How did you get the screenshot?

Probably by converting my rm file to an avi and copying the image.

This reminds me of the magnetic symbols that didn't stick to Michael Fish's weather map! Does anyone remember that blooper? I also recall Ian McCaskill once walked to a weather map bearing the word 'GOF' instead of 'FOG'! Oh, and the fly that once walked over the Leeds skyline camera in the middle of Hud the Stud's lunchtime weather forecast once! I remember Paul saying 'I wonder where that's just come from?'

Does anyone remember any other meteorological bloopers?

Im guessing you got the picture from Real PLayer clip?
If so how do you capture it from the real player file?

Convert the Real file into an AVI using Tinra. Open the AVI file. pause it at the point you want to capture, and press 'Print Scrn'. The open something like Paint, select the image, copy it and save it as a jpeg file. Upload to forum.

There you have it - thats the way I do it anyhow!

What I'm wondering is how did Rob know that this was gonna happen? He couldn't have captured it at the whim.

So come on Rob tell us the truth.
I bet you've got about a hundred tapes of News 24 output!!

Rob, are you planning to open up a News 24 fan club?

LOL, yeah I think I will Katherine!!

No, while Parkinson was on I thought I'd set the tape for the world news overnight, as I'd not watched it for ages, and therefore hadn't seen Heather McCarthy for ages. Luckily I set it for the 0100 bulletin!!

It really is sheer luck when I manage to get mistakes! I am rather luck with this though! I also managed to capture live once when Breakfast played out the titles without 'BREAKFAST' at the end of them!
