Just a bit of fun / curiosity but can anyone identify what this pin is / is for ? We've found a couple in our office and no one seems to know what they're for.

Well their email said "If you do not order devices by 5pm on Tuesday 1 March, we will remove your allocation. This means you will no longer be able to order devices and we will offer them to other organisations that need them." So maybe March 1st unles you are an 'other organisation' (no idea how you determine that)

I'll chip in my request for feedback here. We're looking at moving finance systems due to our dissatisfaction with Sage and Hoge is the front runner. Looks good and a reference trust we visited loved it, but I'd be grateful for more views.

I've just got an email from the DfE saying we have to order our trust allocation by 1st March and that iPads will no longer be available.

Cracking joke

Is she a sole singer ?

We have some very nice B Roads, they can take you to lots of places you won't pronounce correctly.

We shouldn't be laughing about this, it's no djok

Same deal with Finland being on the Scandinavian peninsula but isn't part of Scandinavia.

Ah, under the general Windows forum, I was looking in the server forums.

Don't know if anyone has seen this but it seems that the patches cause DCs to go into a reboot loop and Hyper-V to fail to start. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-server-updates-cause-dc-boot-loops-break-hyper-v/

I just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. I used these for our virtual Christmas crackers, we had a bowl with paper hats and small wrapped presents, you put a hat on, shout 'bang !', open a present then I tell a terrible joke. Biggest groan - the bat flattery. Best joke - tale of two cities. My personal favourite - deaf sheepdogs.

It has the added advantage of being both a Dad joke AND a Geek joke at the same time.

Finally the Great Flood recedes and the Ark makes landfall. Noah lowers the ramp and says to the animals "Go forth and multiply !" A little later he is strolling through the woods and there is much rustling in bushes etc. He comes across a clearing, there he finds two snakes. They have got a lot of carpentry tools and have cut down some trees and are making some furniture. He looks at them in surprise and says "Did you not hear me ? I said go forth and multiply" And one of the snakes says "Yes, but we are adders, so we're making log tables'

Well it was a cracker, but I was very glad to be accompanied by an experienced colleague. Had a rain delay at the start and had to talk them down from a 50 over game to 45, which turned out to be wise as it went pretty much the full distance and the light was fading fast. Thetford set a really challenging target and Bradfield proved themselves to be worthy champions by chasing it down in the last over. Really enjoyed umpiring it. Quite a lot of high pressure appealing but no serious misbehaviour. A great game to decide the division winner and I was really honoured to get to umpire probably the most significant single game played in Norfolk on Saturday. Can't wait for next season.

Well barring the inability to get Steve Smith out the bowling attack has been good for a long while, but the batting has not been solid since Strauss and Trott retired. Can't remember the last time we had a century opening partnership (which given my memory means it was probably three tests ago or something).

I agree. It's good to attract new people, but not at the expense of the existing people. They've sacrificed too much at the altar of money recently. On a different note, I'm off to Bradfield in Norfolk on Saturday for the final game of the season to umpire the exciting winner takes all, top of the table clash between Bradfield and Thetford in Division One of the Norfolk Alliance cricket league. https://norfolkca.play-cricket.com/website/division/94783 Hopefully everyone is well behaved and it's a good game !

I suspect you're not target market ;-) Of course one issue they may be overlooking is that the kids don't have money, it's the grumpy old people who do and you don't want to push them away either.

I have a theory about the Hundred that seems to me, and to most I have mentioned it to, to be a plausible reason for it's existence, but one the ECB probably won't admit to. Basically over the last 10-15 years cricket has become better run and better financed than ever, but yet has also been declining in terms of player numbers, especially younger players. Hopefully the ECB have finally woken up to why this is - the contract with Sky. By shutting off cricket from terrestrial TV they have massively reduced the exposure to the game that children get these days. So finally they have realised they need to get some cricket out to a wider audience, but how ? All existing cricket is tied up in long term contracts with Sky, so they were forced to invent a new form of cricket in order to get it back onto terrestrial TV. That's my theory, fits the facts pretty well I think and actually makes a little bit of sense of a situation that is otherwise pretty nonsensical.
