"Additinal plug0ins are required to display all the media on this page.
Click here to install plugins"

So I click

"Following plug-ins are available
Real Player 10.5
Press NEXT to install plugins
Firefox is installing plugins
Firefox finished installing missing plugins
RealPlayer 10.5 installed
Firefox needs to be restated for the plugins to work"

So I do, and then - it starts all over again!

I cannot watch GBC live stream, just as I couldn't watch the referendum
2006, but WAS able to watch 2002 and can receive the audio stream from GBC
radio via Realplayer.

It says Web Design : Jim Watt

I think that answers your question.

Looks like his web design is about as good as his FAQ!

The server ran at capacity so others certainly did.

Indeed GBC was collecting money from UK viewers for
the first time on Open Day.

What do you call the Spanish again, I'm sure I can search google groups if
you want.

You're a crap web designer.

No, no 10E3 times no, enough is enough.

Perhaps we need a referendum to decide not to hold
any more.

Now Jim, I've told you 10E6 times before, don't exaggerate!

Here's a maths joke for you.

Teacher trying to explain to little lad the rudiments of addition, which
seem to be leaving the lad behind. So the teacher explains "Now Jim" (my
joke, Ichoose to call the lad what I want!) "suppose I give you 2 rabbits,
and then I give you 3 rabbits - how many rabbits do you have?"

"Six" replies little Jim (Applause! He fallen in the water - but that's a
different tale altogether)

"No, let's try again and this time use your fingers" continued the teacher.
"First 2 rabbits - 1, 2 and then 3 more rabbits - 3, 4, 5"

"Six" insists Jim.

"How on earth do you have six rabbits if I give you five rabbits?" asks the
teacher incredulously, to which Jim replies

"I already have a rabbit"

Regretably due to technical reasons beyond anyone'e control
it was not possible to do it on this occasion.

However, GBC got some excellent pictures and these will be
shown in due course. BBC Radio was there so those of you
in the UK may have heard it live on that or GBC radio.
