I watched the CoE one until I fell asleep. Mr. Catolick - yes!! but did want to red pencil the spelling and punctuation (was a 4th grade teacher in previous life)
Yes, I agree with Ann on all points. The most frustrating thing about the CofE one aside from the many numbers, statistics, etc., is the fact that much of the information imparted is unreadable and moves too fast to make sense of. . . Hmm. . Maybe that was the idea. . .
Ann, seconding susan s., ditto to both your points. I was a second grade teacher in a previous life.
Having said that, I freely admit that I make my share of mistakes, and I'm particularly fortunate to have watchdogs who correct my mistakes, especially you and Ms Editor, Cathy, for your generous attention. And there's not a trace of irony in what I say. I'm truly grateful.
susan s., I agree with you that I was, too often, not quick enough to read the words before they disappeared.
The CofE video is perfect for those insomniac nights....
Mr CatOLick, excellent for a cat. You're almost as good as the cockroach Archy, who always wrote in lower case, because he
would climb up onto the typewriter and hurl himself at the keys, laboriously typing out stories of the daily challenges and travails of a cockroach. Archy's best friend was an alley cat named "Mehitabel," and the two of them shared a series of day-to-day adventures that made satiric commentary on daily life in the city during the 1910s and 1920s.
Thanks for visiting and raising the tone of my blog.
Whoever made this video (and probably charged a lot for doing it) is pretty crap at it. The text in many of the shots is virtually unreadable. Basic graphic design rule, never place text over photographs, unless it is clearly visible, which this is not. Rip off!
Like the ever-repeating music. Cheap way to make it last the whole length without paying lengthy royalties! Think I might record it as a means to get to sleep at night!
Finally, I gave up following the video after about one minute, it's so boring!
Oh Mimi I absolutely ADORE Archy and Mehitabel!!! I've got two Archy books in me bedroom where I keep all my favourite books - Archy & Mehitabel, and Archy's Life of Mehitabel. They're fabulous.

Graham, your commentary is spot on. And yes, no doubt the powers paid big money for the video.
ReplyDeleteChurch of England video: Zzzzzzzz...
ReplyDeleteMr. CatOLick: YAY! (Cat's are not held responsible for spelling - just lapping milk off their pawz).
Have you not read "I Can Has Cheezburger?"
Oh Mimi I absolutely ADORE Archy and Mehitabel!!! I've got two Archy books in me bedroom where I keep all my favourite books - Archy & Mehitabel, and Archy's Life of Mehitabel. They're fabulous.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I adore the fabulous pair, too. I should have given credit for the quote to Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteIn the CofE video I kept having to go back and read in disbelief --not a "membership" church....
ReplyDeleteHuh.... and I thought that is what the so-called covenant was all about --first tier membership....
Thank you mr CatOLick for a charming snark!
