Re: Happy Birthday Nigel!!
Wow! Not another Birthday Thread, I thought, but hey; these birthday threads are great!
Firstly, many, many thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate them. We've had a few days in London (following a few days in Cornwall, near Craggy Tops (following a few days in Norfolk)) so I haven't been around here much! As Ming said, we booked an amazing deal through lm.com, and stayed at the Hilton in Islington, for less money than the grotty pub we stayed at in Cornwall! (Sorry, Landlord - if you're reading this, I'm only kidding, it was a great little pub! ) We had a great weekend, loads of Belgian and British Beers, and great grub! Liverpool only managed a draw and we missed Viv's shenanigans in Tisbury, but then nothing's perfect!
Ming, what can I say? I had tears in my eyes (well, where else can you get tears?) after watching that video. What an absolute treasure you are. I just can't imagine how you can do such a great video! I wouldn't know where to start. If you edit the part out of me running through the Enchanted forest with no clothes on (I wouldn't want to disillusion Anita's impression of me), then of course put up the link!
Thanks again, everyone!

Re: Happy Birthday Nigel!!
A lovely video, Ming! Jolly decent of you to let it be put up on the Forums, Nigel!

It wouldn't disillusion my impression of you at all. On the contrary, it would serve to confirm it![Nigel:] If you edit the part out of me running through the Enchanted forest with no clothes on (I wouldn't want to disillusion Anita's impression of me), then of course put up the link!

Re: Happy Birthday Nigel!!
Now that you are back, Nigel, I will add my belated Birthday wishes - I didn't think there was much point at the time as your social secretary announced that you were in London!!
Sorry that my technical ability doesn't allow a video, but I enjoyed Ming's - though it did keep stopping all the time, probably too mind-blowing for my computer!

Re: Happy Birthday Nigel!!
All I can say is, the online version played up a bit on my computer too! I have the original video, which I played through Windows Media Player, and I had no problems at all. YouTube would have been better than Photobucket, but I didn't want the video to crop up in YouTube and Google search listings.

Thanks, Tony! Although living it up at the Hilton, I was constantly in touch with my secretary by mobile phone. It's a good job she's only got half the freedom of her friends. She still has twenty times more freedom than I've got though.....Tony Summerfield wrote:Now that you are back, Nigel, I will add my belated Birthday wishes - I didn't think there was much point at the time as your social secretary announced that you were in London!!

Re: Happy Birthday Nigel!!
Wow Ming, that's a really impressive video. Technically speaking, I'd never be able to do something like that. What a lovely thought for Nigel's birthday
