You couldn't open it? Hmm, it works fine when I click on it. You can find it here along with my other videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/Andy80o/videos

Sorry 'sff' - but which one is it ? + Handy if you give a title for your 'forum-posted' video.

Takk for det. Bo godt.

The video's called "Richard Dawkins on Altruism and The Selfish Gene"

alt. link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8C-ntwUpzM (It's now the link in the post as well)

Are you still not able to watch it?

Thanx 'sff' but strange that I can't play it as I'm just across The North Sea from you !! I know Dawkins & his ideas & hv 2/3 of his books. He coined the term 'meme' too, I believe in 'TSG'. Thanx anyway & ...

SOLIDARITY.

Thanx for your efforts friend but still can't watch it & I think that it is a UK C4 'in region' block. No worries. Take care ; stay well ; stay aware :-)
