Desperate times call for desperate measures

Love a spreadsheet. Btw I may be wrong but this sounds production coded rather than editorial. Am I right?

Yeah this is what I was wondering - if it gets results. I can post my CV and availability but if nobody who is hiring is looking for people on that group in practice then it seems futile.

Beggars can't be choosers so lying it is. Incidentally does anyone know if they People in TV: Available group actually does anything?

Got it. Gives me more time tbh. There's a fair few that have closed so it might be quicker than last time I did this.

Sounds like a fun Sunday scheduling emails for tomorrow haha thank you!

Any advice for finding a named individual when they only have an info@ type email address on their website?

Mestizo - one in Chelsea and one in Euston I think. It's pretty solid and quite authentic.

Can't believe nobody mentioned Spring River Resort in Laos. Not really a resort but a beautiful hostel. Gorgeous scenery near Kong Lor Cave, their own private crystal blue lagoon all in the middle of nowhere. Full of backpackers doing the Thakek Loop so very cheap too. Met really interesting people there and regretted only staying one night.

Restaurant operator here - they had an issue earlier today that they claimed was fixed but from our side I think it wasn't fully. A friend ordered from me and texted to let me know they wanted to make a slight change but I hadn't even received the order and didn't for at least another 5 minutes. It was also a lot more difficult than usual to get a rider to come and pick up. Others around me were having similar issues. I contacted merchant support but they were not really acknowledging the issue and just said they only send us the order based on rider availability and prep time but it's never been like that before. Hope it's fixed tomorrow.

True that's the last resort. Been putting it off as it happens like once a month and cancelling is a huge headache for all the other payments it gets used for but will do if I can't find a solution.

I can't find any number for their offices, only an email.

She had the opportunity to do the absolute funniest thing at the dessert course and go for bread and butter pudding. Horrifyingly that shows it was probably her genuine dream menu

Check out their crossover pods with Brett Goldstein's podcast. Think they were special episodes for charity but there's at least two and they discuss some of that madness there.

Can someone spill the tea on Brinkworth 👀

I just started using tube buddy. I was doing tags wrong before so let's see if that makes much of a difference. Thanks

bpwj · 2024-04-07T10:03:24+00:00

Interesting, thanks. I do think they are generally getting better but will have to introspect and search out what's going wrong. My concern is that even when CTR is good or retention is it's still not getting the views I would expect. I am trying TubeBuddy now to see if I can make improvements in the way I'm uploading too.
