BBQ in Alfriston

Ooh, its a hot day and I am going to Lydia’s dad’s farm in Alfriston for a BBQ. I’ll put some photos here when I get back. I’ll miss the football, but England will win 3 – 1 or something so there’s not much point watching it. Also, Conny is meant to be in Brighton (on a week holiday from his new home in Switzerland), but he hasn’t called me since he arrived a few days ago. Where are you Conny?

Gave Google Video a go

On my mission for the remaining Star Trek Voyager clips, I tried searching on Google Video. When I clicked onto the TV Show category, I found it was swamped by a single chat show at 99¢ a video. It seems that this new searchable medium has some way to go before it starts to become useful.

After no success with Voyager, I went onto the Popular category. There a brilliant French clip about a hidden-cam egg factory, a really dodgy Russian road tunnel, a gaseous American preacher and some other stuff. After a while the “Popular” videos appeared again and again. Have a look for yourself at: video.google.com.
