That one is implanted in my brain! I can see it perfectly without having to look it up.
Middle of May, 1978. I had just finished my final exams, in computer science, at university.
Scheduling hours and hours of exams for thousands of students within two or three weeks - with a variety of halls and rooms to juggle, class sizes from single figures to well into three figures, and of course some people taking peculiar combinations of subjects - is no trivial task. In fact it was done by a neat program developed by a member of the computer science department.
The best bit about that was that he "fixed" the program so that the computer science exams ended first of all in the university - i.e. they were over before anyone else's. And the reason for this was to allow us to enjoy the Home Internationals, without exams getting in the way.
And what did we get? Willie bloody Donachie

I read a bit of trivia the other day that there are only 3 players who have scored against all 12 of the teams currently in the Premiership.
Apparently Billy Mackay has 10 of the set, and I hope he makes it to 11 but not 12, if you see what I mean.
