..this isn't a BG plea for technical assistance. This is a bit off-beat for NSC but I know there are a few software bods out there so someone may be able to help. Trying to source someone is certainly taking my mind off Derby I'm writing an article about software teams who have looked to move...

The debate about possible delayed kick-off today has prompted me to think about the final day. What happens if Burnley get 'stuck in traffic' on the way to Charlton so the kick-off is delayed by 30 minutes? (as happened to Man U recently). It would certainly be tempting to set off late for the...

Creator of The Larry Sanders Show, one of the funniest sitcoms I've ever seen. Used to stay up till 12.30 midweek just to watch it. Cruyff and Shandling on the same day, that's some double header

This has nothing to do with our promotion chances but it's an interesting idea: a world where raw food is free but there's a premium for cooked grub. Read it here I like people who look into the future and try to predict what's coming, driverless cars would have been science fiction just 20...

Many of us were surprised that Cliff Michelmore had died believing that he'd shuffled off this mortal coil some years ago. Who else from an older generation is, happily, still with us? There are reasonably well known oldies around, like Kirk Douglas and Olivia De Havilland but anyone else...

I'm having an interesting FB conversation about PL managers we've seen play (live not on TV). I know I've seen four but am trying to work out whether Howe, Neil and McClaren played against Brighton. I'm sure Howe must have done and I've seen him but don't know for certain. I'm sure some Stattos...

Yet another old boy joins the team - Yards is going to be in charge of the U17s Still no batting coach - one for Prior? That's four ex-players on the coaching team plus Cottey in promotions. Is Neil Lenham still there?

Jefferson Airplane founder Paul Kantner dies at 74 (not the dreaded 69 then). Loved JA as teenager - had all their early albums. They were consummate musicians though, by all accounts, Grace Slick and Kantner, were not exactly easy to work with Going to give After Bathing at Baxter's (my...

BG will be disappointed but he's been snapped up http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-35428976 Back to Jlloyd Samuel then

I see that the government is to introduce a levy on skilled migrants from outside the EU. Football clubs will have no problem about paying this - a £1000 is going to be nothing to them.That attitude may change if the chancellor decides that the levy becomes a percentage of that migrant's...

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned as it's a few days old now but Sussex have signed Ross Taylor as their overseas player for next year (or part of the season at least). Goff's English registration hasn't gone through yet but it must be close He's a decent batsman and should score a lot of...

Here's Wham as you've never heard them before. Last Christmas slowed down and re-imagined as a 36-minute ambient track. Still make you feeling like punching Andrew Ridgeley though :)

This article on football investment is a couple of days old and I'm a bit surprised it's not been posted. It's an interesting read in its own right but this bit really caught my eye. "In the summer, for instance, Omar Chaudhuri – the head of football intelligence for 21st Club, which does...

Leeds supporters in South Stand being charged £5 extra to be redeemed against hot meal. Don't tell Barber

I was in Japan a few weeks ago and forgot to tell my bank. When I tried to get money out at Tokyo airport, my account was blocked, and I couldn't get any cash for the train into town. Fortunately, I'd been sitting next to someone going to the same hotel and he paid my £3 fare for me. I looked to...

Fun and games in Nagpur: 25 wickets have fallen before tea on the second day. That looks like an even contest between bat and ball However, SA have definitely had the worst of this series and, Amla and ABDV aside, don't have much in the way of batting. With Steyn and Philander crocked, England...
