Re: Video Tips
Staying resolutely on-topic [1], I've started watching my "League of Gentlemen" first series DVD. This is a very good DVD indeed, with an second audio track by the cast talking about why they did everything. The DVD starts with a question "Are you Local ?" If you click "No" it switches off :) -- Robert [1] Not! Dave Cross wrote: Here's a top tip. Don't try to video two hours of programs on an hour and a half of video tape.

Search for the Holy Grail. after a long intro the opening screen you get two options 'Get the Grail' and summink else .. Get the Grail takes you through a little sequence ' of congratulations youve found the grail .. thanks for playing' and the programme then quits. -- Robin Szemeti The box said "requires windows 95 or better" So I installed Linux!
