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.
"A kilo of pot? It's about yea big."
*rectangular measuring gestures*

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.
