WD - Let me know exactly what it is that needs lubricating and I'll have a root around my shed, there probably a tin of something I could water down, decant into some tiny but attractively packaged bottles, to add (with an exhorbitant markup) to the PlectraStand range.
WV - Let me know exactly what it is that needs lubricating I can only apologise for our marketing department's oversight in not identifying you as a potential endorser. They have all been sacked. We are starting work on the Wild Violet Signature Edition now (it will be very similar to the Chesterton Signature Edition, but the presentation box will have a picture of a flower or something on it - will that do?).

That will do.... for now. I will need some serious ***kissing though to make up for the previous department's failure to acknowledge my greatness.

Joe, if this innovation turns out to get its deserved attention by all U.K. based guitar players, you might consider expanding your business. Due to my very good relations to retailers in all of mid Europe I'm quite sure that I am the right sales agent for the continent for a business roll out. Think about it.

Funny you should mention that, @bernd, you're mentioned in a song I have written (but not yet recorded) in exactly that capacity... waiting for the snow

Whilst I'm pleased that you took mine and Keith's advice on board, I am worried that we won't be recompensed for our ideas. It's quite clear that this innovation is a goldmine, so I think we need to sit down and discuss percentages.

I've already taken the precaution of setting the wheels in motion - ................. Whatever, Joe, just get your people to contact my people to work out the fine details and percentages etc. Keith ...so if you just get your people to interface with my people and Joe's people then I'm sure that with some blue sky thinking there'll be some ideas to run up the flagpole going forward.

Very reasonable of you rodders What sort of percentage would you be demanding?

Me and Keith, or Keith and I, should get 80% each.

Of course, Mr. Hartley has no knowledge of the potential patent infringement, as yet. If there could be, perhaps, some small consideration for the maintenance of the status quo ?

People have mocked me for being a late adopter (just because I've only just 'upgraded' from a Ferguson Videostar), so I'd like to prove them wrong and pre-prepare a pre-order. Never let it be said I don't know how to push an envelope.

Due to my very good relations to retailers in all of mid Europe I'm quite sure that I am the right sales agent for the continent for a business roll out. Think about it. I have been thinking about this Bernd, I was very concerned that some of the European legislation that requires objects to be "free of abnormal curvature" could wrap the PlectraStand in red tape. So it would be great to have someone in Europe handling these issues directly, someone who could be accountable for legal action, pay any fines and/or serve time in prison deal with the local bureaucracy would be a great help. I will get the necessary paperwork drawn up and faxed over asap.

Me and Keith, or Keith and I, should get 80% each. I think I have arrived at a formula which arithmetically should ensure that both Rodders and Keith can both receive 80% of the remaining earnings, after my own expenses, royalties, and fiduciary stipends have been deducted. Paperwork is being drawn up as we speak.

Only the very brave or foolish would attempt blackmail on a public forum; I like your style! Shall we say, 4 PlectraStand Deluxe models? Please refer to the previous information re postage and packaging, and I will pass this to our delivery team as soon as funds are cleared.
