Yes there are, but the cut to the UK release was asked for by the UK censor. There's no reason why the Australian one should have asked for the same change to be made...

The UK release is widescreen as well, but neither it nor the Australian one will play in the vast majority of US DVD players. Is the Aussie disc edited in any way? The UK one has a minor cut (for language IIRC) :-(

When it made the UK singles chart, it was titled "All I Have To Do Is Dream" ;-)

It may have been, but not by anyone called Linda ;-)

"Halfway Down The Stairs" was performed on the Harvey Korman episode, in Season 1. Linda Ronstadt performed "When I Grow Too Old To Dream" on the Muppet Show, but if that's not the one you're thinking of, then I'm guessing it was "All I Have To Do Is Dream", which was performed by Linda...

The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, The Frog Prince, Hey Cinderella, Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, Fraggle Songs, Doozer Music. All (except possibly Doozer Music, which I've only seen in a cardboard slipcase) were released on VHS and Beta in big white clamshell boxes circa 1983. All can be...

There's also a cockup on the menus - "A Story Short" is listed as "A Short Story"...

No, that's the lot. No extras on the disc, and the flyer in the box is just chapter listings and advertising.

My copy of disc 1 arrived this morning :-) The episodes all run to roughly 24 minutes, and having taken a closer look, it would appear that they were telecined and edited at 25fps: the UK discs are *not* a standards-conversion from the US ones. Which is good :-) Most shots are progressive...

You're saying you've found a PAL videotape/DVD for sale in the US?! Any computer which can play DVDs will play PAL and NTSC discs. As far as it's concerned, the only difference is the picture size and framerate. However, you will find that your DVD drive is configured to only allow discs...

Hmm. By 'browsing', do they simply mean 'logged in'? Because I can check my email when I get up in the mornings and find multiple notifications from a single thread, despite the fact that I haven't 'browsed' for at least eight hours :-) Like I say, this never happened prior to v3, so this...

If you think that the popups are being generated by a site that you're visiting, one option is to switch to a different browser. Opera and Firebird (or whatever it's currently called) both allow you to disable advertising popups. Allegedly the updates to IE that are due this summer in the next...

...I changed my mind. I like cold, wet Edinburgh :-D :-P

I'll move to the US if I can get a job there!

Osaka is where Panasonic (my employer) is based. And I hate the place. Actually, I've just about had enough of this job :-) Time for a change...

This might perhaps be the time to mention that I don't speak a word of Japanese! I'm here for a business meeting; this is a monthly thing, although the location varies (LA next month, Tokyo some time later this year, I think).

Arrived in Nara about 14 hours ago. It keeps trying to snow, but the weather here doesn't seem to have got the hang of the idea yet...
