      Video killed the radio star originally by the buggles and I went to school with the guy that wrote it. Now that is random ;-)

      Sadly I remember when it was the first vid to ever be played on MTV! I can’t do the vid (too tech stupid!), but I can geek on about Trevor Horn who sang on the original, he’s the god of music production……anyone who produces Frankie Goes To Hollywood, ABC, Dollar, Seal, Leann Rhymes, Simple Minds & The Pet Shop Boys must be the best!! ;-)

      Four days late, but. One of our staff members worked long hours over the weekend to get a response done. Have a peek. Just scroll down until you see “Happy Thursday from Mel.”

      Enjoy!

      Hey Mel,

      Andrew - total awesomeness!!! I’ve never been to Seattle although it’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to go - now I think I’m going to have to get it booked up. The original Starbucks too? Little known fact for you - whichever city I visit, I try and get a Starbucks mug with the name on :) Thankyou!!

      Ok… better late than never as they say…

      Just because I love doing things last minute, this was rattled up throughout a day, and glued together (badly) at night… After 3 crashes, and lots of screwing around with iMovie, I’ve got a renewed respect for your weekly editing efforts.

      Nathan…

      Awesome video!!! Right, going to have to make one of my own now…

      Just a couple of things…

      1. You drink tea? That’s just like drinking old ladies!
      2. How the hell did you manage to go to the toilet holding your camera?
      3. We all know that you only washed your hands after going to the toilet because you were recording it. Boys smell. Fact.
      4. Nice house :)
