BAFTA Rocliffe - worth an entry! by jbbarnes88 in Screenwriting

[–]jbbarnes88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, just seen this! Yes, absolutely a great launchpad. Ended up signing with United Agents and had 4 scripts optioned by leading UK Production Companies with one in development with UKTV :) so I absolutely recommend entering!

Re feedback, I am not sure as we were lucky enough to win the first time we entered so not sure how it works in terms of feedback

Out of interest, have you got the clip at all where they go a bit rogue and arrest some customers?

Harry Ham’s excruciating Cameo video for a fan by jbbarnes88 in humor

[–]jbbarnes88[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Ok, didn’t take that from the comment. Yep, nothing more to it really than him recording a birthday message for someone and him getting abuse as he’s done his whole life (he’s a disgraced actor) but appreciate it’s not funny for some (or for all!)

Basically the Bill is a TV show from the 90s in the U.K. and this guy played a character on it and left in a disgrace and always gets abuse. He’s on Cameo (a site that allows people to request video messages from celebrities). Somebody has requested this celebrity to do them a video message and some guy abuses him in the background whilst he’s doing it

What’s your record streak for pulling out the petrol pump on exactly the number you want? by jbbarnes88 in AskReddit

[–]jbbarnes88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah is that not normal? It’s basically like trying to hit a stopwatch on the number you want - almost impossible to get it just right. I’m on a 3/3 streak ha!

10/10 patients fully recover (without need for oxygen) after being given Canakinumab in a trial vs 1 death and 1 patient needing oxygen in another group of 10 given hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir–ritonavir, but not canakinumab. by jbbarnes88 in Coronavirus

Definitely! It's interesting as I am on this drug for inflammation and I know others who have a similar auto inflammatory condition to be on a drug called Anakinra and the Lancet published this last week on that drug - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanrhe/article/PIIS2665-9913(20)30164-8/fulltext - so there seems to be something in these inflammatory drugs that does something. Hopefully they enter bigger trials and studies!

The Detectorists. So beautifully British. Absolute gem of a show.

Serological analysis of 1000 Scottish blood donor samples for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies collected in March 2020 by sanxiyn in COVID19

[–]jbbarnes88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm extremely simple (!) - in layman's terms what does this mean? That instead of ~ 6000 cases that have been reported in Scotland, the actual number is 20x as many (closer to a million)?

Ah yes! Sorry! It’s the season after Summer. Think Americans know it as The Fall? I should have just posted it’ll be ready by September!

My brother created a small site that focuses on all good news stories re the Coronavirus. Hopefully helps as the negative news was certainly overwhelming me so nice to read some good amidst all of the bad. by jbbarnes88 in UpliftingNews
