I am thinking of doing a music "quiz" once a week. Am I right in thinking that as long as the snippet is under 30 seconds am I OK to use it?
Thanks.
Also I still need help looking for a camcorder. JVC GR-D270 is the I am looking at.

Dirty Phone Calls
So I get a phone call from Mrs PF "so what you got on?" Well I thought it was the start of a dirty phone call but nope she meant what have I got to do at work. Oh well.
I have been up north and travelled from Sheffield to Manchester for a meeting this morning. It was quite a bit nicer then my drive up the M1 and across the M25 for my normal drive to work.
I even managed to get a couple of photos as I was driving. Not the safest thing to do but hey I had to show you all.
Will take some on Monday of my normal drive !
Baby news - We are getting there now and the baby is due in less then 10 weeks.
Footy News - Preston at home tomorrow so will be there.
Todays Fact - According to a recent survey, more than half of British adults have had sex in a public place!
On this day - I had sex in a public place :-) and in 2000: Redgrave wins fifth Olympic gold.
British rower Steve Redgrave has entered Olympic history by winning his fifth consecutive gold medal.
Redgrave won his gold alongside Matthew Pinsent, Tim Foster and James Cracknell in the coxless fours on day eight of the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
The crowd of 22,000 dominated by British fans, let out a roar of triumph and relief after a thrilling and nail-biting race that saw the British crew win by less than half a second ahead of their closest rivals Italy at Penrith Lakes.
Joke of the day - What a wally !!! put it out man.

Camcorder advice wanted:
I'm after a camcorder so that I can get some film of Chosen One growing up.
I only really want to spend a max of £300 GB pounds (If the pound sign has not come out) a) running out of money and b) never used one before
Prob could do with DV in and out I guess so that I can edit on the camera.
Think it will go nice with the new iMac :-), I still have my powerbook though so I can start to play and edit asap.
Thanks bloggers,

Where does time go?
This baby stuff really starts to eat into your time, you have so much to do and prepare that most of your time is taken up with that.
We managed to get out yesterday and had a nice lunch in Camden with our friends. Went to a great thai by the Market at the North End of Town. Been a while since we had a stroll round the market and being so close we should really try a bit more BUT dont think we will take the baby round there. Just not enough room to get around.
It does seem to be losing it's charm and all the stalls are becoming a bit commericial , you can still get the "strange" but mostly it seems the "norm". I took the camera but only took 2 shots. 1 of my foot very boring and 1 of people getting off the bus that I used a serpia setting. Did it so I can compare it to Photoshop's conversion.
Off again tonight to Anti natal. We were discussing on the way home from the market about wetting Chosen Ones head, well I was and I was saying it would be great to go out and see some bands with my mates. Mrs PF thinks it is really nice of me to think of mates after she has done all that work. All heart me.
Tomorrow is the Mac Expo in Paris and I hope that a new iMac G5 is coming out so I can buy it :-), if not I will have to wait for Brent Cross to open. Went there Saturday and still no signs that it is even going to be there.
Baby news - Today is my compressed day off so I have put up a black out blind today in the nursery. Tommorow is 30 weeks so have 10 weeks to go, really feels like it is happening now and we can start the 10,9,8,7... countdown :-)
Footy News - Lucky we have bought forwards because we have none left. Still wish that we could call Sandor Torghelle from Greece. Got Coventry tomorrow in the League cup, again I wont be going :-0
Todays Fact - 70% of the land in Britain is owned by 1% population
Shocking but true
On this day - 19th September 1985: Mexico suffers devastating earthquake
A massive earthquake has hit Mexico not far from its capital, Mexico City, causing untold casualties and widespread damage.
Officials say at least 170 people have been killed and thousands injured, but it is feared the death toll may rise into the thousands.
The quake hit the west coast near the resort town of Acapulco early this morning, and was measured by the US Geological Survey at a magnitude of 7.8.
It lasted for 50 seconds, and devastated three states on the Pacific coast.
"A part of a mountain just slid away, falling on the peasants who were just getting up to go to work," said Lieutenant Manuel Sanchez, from the fire department's headquarters in the state of Jalisco.

