    Unknown database error

    Hi Jeff. I'm sure you're probably aware and have fixed it, but in case it resolved itself, I couldn't access the site this morning. It gave a non-descriptive message of something like the post title.

    Manchester United match on screen

    Been told that the club will be screening the Man Utd match on big screens in the ground and will allow drinking in seats. Can't find anything concrete anywhere but somebody who does ground stewarding has been asked to work.

    Cheap Android phones

    Does anyone know where I can bulk buy cheap android phones? I'm looking for roughly 6-7" screens and be able to run Google cardboard. These will be used in school to run Google Expeditions once it's released. I'm not above importing. Probably looking to buy 15 units within the next 6-12 months...

    Google Expeditions

    Had a trial of this at school yesterday. It's basically an extension of Google Cardboard but is absolutely brilliant, especially for education. Just putting it out there for anyone else interested.

    Official Attendance

    Couldn't think where else to put it but this article about Newcastle states that their official attendance included season ticket holders who may not have attended. I know it's been discussed a lot here how ours works but I believe the club have always maintained it's people through the gates...

    Referees

    I know it seems like sour grapes when we lose, but I've made it clear that I thought the ref yesterday was awful. I've also been less than impressed with most I've seen this season both at our games and on TV. Once again today, there have been game changing decisions that should have been simple...

    I mainly view this forum on my mobile and if I click the thread title to go to the newest post it doesn't go there if it is a hidden post, for instance one of Cafe's. Any ideas?

    Set Pieces

    I agree that we are rubbish at delivering set pieces; however, there is a general feeling that we are terrible at defending them as well. I can't remember too many goals that we've conceded from them, can anyone knock up a list? There were comments about how West Ham were going to undo us with...

    The lure of the Premier League

    I've been pondering this for a while (even before the slump in form) and I can't work out how I feel. The premier league seems to be the be all and end all of football, even to fans on here who would make jokes about football only beginning in 1990. At the minute we are showing relegation form...

    Windows 7 mouse issue

    I've never seen this before, I'm hoping one of you guys has. My colleague has a Windows 7 desktop. Every now and again it almost freezes. The cursor still moves around fine and I can double click to open things from the desktop and shortcuts at the bottom. However, once they are open, I can't...

    Paying off season ticket

    I have my season ticket on direct debit at the minute but had a bit of money for my birthday. I'd like to use it to pay of some of the outstanding balance; do they allow this? If I do, will they reduce the monthly payment or just reduce the number of months for which I need to pay?

    Van Rental

    Anyone used these guys before? http://www.leicestershire-van-rental.co.uk/contact-us.php Quoting £60 a day for a Luton, seems a lot cheaper than elsewhere so wondered if it was too good to be true.

    Game of Thrones

    Anybody here a reader of the series? I've just finished reading book 5 and I'll be honest, it's missed me off how it's been left. The tv version is bloody excellent though.

    I have a calendar in my Google calendar that is shared with my wife via her gmail email address. At the minute, when she adds an event, I get an SMS message but when I add one, she doesn't. Is there any way to add her to get SMS messages for this calendar only?

    First, apologies for the title, I couldn't think of a better one. On our server at school we have a list of folders for each class, Class 1, Class 2 etc and within those I wanted one for each child. I have written a small batch script that cycles through all of the text files in the batch...

    I want to fit a simple external electrical socket to my house and have been told by a family friend that I need to get a Part P electrician to do the work. I had a look around and apparently I can do it myself if I pay the council nearly £500 to come and assess it afterwards! That seems...

    123-reg any good for hosting?

    In the interest of my recent hosting woes, and ongoing issues with moving domains on the same data center, I have been advised by a genuinely helpful support chap to use 123-reg for hosting. I have used them for years for domain reg with no issues, are they as reliable for hosting?

    Speculation Futacs to Blackpool loan

    Won't let me post the link on my phone but Sky Sports have this as a story. No doubt some will cry about this, especially if he scored. a couple for them, but IMO it's no loss to us and could get him fit or ready to show any potential he has.
