Im just really looking forward to getting back into the brass band world. Its been a long time and i forgot how much i missed it when looking though my mates photos.

My cousin had a little boy today! im soo proud of her. he was 9 pounds but is still nameless. well shes not my proper cousin, shes my second cousin once removed but family all the same and were quite close because we have grown up together. Her grandad my dads cousin lives round the corner. I cant wait to meet the little fella, he looks gorgeous!

Sadly, she still won't agree, so the publishers have to print the book again without her photo. It could take another four weeks.

Her photo would not normally be in the public domain, no. She was my secretary for a couple of years at the BM, that's why I wanted to have her photo in the book. Quite frankly I have no idea why she is so anti-having her photo published. It's a nice photo of her I think.

Well, us ladies very rarely like photos of ourselves. Don't understand the publishers though, I thought they would need to obtain permission from all people who are going to feature in a book before it goes to print?

[Abigail]

As long as reasonable efforts have been made to contact the person and there is a disclaimer in the book to such an effect, they can go ahead and print it.

Norman, would this woman have noticed that her photo was in the book had you not told her?

[parkerman]

Getting permission is something I've never done before. I've had a number of books published with photos of living people in them and no-one has ever suggested before I should get their permission and no-one has ever objected or complained before.

I'm fairly sure she would have seen her photo. Actually I would have told her about the book myself and invited her to my book launch. But even if she didn't come I expect someone would have mentioned it to her.

Marley came home with a letter from school yesterday about the possibility of going to Paris with the school in June. There is only 40 places available and if she is selelcted I have to pay £200 before Christmas. Anyone want to buy a kidney.
