Oooooh! — the beeb reports Film and TV archives put on web
Clips of films ranging from Carry On Cleo to The Wicker Man, and TV shows from Cathy Come Home to The Avengers, are on the new Screenonline website.
However, you have to be a school to get hold of them … bloody kids! they dont know how lucky they are these days … back in my days you were lucky to get to watch a noisy reel of cartoons at Christmas and that was your lot for the year as far as ‘multimedia’ went.
Send ‘em down the coal mines I say — that’ll learn em!

… and for any readers of Bangla script out there — yes I know I’ve spelt mubarak wrong but what do you expect from a bideshi.
In case you’re wondering, it’s the front cover off the Eid card that ‘the family’ sent out to the rest of the clan this year. Anyway, y’all have a great day now.

England just won the Rugby World Cup in the last minutes of extra time against the the Aussies! … and even better I’ve just installed new blogging software which will allow me to block off spammers from old posts, so victory all round!!
This post is just sad on so many levels …
I even nicked the title from a Jim Rosenthal comment …
I feel dirty.

Okay, some words as well as a picture this time.
Yesterday evening I went along to a screening of this years 1st Cut documentaries held very convieniently at the UGC on Broad Street and apart from wincing everytime I appeared on screen (It was suggested that I had some sort of fringe fetish?!?) I saw some pretty darn good documentaries and picked up some pressies as well — bonus!
Anyway, the screening was a welcome couple of hours break from a 60 hour editing session I’d found myself wrapped up in. Which wouldn’t have been so bad this close to Eid and Christmas and all the ‘giving’ that those occasions entail had it not been for the fact that I was paid in pizzas!
So what’s the going rate in pizzas for Adobe Premier editing? … three large ones apparantly — so at 3 pizzas of 12 slices each that’s 36 slices for 60 hours work. Or, to put it another way 0.6 pizza slices per hour of editing.
Next time I’m going to ask to be paid in peanuts.
