Vote: Online certs. Yes or No?

Because a lot of producers can be reached because I know a lot of them look here and it works because a lot of them have responded in private.

Thats all that matters. I made my points clear from the outset and told people not ot respond here but they couldnt be arsed so here we are.

You always know what to expect with the BGAFD.

Am I popular for it? Probably not but I dont give a fuck. Ive got tunnel vision right now.

If I listened to all the criticisms I probably be a vicar living a double life seeing prostitutes instead of being in th efront lines balls out swinging in the wind shooting it.

Unfortunately taking shit comes with the job and Ive had my fair share over the years.

Hey Samsung: One condesecending response deserves another and get your facts right: UKAP have nothing to do with the awards and better still, Ive put the old camera in the cupboard and got a new Hi Def set up so suck dat biyatch!

Hows that for condescending...Oh no..BGAFD admin is coming this way....Nooooo!

Seriously though. Quit with the stupid posts.

In fact this thread will be getting stupid from now on because all the intelligent ones have been done already.

I would advise the moderator to close this down now and willinvite all those who want to be my friends or enemy to ocme over on my silly little forum because I really need friends.

I really do !tut!

When I had my tests done at the GUM clinic, I was advised that they are not allowed to inform my GP of any of the results without my permission and signature. They are bound by confidentiality, so providing you have never been tested at your GP's surgery they wont know anything about the tests.

So therefore when you take out a life insurance policy they will go to your GP for your records and your GUM clinic tests are not on your records.

So just wondering how they will know anything about the tests unless this new database gets stolen etc.

So providing its handled correctly and everyone is protected I think its a good idea to protect everyones health and make lives easier in the long run.

Why are you so eager to dismiss fans' views? Some people care about the exploitation of kids in sweatshops before buying their next pair of Nikes, and some care about how the turkeys are kept before xmas. Aren't fans allowed to decide if they want to spend their money on only productions where they are sure the performers' health and welfare was of the utmost importance?

I think that dismissing the people who pay so easily says a lot.

Everyone appreciates transparency and a voice, Terry.

[Sam Slater]

Oh come on Terry! You asked for opinions and got them. Each answer you've not liked so far you've criticised them for posting on the wrong forum.....or they're not in the industry.....or they're just being silly.

Your attitude is exactly why this debate should be on an open, impartial forum from a wide range of people.

Sam Slater: I dont like ignorant answers where the poster has clearly no idea of what they are talking about. I doubt they even read the link where this thread originated from.

Ive been perfectly reasonable with most but when you get Isabelle Kaye trying to turn my efforts into some excuse to get friends over to the forum without knowing that a lot of support has also been from people who are not even members of UKAP and Samsung turning this into a personal issue when it was he himsef (or she) that made the initial smart ass condescending comment to begin with.

Does it not make you wonder why producers and models rarely come on here because a sensible post can easily turn into a charade real quick here.

this is intersting to me right now as im in talks with the FSA over certain questions that have been asked in a insurance application ive just made. My old insurer asked the same questions too.

i was under the impression from the GU clinics that they cant ask certain questions like "have u ever had a hiv test?" or " have u ever had any STIs?"

i was told the only question they can legally ask is "are u HIV positive?"
of which i have no problems answering that one.

Will let u know what the FSA say. the insurers said they wont insure me until i answer the questions as it means they havent got full disclosure or something equally fudgy.

actually i'll let the models know over on the models only forum on UKAP as its only they who are affected. my findings dont need to be posted on a fan forum.
