Merry, your comment on the contest page made me smile. (that's a teaser, folks. If you want to know what she said you have to go look. If you go look, maybe comment, play the video or even VOTE)

Thanks, Frank. I had been back to the video and noticed my error. Endless errors. . . .

One good thing, however, about cognitive dysfunction is that I can watch the video over and over and chuckle at the same things. I forget what's coming!

Fantastic that our new turnip is doing so well! I've belatedly updated my sig - I see we've got just until next Wednesday now to drum up more support. Exciting!

I can't reach the people of the What About ME documentary, but if they also want to put this on their facebook page, that would make a huge difference.

The producer is Susan Douglas at susan@digitaldocumentaries.co.uk according to this thread on it. Maybe you've already tried her, though!

It would be good to get more support. I wonder how many votes are between our turnip and the first prize? It looks as though the videos also have to be judged (maybe that's just to check that they've followed the remit).

Yes i've contacted Susan but she hasn't replied in three days. (I read they went filiming in Norway)

To clarify, i think there is also a judging round comming. So i don't think a first place automatically means a first prize and so on.. But being in the Top 5 looks like a minimum + collecting lot's of comments and views.

Looking at YouTube, 1st place [Believe ... it was the night before Christmas] has 546 views. So I presume it doesn't haven't any more votes than that and possible a bit less. Turnips for Netipot has 516 views.

I went thru and recorded views- some I couldn't find, but this was interesting
#1 546
#2 ?
#3 518 (us):victory:
#4 262
#5 ?
#6 14
#7 78
#8 56
That first number was a couple off from what you saw, but in general I think we are doing really well.

I have been posting the link for others to vote, but the link comes to a page where it has already been voted so people may vote for a different video . Is there a link that a person can click on vote?
