Rish’s latest words

On a subject very close to his heart

That will do. 4-4-2. Our Jack sorting us out. I only listened on the interweb – although there was a worrying start to the second half with the team seemingly adversely affected by the fans’ response to a long ball – our Jack won us a penalty (that’s what you get for running like a [...]

Megson Stays

Normally I will defend the manager and look for the positives. But not today. However, after listening to him on the radio I [...]

More Rails

So far I’ve got a basic skeleton (scaffolding) built around a simple database schema. In about thirty minutes elapsed time. Nice.
