And Then, An Advert...

   As previously mentioned and still proceeding at a pace, ol’ whitey has all but lost that lucrative TV advertising gig.     
   Also, not wishing to type the obvious, informative advertising; remember that? Name a product or service, wot it does, how it works and wot it costs and where to get it. Remember that? That simple art also seems to be on the way out. I give it a year then wot were once known in TV land as commercial breaks will become known as cartoon breaks.
   This wot’s here is just a test for me, me, me! Links in the left side toggle a song menu have been adjusted to open in full browser screen by editing watch? to watch_popup? but that edit, for some reason, wouldn’t work, for me, with an added hyperlink. This little hack seems to work for me. Interested? Just take the YouTube address and after the t in youtube, insert a dash, as in –. First click, “Not available” second click cool. Will it work after posting? I’ll find out in a jiffy...
    Well blow me down; watch_popup? just worked. Beats me. Here’s wot it looks like;

I'm waiting to meet a married(?) couple such as those you describe so that I can gush in a fawning manner that I've seen them starring(!) in a TV commercial. Sadly I haven't encountered such a couple other than my mate at the bowls club and his lovely wife.

Mr Higham,
Thanks for that. On my little tablet, Android, when clicked it just opens YouTube to show a flickering video area and no sound at all.

Andy,
My little nest of vipers. from a land far, far away, and me from here are still patiently waiting for the call to dance and gurn all over your screen to promote fried rice with egg and chips...
