Things have changed, people...

You'll be back in a fortnight, but believe me people it's gonna be different.



...aren't they?

Budding garbologists apply here...

If you're AJ Weberman, or even fancy becoming a Caledonian Dylanologist, you might be interested to know that when Bob is in residence at Aultmore House (q.v.) his bins get collected on a Monday.
Potential career here, Alex? Garbology & all that?
Personally I'd rather rake through the bins at the Old Inn, Gairloch. Thanks to Martin Stephenson & Henry. Awesome as ever. As James Robertson Justice was wont to say in the Baxter's advert of yore, "Thanks to my neighbours across the Firth".

BBC iPlayer launches 27th July

The BBC's on-demand TV service, BBC iPlayer, is to launch on 27 July. As they say in the press release:

BBC iPlayer is a free catch-up service for UK licence fee payers. Your favourite programmes from all the BBC's network TV channels will be available to download over the internet, and watch on your PC without advertising for up to a week after transmission.
At launch, once viewers have accessed BBC iPlayer at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer and have downloaded a programme, they will have up to 30 days in which to watch it. Once watched, the programme file clears itself up by deleting itself.
BBC iPlayer is far more than a standalone application. Later this year, it will become widely accessible across bbc.co.uk, as well as via links from YouTube and a number of other potential distribution partners (subject to the BBC Trust's new syndication policy and management's guidelines).

Now if we could only renegotiate the ERA licence so that programmes could be downloaded rather than recorded (or not recorded or partially recorded because the tennis over-ran) AV library life would truly become much easier.
Nearly forgot. Don't try the link just yet - unless you've got a username & password.

On a more serious note thankfully we can remove the Alan Johnston campaign logo from this site.
