Strata manager just doesn’t respond to emails or calls, years behind in fees

I live overseas and have been chasing our strata manager for a long time to get everything up to date with our fees and insurance - our insurance wasn’t even paid until recently when it was questioned. One other owner has expressed concern but the rest are fine with this … weird arrangement. Problem is, I literally know nothing about strata, and I don’t know what to do. I haven’t paid strata fees in 3 years. I have no idea how much is in a fund, or what it’s called. There is, as far as I am aware, no maintenance being done on the properties. What steps can I take to make this problem better (the manager, when he does respond, always leads with “as you know my cancer treatment has been keeping me busy”, which I sympathise with but his job isn’t being done full stop).

Asked by TH “Star Sits” to feature my home, I said no

I received this email that requested the use of my images in advertising for TH. I said no in response to the email, but wondering if there’s some kind of clause or terms that’ll let them use it anyway? They didn’t even offer a discount or sweetener, lol just straight up want to use my home to show off their website to sell to more HO.

How to find *that* balance - 1st AD

I just did my first role as a 1st AD (literally my first time on set). I’m not a shy person, and the role suits me in theory, and my previous jobs feel transferable. But I was told at certain points during the shoot that I was either coming off too strong, or not strong enough. Obviously, experience would help get the balance right, but I’d love to hear from others what a good balance of getting the set on track while not pissing everyone off looks like, to you.

I came to London for a film, and quit when I realised the conditions- now I have a whole weekend free and no idea what to do, suggestions?

I’ve lived in London, visited multiple times so tourist stuff is OUT not interested in that, nor shopping - the only thing I can think of is the cinema but there’s only so many movies I can see.
My flight home is Monday evening so I have a bit of time, I’m alone and don’t necessarily want to meet up with old friends.
Any suggestions welcome.

Is it reasonable to expect a small investment back if the film makes money?

I don’t want to give many details - but what would you consider reasonable as an investor in a film who’s also working for free. This is specific to uk film making.

Should I try to change/cancel or suck it up

I am the primary booking person for my family trips and usually manage to book things pretty well, but I think I’ve fucked up on our upcoming July RV trip from Vancouver to Calgary.

It’s just this one part of the trip I’ve booked that I either need to amend, cancel or keep as is :

We’ll spend a night at a whistler rv park

Then (here’s the error I believe) I’ve booked 1 night in pine grove campground in kamloops

And

Already booked the next night in wells gray tv resort

So we’d have to drive from whistler to just north of the kamloops in one day, only spend one night there before moving slightly north the next day.

I *think* what I need to do is move pine grove and wells up by 1 day each, and add a stop between whistler and pine grove.

Or is the drive from whistler to pine grove (kamloops) doable in a rv including stops for pics and lunch etc.

Any advice appreciated.
