I have kept to my promise, and I am in the middle of reorganizing last night’s tweets and Qik-based posts into something a little more readable, manageable, and with the media embedded here on the site, rather than readers having to click over to external sites to look at the pictures and videos. I have learnt that some people don’t seem to want to do this, but are happy to check out the media and comment if it is on this blog already. The twitpics are all done (see below), but I’m still working on the videos. Some had to be deleted (accidental 15 second recordings of chairs and my pockets aren’t interesting, I know), all had to be retitled (Qik still has problems using the text I provide with most recordings to set the title for some reason), and I’m attempting to categorize them into two or three posts at most, rather than have them taking up most of the front page here.

Reaching Bandwidth Limit
Looks like people were hard coding links to my BBC News Borat London Premier vid hosted on this site :< , rather than the original post, so I've removed the file, as I'm rapidly approaching the limit for this month (the video is still accessible from the first link though). If people read this message, and then can't access the site, it will return next Wednesday…

Naughty Drivers
Big thanks to ChrisD for sending this link. It features impatient drivers who try to get past the automatic bollards you find in some towns with partially pedestrianised areas. People from Cheltenham will have seen similar accidents around Boots corner.

BBC World Report On the Borat film
This is a little video clip surrounding the London premiere of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
The audio isn’t perfect, as I had to raise the volume a little post-production, sorry. A reminder again, that FireFox users may experience a lack of audio/video synchronisation. Try viewing it in Internet Explorer for now.
Feel free to leave a note by clicking on the comments link below…
EDIT : If you find the first link to the video doesn’t work, please try This one instead. Thanks
EDIT2 : Wow, this page (well the alternative link for the vid) has suddenly eaten nearly all of my hosting bandwidth available for the rest of the month, so for now, it is the first link only. Leave a comment if people find problems with the first link, and I’ll try uploading it to youtube or something.
EDIT3 : Many months later I remembered to upload this to YouTube, so watch it all you like…

West Wing Video Clip
This is Martin Sheen, playing the president of USA, explaining why he wants to make sure their troops have proper coats, before sending them in to repel invasions by Russia and China.
Made me giggle. (It is a tad inaccurate…)
PS If anyone from Text Link Ads reads this, I’ve tried to remove this page from your listings, without much success – I can’t insert the code into this post manually, and your plugin will only go site wide or on the home page. As this post doesn’t have its own template to edit, I can’t add adverts here, and you did not accept my blog as a whole to your program, so I can’t put adverts everywhere…
