Something a bit different!

Now, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post up a link to this little Mpeg (its not rude or anything!)....I hope its OK Forum Mods?

Anyway, little story behind this link - guy was talking about house prices and why we're not in the best of shape right now....He knocks up this little mpeg in 2 hours! (its only a few minutes long)

I thought it was very funny and very topical.

It is very weird how something said in jest has the ring of truth about it!

MODS - if I did wrong, let me know and I wont do it again - thanks.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll pass on your message.

    I think he's doing one this weekend and he's going to spend a bit more time on it.....I cant wait to see what he can with more than a couple of hours! Very talented guy IMHO.

    I just love the internet, I'd never meet people like that in my "daily life"

    That's amazing. I've been a lurker here for ages and enjoy reading the many informative posts, but just had to register to give some feedback on that video.

    I've downloaded it and am going to show it to my husband tomorrow.

    That really is the best satire of Gordon Brown I have ever seen. I couldn't stop laughing, especially when the council house changed into a semi-detatched, and when the song says about it being a volunatary cause, but there are the Police making sure everyone stays in line at the New Labour conference.

    We should all spread this link in our emails. This could be huge!

    WOW!

    P.S. Does this guy do videos for a living? I can't even cook a decent meal in 2 hours!

    Orange1234,

    I have no idea what he does!

    He mentioned in a post that he had just installed MovieMaker on his PC!.....I dont think he does videos for a living. He posted it in response to somebody commenting on "the economic miracle" that Labour have given us (!)

    The argument went backwards and forwards....then he comes back and says - I just made this....tell me what you think (be gentle, its my first effort)....Lots and lots of praise on the forum, so hopefully he will do another.

    What with the new economic miracle Gordy has unveiled today (Sunday) - I thought it might be worth bringing this back to the top for a day or two - Take a look!
