Just got in from work and see you have all been busy returning the w..bats balls. 

On a serious note wnat has happened to the ITN links.  Are they not getting enough money that they have to make you pay to look at old news video now some 25 years on.  I am going to write to them to see what the hell they are playing at.

The links are working again, seemed to have been a glitch with the site.

These ITN news reports are well worth watching if anyone hasn't already seen them.
