Comments on This Episode

I still don’t understand why the “download” button links to a page that cannot be accessed:

If the link will not work, it should be disabled.  I DO have flash enable for my browsers, but I don’t think an mp4 file is a flash file, or is it?

I concur. The download link above gives an error when you try to click on it. It is not to do with flash, it is a problem with the design of the web page on the server side.

Roy / Ian -

We are working on disabling the links - Our team has been running around so much trying to capture everything that it is impossible for us to code in all our usual formats.  We’ll let everyone know when that is functioning.  Please let me know if you are not able to watch at all and we will try and get you something that works.  Thanks so much for tuning in and keeping on us.

Best,

Brian

Brian—oh, I see, thanks for the explanation. It’s just the recent entries from NO that have some of the alternative video formats missing, and they will presumably be updated later on?

I can watch the default streaming version fine, so no problem there.

Sorry if the above comment sounded terse, I was just making the observation in case people thought there might be something wrong with their browser.

Cheers!

I’ve heard this story about the origin of the word “cocktail” being associated with the sazerac but there is no written record of the sazerac before the first decade of the twentieth century.  There is however written record of the word cocktail before then.  Why does this story keep going?
