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

Wonder when FOW will premiere his ICT version ?
Welsh international goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams has completed a painting of the Wales team at Euro 2016.
Williams, who plays for Scottish Premiership side Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC, was with the team for this summer's tournament in France.
His canvas portrays the team's celebrations at winning a historic appearance in the semi finals.
Williams' other artwork has been inspired by the landscape and culture of Dyffryn Nantlle, where he grew up.
It includes paintings of slate quarries near where he lived in north west Wales.
Since moving to Inverness, he has also created paintings of Highland cattle.
Williams spent five months planning and painting the Euro 2016 canvas called Together Stronger.
