Use DB2 on a mainframe. Much more reliable :lolol: Can deal with tables with 1bn rows and never needs recovering! Servers are not a patch on the power of a mainframe. The dinosaur lives! :thumbsup: If you ever have to recover data in DB2 it is usually through user error. "Oops I deleted all the...

Defo 20 miles All to do with right-angled triangles and Pythagoras. The quickest way back to where they started from is a diagonal line from where they are. If the left turn is 90 degrees then you have a 3 * 4 * 5 triangle (or in this case 6 * 8 * 10). It is shorter to take the diagonal route...

The boring answer is that after the introduction of Div 4 in 1958 there were 22 Div 1 and 2 teams plus 24 Div 3 and 4 teams. Two teams were relegated from Divs 1 and 2 with four teams relegated from Div 3 as there were two extra teams in the division. The football league was virtually a...

When LBC started up in London many moons ago, Tommy Boyd used to have a Sunday night show called Nightline. Even though it was not easy to pick up down here I used to tume in regularly as it was innovative and easily the best show on radio. Since then I have followed him round the dial as his...

Was that Brian Bromley goal the one he scored after running through from his own penalty area then unleashing an unstoppable shot from about 25 yards out? It's certainly the one I remember best. The pitch was quite heavy so to hit a shot like that after running 2/3 the length of the pitch was...

My 37 inch Panasonic Plasma must have shrunk in the wash then! This is a superb TV, would recommend it. 10,000:1 aspect ratio (the higher the first number the better as it is something to do with the number of different shades from black to white, or so I believe). Got £280 off by buying...

it was "Ferry Ferry Nice" I also remember, in the last couple of seasons, having a guess the Gate competition whilst waiting for the second half. We never got near though as they always seemed to be way out (in our opinion). Sometimes we reckoned they were 2000-3000 short. Now, I wonder what...

Get an electric carving knife - cheating, I know, but so much easier!

Oh, Mr Porter Boys will be Boys

At one throw-in in the second half you could clearly her Thomson shouting "Fozzy's free, Fozzy's free". He clearly wasn't free but then you heard "Fozzy!" whilst he gestured for him to come towrds the ball. Forster moved towards the ball and opened up a huge space on the edge of the penalty...

Possibly, didn't see that one, but we want to win!

Noooooooo!! After the Barnsley fans last night, they commented that every team that had been covered had lost. Don't do it!!!!!!!

Although I have no evidence, I have always assumed that the average age of the people posting on NSC is below or around the average age of the players. Therefore, most were not even born when we played in the cup final and some will be too young to remember the likes of fans reunited, Hereford...

Hammond has been every bit as good this season as he was last - in fact he has probably been even better. The difference is that, for most of this season, the team around him has played a lot better so he has not stood out as much. Also, having O'Callaghan alongside him, he has been able to play...

David Beckham's debut was pretty memorable. He came on in a cup game at the Goldstone. We immediately broke down the wing, crossed and scored! He must have been thinking that would be his first, and last game!! More memorable, though, was Norman Whiteside's debut. This big kid came on as sub...

Thought O'Callaghan was unlucky to get sent off today. Ok, he deserved it for what he did but the ref should have got hold of the game long before that. Every time one of our players made a pass under pressure, the ref was watching the ball and missing all the late tackles(not hard, but late...

Get a plasma. Panasonic TH42PX70 is the bees knees although you might want a sound system as well as the sound is average. The picture quality is superb and it looks fantastic on a wall or a stand.

Was at both games and also set off for Stamford Bridge the week before we played that famous Mullery game. Got to Victoria Station and there was a notice up to say that the game had been called off because of rain. Must have been really p---ing it down that day because I can't remember a single...

I'm not a fan of Butters but I can't say that he doesn't try. The problem with him being on the pitch is that we have to play too deep to compensate for his lack of pace. A lot of goals are scored when other defenders are pulled out of position covering for him. As soon as he went off we pushed...
