I'm not sure, but I think I read somewhere that advertising revenue only kicks in once a video has been viewed for 'x' minutes, so folk clicking, then closing, would earn nothing. I may be wrong, but that would explain why the videos have to keep viewers interested, at least for 'x' minutes.

Just a quick 'Thumb's Up' and 'Hat's Off' to the Mod and Admin team for their too-often thankless and never-ending 'swatting' of all the Spam shït stuff that gets thrown at the BC wall, all too often. Good Job, folk. We (the BC Hive...) are grateful.

Ooo look..! A bee..!

An option, certainly, for either limited storage, or 10€/month. Hmm... Not sure that I'll bite.

Yes, it does.

I'm in France, so not really concerned by the UK blockage, myself. However, as I post mostly on BC, and most BC members are in the UK, there was no point in my continuing to post Imgur pictures; indeed, all the Imgur pictures I've posted over the decades are now not visible any more (thanks, Imgur...). I can't assume that BC members will use a VPN, even less so if it's just to see my, or other, Imgur pictures, so I've got shot of it all, and now post directly into my BC picture allocation. Not ideal, as I wanted to not load the BC resources, but I have found no reasonable hosting alternative for now. If I do, I'll adopt it. I post far fewer pictures than in the past, though, so it's not a big deal. Still, all the past Modelling Build logs, Gardening photos, even my Smilies, are gone for ever. Up until recently, I'd recommended Imgur as being a Good Hosting Environment. No more, alas; no more. I now curse them roundly.

It won't show up on screens in the UK, as Imgur have decided not to comply with certain recent UK laws about child protection. The answer, for me, was to scrub Imgur completely and post directly into BC, like this (your photo, naturally...)... Not ideal, but d'ems de breaks.

Traditionally, Woking, I believe

'After Bathing At Baxters'..? ...

An excellent, well-filmed and apparently honest documentary; thanks for sharing.

Fixed. ...

I shall do, following this enthusiastic recommendation. Much music is, I believe, of its time, by which I mean the time of the listener. Stuff heard and enjoyed in one's formative (y...)ears has a much more lasting effect; hearing the same music later has a quite different impact on the listener. Memories, souvenirs, experiences have been formed, of which the music played a part. There is music for the occasion, too; styles one may not usually choose to listen to could be very suitable in different circumstances. In general, I would say that I have quite wide tastes, but, still in general, I usually need to make some 'sense' of what I'm hearing (not to be confused nor conflated with 'understanding'...). I get auditively bored with much hyper-repetitive 'funk' (I'm not a dancer, so that aspect escapes me...), and, as a drummer, the Big Beat 'Disco' 'One-One-One-One' lasts barely a few seconds before the Off-switch is thrown. I'm not phased, either by novelty for novelty's sake; something 'new' has no particular advantage over past offerings per se (but are not excluded either, if I find merit...). Gimmicks, gadgets, hooks... have their place, but need to be pretty darned solid to gain a repeat audition. OK, enough... I'll dive into the Fossil Fuel (topical, being an old Fossil myself..!) and put it down to experience if I come to regret it. Back later... (But that Roads thing was quite far 'out there', musically, and reading through the badly-'sung' lyrics did nothing to endear it to me ...) Edit : OK, to be kind, I'll just say 'Unimpressed', and leave it there.

Better; much better. The sort of composition that makes sense to me; no idea concerning lyrics, though, as I'd have to follow along with the sleeve notes. I listened to the end, and will listen again with the lyrics. I hope that they're worth it. Edit : Acceptable, in context. Shades of 'Sting'.

Will-power. Lots and lots of will-power. I regret it now; I won't ever get those four minutes back.
