Well, hot dang! Youtube decided I get more time. They sent me a note last week: Congratulations! You can upload videos longer than 15 mins.

More Punchycards April 14, 2013
A couple of weeks ago I made a quick impromptu trip up to the town of Macclesfield, just south of Manchester. I went to see this: Now that’s an actual punchycard room! It’s the Paradise Silk Mills, which is more than worth a visit, if you’re nearby (call first though, their opening hours are […]
