You're now old and they are middle aged. I'm not sure that was the case when this thread was started ???

I know there's talk of him going straight into the first team for selection but, Bissouma, AliMac, Caicedo, Enciso, Buonanotte (and all the development lads didn't) and a lot did some loans. The only two I remember since Maupay/Webster who were immediately starters were Estupinan and Cucurella...

My memories of late 70's, early 80's holidays is being on a deserted Mediterranean beach, picking up your bamboo mat for the walk back into town (or village) leaving a little pile of Pistachio nut shells behind you. Big part of being on holiday. Huge bags of pistachios for peanuts :wink:

I think the thing I have learned from this is that all those people 'who aren't interested in politics' or believe 'they're all the same' may have a slightly different view as to what is being done in their name if they had a 3 month subscription to Private Eye and actually read it. But the...

Brighton Centre '84 was where I saw him as well (and remember the weird egg box stage). Obviously a complete musical genius, but what blew me away live was how powerful his voice was :thumbsup:

RDZ doesn't allow scrappy goals, does he :lolol:

But when those toys come out they could hurt anyone standing too close :lolol:

A little ginger windmilling in from nowhere getting it all started. He's got to be a shoo-in :lolol:

From that report it would appear there was an Architecture failing with the lack of a 2 phased commit across multiple data sources to handle any issues with connectivity and consequential data corruption. This was quite a common 'backstop' to multiple data source systems at the time. I remember...

Just checked and it was February 2011 I did the Jury service and I'd retired in the September 2010 (so a long time ago and my memory may not be what it was :wink:). I had only just started my new company a few months previous and was only doing a few hours per week. Maybe I wasn't earning as...

And you had no problems with it ? (I'm sure there were many who didn't but it does appear to be luck). And didn't your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth :wink:

After years of being employed, I got called up just over 10 years ago, about 9 months after I had left full time employment (who would have paid me :facepalm:) and retired. I had gone part-time self-employed and it was before I had submitted my first year's accounts. I provided evidence of my...

Was this pre-Horizon ?

Well obviously @dwayne they don't have the sort of resources available to someone like yourself, they are only Premier League Footballers :shrug: Do you remember the dreadful limits you had to live within waaaay back when you were just an excel monkey in a back office :wink:

It's all about perspective They weren't big, you were little :wink:

Bloody carpet baggers probably deserved it. I'm not suggesting that IT has any less cowboys than any other industry and certainly not within Banking :wink:

I have no idea what the architecture of the system was, but I can't see that it is relevant. Whether the unaudited access to the individual post offices data was remote/local/real time/batch makes no difference, the very fact that it was authorised is the problem. If this is being done, it also...

The issues aren't about the architecture of the system or how it was designed or coded, all new systems have bugs and faults, that is entirely normal. The issue is entirely about the management decisions made around the way the system was implemented with regard to timing and risk, supported...

See the answers above. AFAIK there aren't any issues with the architecture of the system. The issues are around the management and decisions made regarding remote unaudited access to the underlying data, the management of the level, prioritisation and fixing of faults, the recognition of these...

As if the state of our roads isn't bad enough, could you imagine a few thousand morons clunking around in snow chains at the first sign of a frost :lolol:
