Wings Over Scotland


And finally… #8

Posted on January 31, 2013 by

In the light of the Electoral Commission setting higher limits for referendum campaign spending, Labour’s Richard Baker, Dr. Richard Simpson and Alistair Darling embark on an urgent fundraising drive outside The Rangers’ next away game in SFL 3.

(We might have gone with this, but it doesn’t seem to be possible to embed YouTube video at a specified starting point, at least in so far as we don’t know how to do it.)

    Pause the video.
    Right click on the screen.
    Copy video URL at current time.

    That’s what happens in Chrome anyway. Not sure about FF.

    Just watched the rerun of Hollyrood Hilarity on BBC Parliament.
     This week was a keeper – the fair Johann was the epitome of an utterly dire supply English teacher reading some dreich kailyard tale to a class of teenagers whose weekly gemme of fitba has been cancelled. Her delivery was both monotonous AND hesitant, her eyes rarely left the page except to glare at her audience, and the random hand movements were merely distracting. The faltering delivery, mispronunciation and whining cadence merely added to the comic effect.
      As for the content …

     Then Ruth showed us yet again why she is the bestest Head Girl Ever – her brainy questions included asking why poker players keep their cards close to their chest. She has a great future behind her.
     Can’t wait until next week …

    That’s how you LINK to it, not how you EMBED it.

    To begin a YouTube clip to begin from a set time index, add &t=NmNNs at end of the URL, no spaces, where ‘N’ = a numerical value.
    For example:
