I received the birthday parcel. I recorded a video of me opening the parcel. I tried half a dozen times to upload the video and the bon of a sitch website wouldn’t let me. It kept getting to either 80% or 93% and then it would stop.
I am going to keep trying however for now you will have to make do with the “amazing” thumbnail I have made.
What a marvel.

It’s still being a fucking turd (and it’s really not worth it).
Uploading videos to the Beans is a fool’s errand. It wants them in a weird specific format understood only by Bill Gates and Gandhi. Bung it on YouTube is my advice, YouTube is a right old tart that’ll accept any video you throw at it.
If you ask Kev nicely he’ll give you access to upload it to the Beans YouTube channel.
(Also this promo pic is brilliant and I did a big laugh at work.)
This is excellent, and if you ever upload it somewhere we can see the video in all its mysterious glory.
It’s been in the works for a solid two weeks now, so when this video does finally turn up it’s going to be amazing.
I’m trying to upload it again and it’s still scurrying around in the dirt looking for a lost contact lens.
I guess tarty YouTube it is.
Tarty YouTube is the way forward. Forget videos on the Beans, it’s not worth the bovs.
I never knew I didn’t have the bovs until I tried uploading a video to our website. I’m also still a little unsure as to what the bovs are.
It’s short for bovines. It’s not worth the bovines. As in, don’t bother trading any of your herd of prize Angus cattle for it, because it wouldn’t represent good value.
So not bovril then? Don’t go using up any bovril as nobody would appreciate it?
Come to think of it, who does appreciate bovril?
Kate quite likes it, and good for her, I say. For my part I politely refuse to engage with it, and if Bovril tries to start a conversation I pretend that I’m taking an urgent phone call.
There was a lady at work some time ago who loved it and, in a bid to sway me, gave me a sachet of it so I could enjoy it too. To my discredit I never used that sachet because the idea of a hot, beefy drink does not sit well with me.
Ah, no, in our house it is never made in to a hot beefy drink. That way trouble lies. No, it gets used as a sort of extremely savoury spread. Like marmite, but beefier.
