I gave up too, but I'm in the US and wasn't surprised at the sound quality. But I am surprised that it was no better for the UK  :P

I think it was a worldwide problem no matter where you were.  We have very fast broadband and it was still bad. :-\

Just had a listen to the uploaded one on YouTube and it's better than the live one.  Here is the link if anyone wants to have a relisten/watch

I can't get the Youtube to open, it just says it will be starting shortly.

Added: Got it, it doesn't start until about 3 minutes in.

Sorry, life's too short to waste time trying to follow that, hopefully they will issue a transcript.

But in Groom's defence it is rather difficult to follow with the sound as it is :-\ ;D

Ah well and so week 1 of our course ends. Let's see what next week has in store for us ;) ;D

It's a shame as the end bit, where the person from the university thanked people for taking part, was really clear.
