Has there ever been a better month for television than this one? I know that's a bold statement but I'm struggling to think of a time when there were so many top quality programmes on at once. This was prompted by the thread on Unforgotten, which is one of the best British cop dramas I've seen...

Sussex's Sarah Taylor is set to be the first woman to play in Australia's A grade cricket competition when she plays for Northern Districts this weekend. Surprised not to see a mention of this, it's one hell of a breakthrough. I remember that Sussex registered her as a player for the men's team...

I have a problem with my son's laptop. His keyboard isn't working at all (he discovered the Uninstall Software facility last week and I think he deleted a file he shouldn't have ... but naturally he can't remember what he did). When I say 'not working', I mean that none of the keys, including...

Was going to post this in the Catering Tonight thread but thought it was so interesting, it was worthy of a thread of its own. This is an extract from Robert Scoble and Shel Israel's book The Age of Context (which BTW is well worth reading, some fascinating insights). And apologies for the...

We're going away for a few days and my sister, who normally looks after our dog, can't take her. There are lots of dog kennels in the area but I want to find one that's got a good reputation but there's very little to go on - no Trip Advisor for dogs. Any NSCers recommend some places that...

Any PS whizzkids out there who can help? I have a set of templates (which have been pre-sized and contain a logo) and a set of photos. I'm supposed to download the photos onto the template, size them to fit and save them. The trouble is, when I download the pix, they go to a separate tab...

Mike Yardy retiring from all forms of cricket at the end of the season. Sad but it's looked a season too far for him - he's been a great servant for the club though. That means we have no players left now from the team that won the Championship that very first time

I know nothing about basketball but this was an interesting read. The article doesn't go into much detail about the sport itself - we're left wondering what the hell "smart smart ball" means - but you can see elements of what Barber's trying to do. He's obviously been very influenced by his...

This is a neat site that tells you how safe your job is or whether you'll need a new career in 20 years time. I'm all right - there's only five percent chance of my job going to a robot but it's not good for taxi drivers, accountants and telemarketers

I may be suffering from a terrible brain fade; my memory damaged by the awful season but did we see an opposition player sent off at the Amex this season. I've been trying to think of one but have no recollection of it. I can't recall of any opposition player sent off against us away either ...

The Telegraph sends reporter to cover Klopp's farewell presser ... even though he doesn't speak a word of German. The resulting coverage is pretty funny. You do wonder what the Telegraph is playing at though - do they really think the whole world speaks English? It wouldn't happen in Ger .... oh

Warning: contains Daily Mail Is that the kiss of death?

Amazed there's been no thread on this NZ through to the WC final off penultimate ball with Steyn hit for six Absolutely brilliant game (and NZ were my tip to win before the start of the competition)

I know there are a lot of accountants on NSC; are you any of you free for a 10 - 15 minute chat for an article I'm writing? What I'm looking for is someone who can comment on how cloud-delivered software (Kashflow, Xero, QuickBooks etc) has transformed the way accountants operate. What do these...

Our T20 specialist, that's going to make Arundel on the 18 June , with Sanga and all, especially tasty

Anyone know anywhere reliable to do this? Rung up a couple of places but, as seems to be the case with most places these days, they haven't rung back I have an hour long tape to be converted by next week

AB de Villiers hits 162 off just 66 balls as SA score just under a 100 in last five overs (compare that to England who scored just over a hundred in the entire innings against NZ). There have been some fantastic innings in this WC ... except from England, who seem to be playing a different game...

My son wants an XBox Live Gold account so he can have new games delivered every month. A quick search of the website reveals that these could be any games, including those with an 18 limit. I can find no indication as to whether you can set preferences so inappropriate games aren't made...

Surprised this hasn't been posted already http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/feb/22/brentford-mathematical-modelling-denmark I think it's a fascinating approach and show what happens when you get a mathematical whizz-kid with a love of gambling as a chairman. I wonder which other...

Couldn't see a thread on him but thought he was excellent - best ref this season (and not just because we won). Kept the game flowing, played good advantage (particularly when he booked their fella well after the foul), didn't flourish cards left, right and centre and got pretty much all...
