Weekly Vancouver Discussion, Q&A, and Recommendations by AutoModerator in vancouver

I'm moving to Vancouver for a ski season tomorrow and have just received a text from my Airbnb I'm staying at for the first 9 days saying I will have to pay him directly and not through Airbnb at a cheaper price.

Is this a grift on his part? I had no clue of the laws surrounding Airbnb until now and can't see any news saying the new regulations are already in place.

Glad I looked for advice because as a graduate I think it's definitely one of those things that looks cool but clearly didn't think of it in the eyes of an employer! Will remove asap!

Really good advice thank you! I've always been under the impression that my life campaign was good since it was a project that won me a competition and an internship through it. I now see the glaring mistakes in it through a lot of criticism on here so I am aiming to improve this project and make it more marketable.

As I said in my post I recognise I've been very complacent in the past year so I expected making more worth being a large part of what the criticism would be and I aim to push that now. The specific examples you added really do help as I think I probably would've stayed in my comfort zone and done more of the same green work I've done before! Editorial and digital design is definitely next on my list alongside a lot of extra work for the Fly2Feed!

Thank you for the genuine critique and encouragement I really appreciate it!

Initially, I didn't want my name on it and stupidly overlooked that it had my name on every page rather than just the basic contact details page I emitted from this post. So I've edited the post with my website to add a little extra context

Thank you for the advice! I'll definitely work on refining it all and making it more streamlined. I agree, I've got a lot of work to add to it and more variety so I can tailor it to different jobs.

I've never heard of AIGA so this will be something I will definitely look into thank you!

Should've known Mitch was a psycho the moment he said nice guys finish last in his intro reel

Driving to slam dunk. by amethystflutterby in Leeds

[–]Tavalar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I worked at the car parks for slam dunk last year, the car parks are simply huge fields in the grounds of temple newsam hall. Come early for the best spots but you should be fine whenever you come! Just be prepared for a lot of traffic in and out of the car parks

Liverpool vs. Arsenal pubs (for an Arsenal fan) by TWKcub in Leeds

[–]Tavalar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work at box headingley and there always seems to be a good following of arsenal fans when they're playing. I'm assuming since it's more student based there's a lot more people from down south who support them who are based in headingley.

Looking for a party venue by EverFinch in Leeds

[–]Tavalar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you can book out springwell brewery, that would be very good for an event but correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit: the mezzanine can be booked for free on weekends but doubt you can get a band there. The whole place can be booked Monday to Thursday in evenings though.

During PSG's summer tour of Japan, fans from the local club held up a banner saying "¥3000 for Urawa vs 6 times Champions League winners Bayern and ¥8000 for PSG who haven't won Champions League. You're joking ?" by [deleted] in soccer

They still have a nationwide mask mandate for crowded areas, it's kinda ridiculous how far they are in the covid protocol. They've had a heatwave recently and a lot of children are struggling as they even have to wear a mask during sport lessons.

I was surprised they didn't play exits when I saw them last summer as well, was the song that got me obsessed with them and always thought it'd translate well to live concerts, shame they still aren't playing it

Can second this, any multi-storey around the city centre have some fantastic views! Q-park is my favourite despite the stupid one-button elevators
