A great little film on the BBC web site. Talking about cutting hair and taking photographs, I love the line "One feeds my body and the other one feeds my soul".

Nice one Nigel.

Wow, Nigel; this was an absolute peach! Thanks very much for posting it here. 83 years old and super together with a wonderful manner and a ton of fascinating photos. Whattaguy!

Also, did you spot "Italian Sausage Hero" during the clip? Classic. It's a shame you can't embed the footage here.

Yeah, I know. And I can't rip it either. I would have really loved to keep this for the days I feel like crap. It's heart warming to see a guy in his 80 still have so much fun and still be so "on".

Francois you try a screen capture app, not quite as slick as downloading I know but it works. I've used an open source one before but I can't remember the name.

I'm going to try and get it using the Onion Router. I hope they have proxys in the UK.

OK, I ended up using mediahint to watch it and recorded the screen using Camstudio. The trick to getting the audio is to select record from microphone and set the recording source in the volume menu to stereo mix... not obvious but it works.
