One of my aliases is Stewart White; as I wasn't sure who was responsible for this wonderful world (Tom Jones? Neil Armstrong?) I answered Frank Sinatra in the nick of time... Can't win them all. ;P

My all time favourite of this type is the one from a Liverpool Radio Station where the presenter is trying really, really hard to steer the contestant to answer the name of the German football team Borussia Monchengladbach. I dont know if you've heard it, but it is simply brilliant. It makes me cry with laughter, every time I hear it. Here[^] is a link to that and many other truly hilarious clips from Hold Your Plums (Not rude, think of a fruit machine) with Billy Butler. I challenge you not to laugh.

I'm afraid I'm not laughing. Anyone that runs a website that requires me to install RealPlayer is seriously in need of being sectioned.

Please tell. Is there a problem with RealPlayer, that I should be aware of?

It is a bloated crapware. I never install it on any machine I own. If a site require me, without giving any alternative, it won't be on my list. Period.

I used to download .ram files and convert them to other format. Since long time ( I care not to remember) I stopped doing that. In this day-n-age if a site only provides real audio, I quickly look for the first exit.
