights and the bloody government will swindle me out of a seconds pay.

If they add it on on the end, then Big Ben will be wrong for the countdown to New Year, which may knack first footers and everyone elses New Year Celebrations. A New Year started badly - Bad Omen. What is the government doing about this? Would this have happened without Brexit? Will there be a Full Moon?
