Walsingham

Using Firefox. And thanks for the offer, but I'm going to go with still images. No video is better than the usual setup where the presentation becomes a farce because the video doesn't work properly.

I agree it would be adness to deny that Imperialism didn't have a crucial role in African history. However, far too many African leaders use it as an excuse for their ruthless greed.

I do hope you're not one of these people, like Miriam Makeba, who maintain Africa was pure goodness and love until the White Devils came.

Did I forget to mention I'm an idiot? Sorry. Thought it was obvious.

No. You've hit the crux of the matter. I only want a quick five seconds. It's the short bit where Capt. Blackadder tries to explain to Baldrick why the war started. Actually, forget the rush. I've timed the clip and it's too long. I'd have to do clever editing to make it zip properly at the speed for the presentation. I'm going to use a still photo. But I'd still like to know how to do this for future reference.

It may be a bit much to credit Ol' Bob with corrupting African politics. It'sa complex issue with many arguments but I subscribe to the rather simplistic view that most African nations could use one more revolution to clean off the leeches!

Oh, purely for the sake of showing off, I forgot to mention that I ran it in 9 minutes, rested for two, then ran it again in 9:30! Of course, some would say this just proves I should have been trying harder the first time!

I agree. Those were the days. It even used to apply to space sims. Space sims, tank sims, sub sims, destroyer sims. Them was the days. Now the only sims we get are those silly sim sims. Who they hell would rather place house then hunt a U boat in the North Atlantic. Domestic weirdos, that's who. DOuble boo. Very good point. "I know. Instead of doing my taxes and ironing, I'll create a simulated avatar and then do them in the virtual world. Thus the boring toil becomes equally pointless!" Give me strafing the wrong tanks because all the graphics look identical! Give me a cardboard and string biplane with two weedy maxim guns. Give me four simulated weeks of randomly wandering theAtlantic before I accidentally run out of fuel and drift into an Allied convoy which promptly sinks me!

Being oldskool I want to grab a five second clip from Blackadder for use in a presentation. HOW? Tell me how, oh wise forum baboons!

Like I say, I'm still a fat man. I'm just a very fast fat man. This subject always reminds me of the Comic Book Guy in the Simpsons. He's at a convention and he locks eyes with a cute girl. CBG: Tell me: how do you feel about 30 year old virgins who still live with their parents? CG: Comb the pop-tarts out of your beard and you've got a deal! CBG: Don't try and change me, baby. If anything predicts my romantic future is my totally uncompromising cussedness about doing stuff under pressure from others. I fething hate it.

You're aiming for 8.5 miles in 1.5 hrs? That's what the regulars do as the combat fitness test (with 15kgs of kit). It's a tough target, but you're young and it's good to set your sights high. If you're doing that sort of thing for fun I'd seriously suggest you consider the Forces, mate!

It was. I cooked the steak with teriyaki sauce. I now have fresh coffee. It's almost worth having a hangover for food like this.

I sympathise. I have a hangover too. Just kicking in. luckily I managed to drag out to the shops first. I'm about 5 minutes away from a massive fry-up with steak, bacon, eggs, and hash browns.

I agree. Those were the days. It even used to apply to space sims.

Terribly hungover today. Was out last night celebrating the fact that I did my timed run (2.4 km) in 9 minutes. I am still fat, but man do I move fast for a fat man! I've also pipped my targets for situps and pressups. How's everyone else coming on? Sando?

ka-zing!

When I call him good I am reliant upon the words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. But that doesn't mean he's always right.

Maybe I should bleach out the tips?

Oh joy. More reasons to distrust wireless routers. I only ever use hardwiring.

If you chaps think it's worthwhile I guess I'll have to buy it.

If everything else fails show her your nipples. Nipples have the power to overcome any obstacle! Also, you get bonus points if you have the Laser Nipples upgrade. I dunno... *regards nipples dubiously* my nipples are a bit hairy.

So we should fine parents if their kids gets their fingers on an 18+ game? Also my perhaps biggest problem with the government getting involved in this is that I still haven't seen a reasonable amount of studies showing that kids are damaged by violent video games, it seems to be simply a widely supported assumption. Very good point. But since when as any public policy guided by scientific study? At least wherever Joe Public can poke a nose in. What I'm arguing for is making existing systems more comprehensive. A parrallel would be our local council. Instead of raising council tax they worked out 10% of people weren't paying. They made those 10% pay and tax stayed the same. I'm saying we simply make the people with best oversight accountable for enforcing the existing system. I suppose I'm also saying that maybe we shoud wipe away a lot of this b*****cks about pre-empting things and focus more on the bastards who actually do anything wrong. i.e. if people actually ARE vilent we deal with them more effectively, rather than hysterically rushing about trying to avoid any possible way they might become violent.
