The Fretboard Funds.

Handsome_Chris

Have all the donations been spent? If not is there plan for use of the spare change?  I'm talking about for charitable purposes 'n' stuff.  You consider that we have forumites without a decent toaster 'n' all.

None of the donations have been spent.

I'll post "accounts" monthly, probably end-of monthish, so you can all see what's been raised and spent.  Thus far we've managed to beg, borrow or open-source everything that we've needed.

Lady BMcH says that as she came up with the name, the funds should go towards buying her a puppy. Or four.

Luckily (for you), TEmp Fab has probably just been done for speeding again, and is now locked in the deepest darkest dungeonist dungeon in Wales, so you might just get away with that ...

Maybe we should offer to pay Emp's fines, and bail him out of the nick?

I believe that Emp ihasn't been done yet. I think that he's going to fight the law, so to speak.

Actually, he suggested "fretboard", which lacks elegance and panache.

Well, it should have been "LeFretboard" then.

Howsabouts we offer to pay the B&B costs that he incurs whilst languishing at her majesty's pleasure ...

Be better to smuggle him in some Vaseline to make life easier.

That sounds a bit too anglicised to me.

Babelfish suggests:

le jury de la frette

or

la planche de la frette

The 'The' was implied.  Buy me some puppies.

Isn't one dog pissing on your towel enough Emp?

Sorry have I missed this? Is there a need for funds... Have you got something set up? I am happy to contribute a penny or two to the pot as fully appreciate the creation of this forum
I note a comment about paypal . Is doing this legal, does collecting contributions complicate things?
Anyway happy to put in .

TTony

We're not "short" because we've not actually had to spend anything (yet) to get this forum up & running.  

But we did receive a number of generous contributions from various peeps which I'm looking after in a PayPal account against the day when we do need to buy some software or some server or a Caribbean island (for me). 

Nothing dodgy about any of it - just the easiest way for people to send ££s!
