Dude, we Americans have no clue what an f-in' "kilo" is. Unless you're talking cocaine or pot, or maybe heroin, and then we measure it by the size of the plastic bag.

Yah, I'd be in your band, if we were in the same country or something.
Then again, it wouldn't be your band any more ha ha ha!

I of course meant seven pounds. I think. A stone is a unit of measurement for weight, specifically used for saying how heavy a person is....

Here is some much better audio, supplied by the lovely Mr B from his DVD recording ....

It's a short excerpt from "The 'I am a Winner' Jam" featuring j$ on vocals and tambourine, Kamakura, Kapitano & Andy Balham on backing vocals, Pompeii on music. Very jazz!!

Apologies for the camp squealing at the start. It's a moment of joy after the counts from the challenge song proved that impossibly, I had indeed won!

I've just successfully installed a DVD burner for just this purpose.I need to do some reading on this, but as I currently understand it the region business should not be an issue as you can burn regionless ones.

What I'm not sure sure about is the PAL vs NTSC issues. I believe most newer UK televisions can handle NTSC, so that may be the format of choice. Any advice would be appreciated.

NTSC = Never twice (the) same colour.