Joke of the day Thanks to Mrs PF for this one:
3 tortoises, Mick, Andy and Roy, decide to go on a picnic.
Mick packs the picnic basket with beer and sandwiches.
The trouble is the picnic site is ten miles away so it takes them ten days to get there.
Mick unpacks the food and the beer.
"ok Roy, give me the bottle opener" he says.
"I didn't bring it" says Roy, "I thought you did."
Mick gets worried; he turns to Andy and says, "Did you bring the bottle opener?" Naturally, Andy didn't bring it, so they're stuck 10 miles from home without a bottle opener.
Mick and Andy beg Roy to go back for it. But he refuses as he says they will eat all the sandwiches and leave none for him.
After two hours of bickering, and them promising on their lives that they will not eat the sarnies, Roy agrees to go back.
So Roy sets off down the road at a steady pace. Twenty days pass and still he isn't back and Mick and Andy are starving, but they remember their promise and stay away from the sandwiches.
Another five days and he still isn't back, but a promise is a promise. Finally, they can't take it any longer,.so they take out a sandwhich each, and just as they are about to eat them, Roy pops out from behind a rock and shouts, " I knew it...I'm not f***ing going now, you b8stards!"

Baby news - Here is a a picture of our cot, We have not finished the room so decor is not correct.
Footy News - Come on Palace, Won 2-0 against Hull. See the report Here.

Pug Jumping
I want to say sorry to all the people that were parked on the side of the road as I went past them only to release it was a traffic jam and I had jumped most of the queue :-0 Not my fault honest. It was a transit that had the blanked out windows so I just presummed no one was in it but I guess there most of been. So if you were in one of the industrial parks near Watford and a 206 went past. SORRY.
I will have a good apple blog soon but in the meantime the Nano looks good, I have the iPod photo one and mine seems loads better for cost value etc.. Cant wait to see it in the flesh though. I can not believe that they dropped the Mini range. Still waiting for the Brent Cross shop to open and I will be buying my new computer. They normally have an opening special.
Baby news - Well only 1 man never turned up at the anti natal class last night, His wife said he was working late but then when I mentioned about the football being on TV her face kind of twisted.
Last night I learnt that women in the 70's were shaved with a blunt razor and then had a pipe and warm water squirted up their arse before giving birth. It was all part of the way it was.... scary hey.
I also learnt that Mrs PF will have a show that I dont really want to go to before going into labour.
Footy News - Oh dear.....
Todays Fact - You share your birthday with at least 9 million other people in the world.
On this day - 8/9/1968

Only some baby news really
Baby news - Well we have received our cot\bed, wardrobe, drawers. We have managed to set it all up apart from the wardrobe because we have to return part of that due to a corner being slightly damaged. Do you realise that the baby furniture cost more then our room (we do have built in wardrobes but still a more then our bed etc.)
We have chosen and received our travel system. We have gone for a Chicco CT0.1 trio auto-fix system and we even got a couple of bits free like a lightweight stroller and a high chair (Chosen one has to be 6 months old before using it though). It seems really really good and all just clicks on top of the frames. It also has a carry cot that we can use for chosen one to start off in so saves us getting a moses basket
We have also gone to our first Anti Natal class. 2 hours long :-0 We have another one on Wednesday. Yep as the footy kicks off I will be learning to relax and breathe....
Footy News - Well what is Sven going to do then tomorrow, I bet Owen plays and the guy has not played a competive game since the end of last season. Play Johnson I say, but then I would wouldn't I.
Todays Fact - Because metal was scarce; the Oscars given out during World War II were made of plaster.
On this day - 6th September 1997
Millions of people around the world watch live television pictures from London of the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales who had died in a car crash in Paris a week earlier. Britain comes to a virtual standstill for the whole day with an estimated two million mourners either outside Westminster Abbey or lining the route and a further 32 million watching the funeral on television.The worldwide TV audience is estimated at two billion
Cant say I did.
Joke of the day Thanks to a girl at work for this one. She does not read this blog though:
A brain and a pair of jump leads walk into a bar. The jump leads take a seat
and the brain gets the round in, but the bartender refuses to serve the
brain.
"How come?" says the brain.
"Well," replies the bartender, "you're out of your head and your mate looks
like he's gonna start something."

It Walks, it is alive
Yipee, I'm out of bed. Still a bit sore BUT it walks. I have managed to get downstairs and have even managed to sit rather then lie. I'm off tomorrow anyway on a compressed day so will be resting yet again.
Hey, I found my friend today on the blogger circuit. I will add a link but have look a Here, cant believe he never mentioned it to me but i think he was seeing how he got on first. Oh and yes he has a bad back as well. Strange...
Baby news - We have a midwife appointment tomorrow morning and we have our nursery furniture coming tomorrow afternoon. If it's no lifting then I will try and set it up.
Footy News - OK well we signed no one.
Todays Fact - Babies start dreaming even before they're born.
On this day - 1st September 1879 In southern Africa, Britain signs a peace treaty with Zulu chiefs.
Watched Zulu the film again a couple of weeks and never rembered it being so long and drawn out.
Joke of the day So who has noticed we have not had one? I'm going to post them again soon.
Heres one though: How do dinosaurs pay their bills?
With Tyrannosaurus checks.
