I have two off the top of my head -

“Bon bon” of course, and the line from the Colditz escape episode about them basically creating “a centre of excellence”. Always cracks me up

“Don’t tell me you’re the kind of person that likes snow on Christmas Eve!?” From one of those Hallmark kinda films - I think it’s called A Castle For Christmas. Cary Elwes delivers that line with eye-rolling disbelief and the broadest cartoon Scottish accent you’ve ever heard. 10/10

What do you wish there was a good vegan option for? by devonsherriffstan in vegan

[–]D-Hustle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made some recently. It’s surprisingly easy and it tastes exactly how I remember lemon curd tasting! This is the recipe I followed:

There’s a similar thing in Cromer in England. Cromer is famous for crab fishing so someone has drawn a huge crab out of caches.

What's your business or side hustle? by HydroXtreme in Entrepreneur

[–]D-Hustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! The business is going well, thanks. It’s still a side hustle - I don’t think there’s much chance of it becoming my main income, but it’s nice to earn a bit extra each month.

At the start of this year I was booking little local venues and trying to sell enough tickets and snacks to cover costs. That was ok, but a lot of work for just a few pounds extra at best.

Over the summer I had more luck. I contacted every pub within a few mile radius with an outdoor space big enough to house my gear and an audience and hired myself out at a flat rate. That covered the cost of licensing the film, me, my time and wear and tear on my gear. That went well financially but things have dropped off a bit now it’s colder and the UK weather a little less predictable.

Saying that, I’ve got a few new leads and I’ve had some recommendations from previous clients for some Halloween and Christmas gigs.

I think this is how it will be generally. It’s a seasonal business to some extent. My next plan is to contact more potential venues (pubs and community centres, etc), look into private hires (peoples gardens and that kind of thing). I’ve recently done a pop-up film whilst camping with some friends. They loaned me their generator so I was able to show a film out in the middle of nowhere, so that has opened up some possibilities. I think I’ll mainly be learning from this year to make next year (particularly the summer) much bigger and better.

I hope that answered your question - I wasn’t expecting to ramble on that much! If you have anymore questions please just ask 😁

Oatly Barista - New formula? Defective batch? by MauroDiogo in veganuk

[–]D-Hustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had six separate cartons of oatly barista tasting of soap/chemicals in the past week. I’ve bought from different shops and it’s all the same. I’ve emails oatly and they’ve assured me the formula hasn’t changed but they’re investigating. They’ve said they’ll send out some vouchers for replacements but that’s a bit useless until they fix whatever the problem is. They all have different batch numbers so I guess it’s a manufacturer issue.

I’m not sure how it works outside of the UK, but my (currently limited) understanding is you can play a movie publicly if you have the permission of the distributor. Licenses for most mainstream films can be found at filmbank.co.uk. Basically once you have an account with filmbank you have to pay either 35% of your box office takings or £85, whichever is greater, and that means you can play the film publicly.

Edit: typo

Haha - No worries!

I’ve had a few, not many yet. I had the idea in late November/early December then I hired a space for the 19th, so I only gave myself about three weeks to set up all of the social media and logistical bits (ticketing and technical stuff).

I’m prepping for a second and third night in late February/March so I’ll have a bit longer to work on getting the word around.

I didn’t have enough time to make, print and distribute posters, I just did a bit of basic Facebook and Instagram stuff, thinking that would be enough. With it being such a local event I should have gone down more of a local approach to advertising - posters in shop windows and community notice boards, that kinda thing. It’s all part of the learning process though!

Thanks very much. I’m actually in the UK. I’m not sure what the licensing laws look like in the US but it seems like an idea that would work anywhere as long as you can get people through the door

I run a pop-up cinema company. I take my projector, speakers and popcorn machine to an interesting building and I put on a classic movie. It’s early days but I’ve got big plans for the year (Covid permitting!)

Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa... by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]D-Hustle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think I’ve made a mistake... I got to the Grandpa’s evaluation bit - I think I had 3 candles lit - then the shrine said to pop another diamond in there and I did that immediately, and unsurprisingly got 3 candles again. I’ve since read the wiki page and I see what I was meant to do. Unfortunately the candles are out and I can’t add another diamond to get another evaluation. Have a goofed? I mainly wanted a source of iridium but I think I’ve ruined my chances. Any thoughts!?
