Soft thread split, hard thread split, no-deal thread split. Who gives a sh!t as long as we get a thread split by the 8:31 deadline.

Fairly run of the mill.

Similar, though that was quite a nice change from the previous few, so it was quite good.

At least you didn't say really nice, rick.

'ow's weather Edgbaston next few days, Jules? Or too far out to call?

I saw lots of rain but I might have misread things.

My old English teacher used to hate the word nice, and the way it has been diluted through over use.

How are you, Peej?

Forecast is a bit dodgy for Thursday but OK Friday. After that who knows?

Fine thanks, Rick. And you?

Just chilling out here... nice rain, nice pitter-patter of raindrops. It's really nice.

I'll have a really nice bit of fist thank you very much.

Your moist welcome.
You're most welcome.

Missed dark night fist.

How's things wet with you, Jules? Good vibrations or just your usual pet sounds?

I get around, PJ. Got an interview tomorrow Thursday (better get the right day!).

A sicond fist of the week, very very really nice.

Good luck with today's tomorrow's interview, Julius.

You're on a fist-roll, Galted

I am, I hope to be on a fist every day of this week.

Just realised it's Wednesday and not Tuesday so the fist dream is already over. I've got Julius's condition when it comes to keeping track of the days.

This 'days of the week' thing is all very confusing.

Good luck with the interview, Jules.

Fist

B*llocks, don't even get a hat trick of fists. We'll done, Rick, you were quicker today, but I'm going to learn from this and come back a better poster.

How goes the south? Bit grey and drizzly here

Cloudy and clammy since the heatwave. Have stopped wearing shorts into work which is pretty devastating for the gash and the gays.

Friday fisting...

And a good one it is too.

Sensational southern second.

Middle-land tird.

How'd it go, Jules? Or no idea until you get told?

Further than fourth.

Got a second interview - probably end of next week.

That's good news. With a bit of luck you'll be able to put your redundancy payout into your film company.

If it were up to me I'd give you your own talk show... with a cutting edge backdrop behind the main desk.

I could do that. Money for old rope.

I've just finished the beta version of the web-site. www.sharperproductionsltd.co.uk
We're not really ready to launch yet. Thoughts welcome.

Great start. The "Invest" jumped out at me.

I'm doing exactly the same thing. Website draft is ready next Thursday.
Architecture and infrastructure projects with links to capital raising page on digital asset exchange. Also Fed and State Gov. initiatives. Seamless.

Excellent news, Jules, fingers crossed.

I will have a look at the website when I get a mo.

If you need Terms of usage I knocked some up for a friends website which you could use as a template if need be.



Edit: Website is blocked here at work.

Getting investors will be the hardest part. Not only am I not a salesman, but the bottom line is that most independent films don't make their money back. But a few turn a huge profit. So I have to find people willing to gamble or people who simply would like to see themselves with an Executive Producer credit. We want to start small with short films (5 - 10 mins) on a budget of a couple of thousand pounds, to submit to film festivals. Then work our way up to longer ones, then to feature length. It's a long-term plan.

Do I need a terms of usage? No idea.

Yep, for many reasons, which I wont bore you with here.

But if for no other reason, it covers behinds, and looks more professional.

As I can't access your website at the mo I wont be able to describe specifics, sorry.

There's a Legal Notice section... can whack the Terms of Usage and Cookie Policy in there.

Yup, that'll do.

Also, if any email or other personal info is required at any stage, whack in a GDPR clause, just std wording will do.

OK. I've got a Legal Notice page with company details but not a privacy policy or cookie policy - although I think a cookie 'Accept' thing pops up be default as part of the service provided by the hosting/website design company - ionos.
I don't sell anything on the site, but there is a contact form and a newsletter subscription so I can potentially collect names and e-mail addresses.

Yeah, you will need a GDPR clause in there, basically stating you will only be using the information for the services described, and won't be passed to a third party, blah blah.

You should find this wording anywhere online (maybe even on here tbh) if not let me know and I will grab something for you.

I would still put in a basic terms of use, but not essential if you are not selling, just for looks as much as anything.

Just had a very quick look at the site on a mobile device, it renders well, and looks good!

Have you tried "Patreon" for investments, also?

If you're pushed for money you could always pass on user information to a third party.

you might need the "TOR" browser for that

I would centre the paragraphs, looks a bit messy. For example, under We Are, Films, We Offer and Music Videos.

Was going to rebuke you for using 'by permission' but apparently that's acceptable. What is this world coming to?

I spent several days pondering about 'by permission'.

Eastern European organised crime gangs pay very well.

Cheers, Super. Now I'll know where to go when I get hold of some information.

Morning, how was everyone's weekend?

Fist

Morning Rick. Fairly dreadful weekend Rick as had to accompany my wife to Dunoon so she could run the half marathon. Mrs Superfly, me and the two kids had to stay at her pal's in-laws' house for 2 nights. Not much of a fan of her pal and husband and hate staying in someone else's house.

Then had to drive from Dunoon to Dundee to drop off my oldest to stay with her gran for a few days.

I hope you had a better time.

Sicond.

I did indeed, spent most of it in the local with friends, on in my own home with Mrs D.

Bit of a grey start to the day, but looks like bucking up.

How did the missus do in the run? Happy with the time?

Turd.

Got some folks from Kilmalcolm (don't ask me what Malcolm did wrong) staying here in September, Superfly... on their way to a wedding in Fiji.
What a global trek that will be!

How did the missus go... was her time OK?

Hiya Rick.

Hi all.

I had a f*cking excellent weekend. On Friday Galtova fronted up to me and asked if I noticed anything new. I managed to correctly guess that it was her necklace and so had a relatively strop-free weekend.
