Inauguration!

Original YT playout date: 12 September 2009

You wanna know what ceremony there is in Poland when kids go to school at the start of a new year? This is the inauguration of a new year of school. I don’t remember any pomp and circumstance like this when I were a lad in England. We didn’t have school songs, school flags, we didn’t sing the national anthem, and take oaths, and swear lifelong allegiance to the country. We did in the scouts of course, but not at school. Maybe we should have. But from my eyes, all this is entirely unfamiliar. Maybe the American viewers will recognise it more. You’ll see Sophie in there enjoying herself with her classmates, and the footage is from about two years ago. (The September 2008 at the beginning should say 2007, but what the heck) I didn’t put it up fresh as I have only just worked out how to get my mini DVs into the computer! (Don’t expect any technical prowess on this channel.) Enjoy. Continue reading “Inauguration!”

I found this jazzed up version of the Gluck singing lesson staple on the net, but the singer and the backing were not credited. If anyone can help me give credit where credit is due, by all means do!

Terrace Update

Duration: 6:15

I took this footage a couple of months back and kinda overlooked playing it out, but here goes. Obviously some of the flower shots at the end are a joke – they’re not all on my terrace! The fence is creosoted now, which means it has the same colour as the patio boards.

NTTBS Reunion 30th August 2009

Original YT playout date: 3 September 2009
Duration: 3:02:29

The show that put the “”ear”” back into “”end of an era””. Featuring the vocal talents of Stu, Matt, Jo and Arron in the playradiouk.com studio (courtesy of Lee), and the usual contributors outside the studio (well, also inside, as there was the traditional studio invasion). The Jason-Mason posse did the invasion, while on the phones and skypes we heard gems from such seasoned contributors as Leslie Grufford, Gary Redbeard of Kattfjord, Fat Steve from Atlanta, Paddy O’Donahue and Viktor Huliganov of this channel, CfWW, Alan Caddick, Brummie Chris, Johnny Harzenfarzen and Eduardo too, all having fun for the last time. Sniff sniff.

My thanks to Mick of http://www.mickynwa.com for the captured files for this.
