TheCinera:
Nah, I got my brother to do it. I should re-try in a few days, just in case I was having a bad connection. Once I see my brother online, he'll send me the video and I'll watch it sometime soon, don't worry.

Could it be a Big Brother for Davina's daughters?
By LUCY BALLINGER Last updated at 08:27am on 12th September 2006
Davina is now just days away from giving birth to her third child.
She once proudly wore a T-shirt boasting 'Big Mutha', and yesterday Davina McCall certainly looked it.
In these pictures it is obvious the presenter's third child is due any day now, and the strain of pregnancy shows.
As she got into a car near her home yesterday the 38-year-old had her hair scraped back in a makeshift bun and wore no make-up.
She was wearing a green maternity T-shirt with the word 'Sunshine' on it and a long black skirt which clung tightly to her massive bump. A multicoloured bag covered with cartoons was slung over her shoulder.
The Big Brother presenter was also sporting a pair of bright pink Crocs clogs - the latest fashion must-have which other celebrities including Desperate Housewives star Terri Hatcher have been snapped wearing.
In April Miss McCall confirmed rumours she was expecting her third child. She made the announcement the day before the BBC announced her prime-time chatshow would not be given a second series.
At the time she said: 'I balloon when I'm pregnant - or it's what people politely call "blooming".'
Although her spokesman last night refused to confirm the exact date Miss McCall fell pregnant, she is believed to be overdue.
The spokesman said: "The baby is due fairly soon."
Miss McCall has not worked since the reality television show she hosts every year ended last month when Tourette's syndrome sufferer Pete Bennett was crowned the seventh winner.
She has two daughters with husband Pet Rescue presenter Matthew Robertson.
After her last pregnancy she worked hard to lose the excess two stone she had gained during the pregnancy. She embarked on an intensive diet and exercise programme which helped the weight drop off.
But at the Bafta awards ceremony last year she appeared painfully thin with a drawn face and jutting hip bones.

Big Brother draw broke ad rules
Nestle, Channel 4 and Endemol failed to have an independent observer present when a winning number was picked, according to the Advertising Standards Authority
Big Brother draw broke ad rules
4.07, Tue Sep 12 2006
Big Brother's Golden Ticket draw to select a new housemate breached prize promotion rules, industry watchdogs have announced.
Nestle, Channel 4 and Endemol failed to have an independent observer present when a winning number was picked, according to the Advertising Standards Authority.
Officials launched an investigation after 11 viewers complained about the way model Susie Verrico won her place in the house.
The Golden Ticket promotion involved 100 tickets being hidden inside KitKat bars.
A live lottery-style draw was then broadcast in which one ticketholder's number was picked.
Some viewers thought the draw was rigged and 43-year-old Susie had been pre-selected as winner.
The ASA has criticised Nestle, Channel 4 and Endemol for failing to ensure an independent observer was present immediately before and during the live draw.
The ASA ruling said: "We investigated whether the promotion was conducted under the supervision of an independent observer.
"On this point, the promotion breached the Committee of Advertising Practice Code clause 35.7 (prize promotions)."
It told the competition's promoters to ensure competitions complied with the code in future.
The ASA rejected complaints from viewers who thought the ball numbers were rigged.
An independent observer had signed a check-sheet proving that 34 numbered balls had entered the draw.
Slow-motion footage showed the winning ball was "undoubtedly" Susie Verrico's winning number 14, the ASA found.
In a joint response Nestle, Channel 4 and Endemol said an observer was not present during the draw because Big Brother rules prevented outsiders coming into contact with housemates.
They said the draw was carried out in the presence of 10 housemates under continuous monitoring by a production team while watched live by five million viewers.

TheCinera:
Wow. Davina is almost ready to blow. And I do believe seeing the number 14 in Aisleyne's hand when she held it up. I didn't think it was rigged because Channel4 probably knew how boring she is, lol.
Jeffrey Scott:
No kidding, how often had she applied before this? She finally got her wish and everyone hated her.
