Try to imagine me with a big GRIN and the odd laugh and chuckle. (Giggle)
Just been told that my cameras are being used by the Discovery Channel to make a couple of programs in the coming weeks. They need the low light color while working with NVS IR
What they told me seems to be a cross between "Ghost Busters" and "Scoo be Doo" in a well known American 'haunted' town on the East Coast. Not mentioned money yet...
Just had a call from them, wanting five pocket (66 x 66 x 18mm) single channel A/V DVR's... Still no mention of money coming my way. "Money? not my problem DS. Try further up the food chain!"

Thanks for that...
Now to talk to them about money...
Not going to talk 'with' them.
See how far that gets me.
General note: I have pissed off several people on here by swearing in email I have sent them. Not swore AT anyone, just used bad language in conversations; for which I am sorry. Will try to do better!

DS,
I use swear words like nouns, some times they absolutely must be in a sentence to deliver it in the correct format

And talking TO them is the idea pal, I won't try to teach you how to suck an egg.

You have something they want, that has an intrinsic value greater than the sum of the parts.
The REAL value, is your time, your experience and your expertise in delivering something that they need.
Name your price, the only response should be yes, anything else is disrespectful.
 
Colourful nouns, gotta love 'em, I thought about having a swear box but decided against it, with my mouth I'd just empty my wallet in a heartbeat...

Well done mate and TMAC is right with what he states above, it is your time, experience and expertise.

Now hurry up and get over this side of the pond, there's a Guinness waiting for you!

My wife will come over soon and find a house or 'property' up a valley in Welsh Wales, and shortly thereafter a 40 foot container with her shoes and some furniture will be on its way, and if there's any room left I might get some of my stuff in it as well. The female attachment to shoes is in need of some investigation as it is an incurable disease. Men can look a three pairs of women's shoes that to them seem identical to in every way, but to the female owner, they are totally different. Sorry got side tracked.
My problem is what not to take from the office or workshop, as I doubt we will find anything resembling what we have now at any where near our (my) budget. "You don't use half the junk you have in the workshop, or a quarter of what's in the office, so why drag all of that junk with us?" I know better not to mention the 4 sewing machines, embroidery machine, that other machine I have never seen being plugged in, and the ironing boards that fill one of the bedrooms. Not to mention the 35 foot long walk in wardrobe packed tight with clothes I don't remember ever being worn... "I was wearing that yesterday..."
I am looking forward it all being over, but know it will never be over...
Now back to work.
 
Here's something to say... its an old joke, man says to the woman why do you spend so much money on make up, we cant afford it, she replies, it makes me good looking.... the next day she asks him why he spends so much on beer, he replied with the same answer.

DS get over here, don't make me me come over there and get you, I have a yacht here in Ireland and my cousin is a member of team Switzerland clippers. I'll be coming to get you buddy lol ;)

The Discovery Channel has deep pockets. Don't let em low ball you. You got what they need for the best quality and are the sole source. I'd say you hold all the cards. Good luck.
