(They download in three second segments, taking about two minutes for each download.) However, despite the title being about the subject cat, the video appears to be some sort of war story, nothing to do with weather (or a cat appearing on the set). |

Here this will work better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP4zaMvV__4 and a quote about it: The cat, whose name is Lupin, belongs to a staffer who was out of town. No one knows how Lupin got into the studio. Kachelmann said, “I noticed him when he rubbed against my leg and thought people might wonder what was happening. I figured it would be easier to control the cat by picking him up. Cats get annoyed if they feel ignored. So I made sure he didn’t feel ignored.” I am pretty sure Kachelmann is a Cat Guy. |

(They download in three second segments, taking about two minutes for each download.) The problem is that the video usually plays faster than it can download, so it gets ahead of itself. Then it has to wait until more of the file is downloaded before it can play it. This is very annoying. This should help: Click the "stop" button. (It won't say "Stop", but will have either two vertical lines close together, looking a bit like the number 11, or else a square.) This stops the video from playing. Let the video download until the progress bar is all the way to the right. Then click "Start" (same button as the Stop button, but now it has a right- pointing triangle on it). This way, the script won't be attempting to play the video while downloading is going on. However, despite the title being about the subject cat, the video appears to be some sort of war story, nothing to do with weather (or a cat appearing on the set). Patience, patience. It's a 30-second ad that is played before the main news item. If necessary for healthy blood pressure, hit the mute button while the ad is playing. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

Thanks for that alternative link - I've never been able to see videos on the Beeb site for some reason. I laughed out loud seeing the tip of the cat's tail marching across the bottom of the picture when he first made his entry. |

They showed this on one of our Finnish news shows last night, too. Yes, definitely a Cat Guy. Who else would know about cats and being ignored? -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

This is much better-- the BBC copy was cropped so you couldn't see the tail make its first appearance. -- Theresa and Dante drtmuirATearthlink.net Stinky Forever: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh |
