I could say my work here is done as I have succeeded in driving Kyt further into insanity but if you've been up for 48 hours, I can't really get the credit for that!

I will video the music on my phone and upload it when I find my download cable!

DL, you are a gentleman and a scholar!

Come to think about it, it might have been my mobile phone going off in the background!

The fact that Kyt had to load this for me proves I am not that technologically savvy! Operate the computer, my phone and a video? Ha!

True. Only old farts say "technologically savvy" - us young hip dudes say "tecno-savvy" (oh dear god, did I just use the expression "dudes"? )

"Young hip dudes" to be exact.

So if you're older than me and I'm an old fart...

Works okay for me.

Was this the music in Battle of Britain when they finally gained the ascendancy and cleared the skies.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

You're quite right Spidge. It's the Battle Of Britain Theme by Ron Goodwin. And I thought it was 633 Squadron

You can hear a sample here:
