Hi,

If you burn it to a DVD first then Gordian Knot and AutoGK are worth a
look for getting it to a shareable format.

That wouldn't be a certain "Matthew Marks", original 'facilitator' for

I doubt it, and hope not

I only watch it because I'm a masochist

Matt the twat really grates ( I think it's the same with all Esther 
Ransen's protegees - including Paxman)

I wonder if Matt and his mate with the wheels are an issue ?

At least they taught you how to use apostrophes correctly.

Not especially, nor were there pigtails for me and pink gingham for anyone. 
Spotless white aprons or green lab coats protected our bottle green 
gymslips.

Yes, would that it was considered as important now :-(

English grammar and spelling and Latin were the best things I ever learned. 
They weren't the only lessons though. I didn't excel at everything - 
especially maths, history and sports.

Nor did I learn from detentions, lines and other punishments ...

We had to write an essay (choice of subject from a list of about eight) 
and if it was rubbish or too short you'd be back in detention the next 
week.  ISTR that I just wrote the same essay every time (which was most 
weeks at one point) - Sunday afternoons were such fun  :-)

Only the pompous would claim to have a well regulated mind, in my opinion. 
They deserve to be distressed.

What - disporting yourself?

He may be tedious in some peoples eyes, but a far better person than
those low-life mother-****rs that rob, steal and lie to people robbing
them of hunfred's or thousands of pounds. Once exposed, life
imprisonment for these vermin is too kind.

I'll see what I can do - I'll have to convert it to a computer readable 
format first

Thanks for the file. I've downloaded the file, extracted rogues.VOB using
WinRAR - but my system doesn't seem to know what to do with a .VOB file. Any
clues?

Also, what is the password for - I haven't been asked for one so far?

Well, I managed to convert it to a .mpg file - using odd bits of software
which I had lying around - but it only seems to contain the first 11 minutes
of the programme. is that right?
