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

Is anyone else getting a bit fed-up of us popping over the bridge?
Rankin has proved what a jump it is, if the Player of the Year finds it tough - what chance have the rest got?
Rankin........McSwegan.......Cowie.....(not to mention previous signings).
I'm disappointed - how does that show ambition?
Yogi manages to get players like Stokes and Casper Schmichael - and we raid the tinks!
C'mon Grassa and Charlie - bite the bullet and look further afield - it's getting boring now!
