This is a great streamlined reminder of what a Harold is! I forgot, and now I remember. Thanks! (I also hate that music 😂)

[@PVImprov]

Thanks for watching...in spite of the music.

[@christopherotto5433]

Interesting, thanks for explaining all this, but I HATE CHEERFUL UKULELE-GLOCKENSPIEL MUSIC MORE THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE

[@PVImprov]

Christopher Otto yikes! Then you must REALLY liked the video. If you want to watch more, the first 9 episodes are cheerful music free - they were made when I was a guest in a gulag. Thanks for watching!

Yes, this is a time code that appears in this video. Is there a question or warning or mysterious missive to go with it?

[@PVImprov]

Cryptic.

[@auntoyaburrido]

Please, how can I read this in Spanish? could you translate it to spanish please

[@PVImprov]

That is a great idea - sadly, I don't speak spanish and would be NO help in that project. If someone wants to undertake it I'd be happy to collaborate.

[@EthelChop]

The music is atrocious. The information is good. Please can you remove the music. It does your head in.

[@PVImprov]

There has to be one thing wrong or it would crash the internet - thanks for sticking with it in spite...
