Unfortunately my oldest and infact first ever attempt at video making from way back in 2006 cannot be made to comply with regulations so I will be forced to remove or at least make it a private video so it doesn't interfere with my plans to become a YouTube Partner.
The video in question is a CSI parody based around a song written by my old flatmates AKA the band called The Martians - and that song was called Geoff Killed a Pigeon. Yes it's the very same Geoff I have mentioned previously in this blog and it is based on a true story about when Geoff managed to run over a wild pigeon with his bicycle, squishing it beyond repair and then being forced to kill it to end it's suffering. The pigeon carcass was then spotted by one our flatmates and because he found out Geoff had caused it's death decided it was only appropriate to immortilise the mocking in song.
I wasn't yet a flatmate at this point but I too had spotted the dead pigeon in question by chance and after finding out it was Geoff, I searched for a few funny pigeon related images and decided to make a CSI parody about the whole incident detailing the "murder" investigation and generally teasing Geoff a bit more about it.
Now looking back this video was shockingly dreadful but it amused me greatly at the time and got me started on YouTube even if I wouldn't properly utilise it until more recently, and in the past 6 years that sad pathetic little video has only received 160 views whilst my Mobility Scooter assembly/disassembly tutorial which was only intended for the person who was buying my Dad's mobility scooter has managed to rack up over 2000 views in the last 2 years and 193 of those views were in the last month alone!

Dude, it was an accident, I didn't mean it, I feel bad, let it go. If it wasn't for that bloody song I'd have let it drift from my mind and wouldn't have to deal with the crippling guilt.
What about finding a band's cover version and using that instead? Covers cover the legal aspect as long as you have the performer's permission I believe.
In other news, seeing as I'm typing from the future (re-read this in 2022 and see...):
Experimental fusion power on the commercial grid but isn't economical yet.
After a diplomatic incident involving a drunken Edinburgh student, a bottle of whisky and a tube of KY Jelly, Scotland is no longer the home to any pandas.
The Standard Model still rules (they'll announce finding the Higgs on Nov 8th 2012) and supersymmetry has been confirmed. Gravity and time are still somewhat confusing.
Britain still has a hung parliament, but it's 79% independents and all seems to be working rather nicely.
Deaths due to networked glasses stand at around two thousand a year in the UK. Most people reckon Charles Darwin had a point.
Love,
Future Geoff
