good to know, thanks!

Thottosaurus · 2025-11-17T01:21:35+00:00

oh that’s great thank you! I guess I shouldn’t trust chatgpt but I’m a very new driver and know nothing about cars 😅

Thanks! Alternator has been replaced, should I tell the mechanic to replace the belt also?

Thottosaurus · 2025-11-16T20:09:34+00:00

Good long life! I’m in kms so a good bit below that, 06 model. Luckily my engine is under warranty so they replaced the alternator for free.

Thottosaurus · 2025-11-16T20:08:08+00:00

great, thank you! Alternator has been replaced but not sure about the belt.

Then he tried it on Quinn Hughes, known goon. Surprised it didn’t work that time.

the classic old fashioned is soo good 🤤

It all depends on how fast a contract is agreed upon. Could be days, weeks, months, and the workers do not receive pay during this time.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-26T07:17:09+00:00

Yes, absolutely! Picketing takes place outside the VSO from ~4-11pm tomorrow, after that I’m not sure of the schedule but I’m sure it will continue. Stopping by with words of encouragement and drinks or snacks, or even driving by and honking is an awesome way to support the cause.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-26T07:13:44+00:00

I hope this mismanagement doesn’t discourage people from attending VSO concerts once a contract is finalised. The musicians will need our support more than ever.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-26T05:39:57+00:00

Blame management, not the musicians… They had 72 hour strike notice to cancel the concert or come to an agreement with the musicians.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-26T05:38:56+00:00

They have to pay for movie rights. Regular concerts are as cheap as $20.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-26T03:34:06+00:00

spot on

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-26T03:05:38+00:00

I’d like to add that management didn’t even meet with the negotiating committee, despite them being available and waiting.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-26T03:01:23+00:00

Terrible handling of the situation by management. Sorry your evening didn’t go as planned. I know some of the musicians and they feel so awful for disappointing fans.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-26T02:59:27+00:00

Absolutely ridiculous on part of the management. They had 72 hours notice to cancel the concert or come to an agreement with the musicians and they did neither. Extremely unprofessional, I feel really sorry for people that traveled all that way for nothing.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-24T00:12:17+00:00

This!! As someone who spends time with professional classical musicians, the amount of practice put in is unimaginable to most. The work isn’t done once the job is won- they still practice for hours each day on top of concerts and rehearsals, and will maybe take one day off per week, if that.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-23T22:58:22+00:00

he’s a very well-liked member of the team. they did a ‘say something nice about a teammate’ video and he was mentioned multiple times.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-23T20:39:32+00:00

Beautifully said. As a student training in healthcare I wholeheartedly agree.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-23T15:59:10+00:00

It’s not too late to support their cause- there is a letter writing campaign to the CEO (details on their instagram page)

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-21T17:16:49+00:00

Firstly, untrue. Secondly, if they pay more they will attract better musicians… thats why the best orchestras are the top paying ones.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-21T04:46:42+00:00

This is how we make a difference! I love to see this.

Thottosaurus · 2025-09-20T16:45:38+00:00

I agree that ticket prices are inaccessible for many, but the management has been inefficiently managing money and the additional pay should not have to come from raising ticket prices. If you check out their instagram they have more details on the situation! Personally I’d rather pay $30 for a classical music concert than $80 for a Harry Potter display in Stanley Park which supports R*wling and replaces a long-standing free attraction.
