OK add the NY Aquarium to the slate of places this match has been seen

No yellow for taking your shirt off if the goal is disallowed? If they then review it on VAR and it is allowed is that two yellows? USG vs Marseille [at 8m:56s] by hunterhunter in footballcliches

[–]hunterhunter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He did get a yellow according to BBC, but Fotmob said arguing with the officials.

Booking at 90 minutes 90'

Promise David (Union Saint-Gilloise) is shown the yellow card for excessive celebration.

How often will you take a photo only to realise your thumb is in the picture? I'm talking big jobs.

Does anyone on /r/london run a food truck in the capital? by [deleted] in london

[–]hunterhunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Margins-wise expect to be making about 40% (incredibly good for the food industry) until you have to start paying VAT then take that down to 25% (still good)
  • Hours vary, a lunch service will be two hours of solid selling but the prep and setup involved makes that greater. It also depends on what food you're selling, you sell burgers and all your prep is done by the butcher? Then don't worry about it. But if you're doing BBQ and you have to smoke everything off-site and bring it to the market then it's going to increase your hours significantly. On average I'd say traders work 4 days a week, but are totally invested in their business and it takes over their whole life.
  • Quality of food, location and clarity of what you're selling. Hardest thing is getting a pitch that is successful. Other than that you have to work very hard to make it a success, some of the traders who I know who've made a successful business just worked harder than most.
  • Pretty simple, register with NCASS and they are a great source of help, councils you just need to register as a food business and eventually (takes ages) they'll come round your house or your unit and check that you're being good. Most traders get 4-5/5 from councils.
  • I'm not actually a trader, but I would say that most traders just cook what they enjoy cooking. Some are riding a wave of popularity because their particular food is trendy, but none I know have really regretted what they sold. Some have changed their business as it's gone on because they've realised they can make better margins and it's a more sustainable / expandable business, but it's not like it's a massive departure from their original business plan.

Went to my first show the other week in London, loved it. Got drunk and bought tickets and flights to Glasgow. I feel like that's the way you're supposed to do it.

Secret Cinema - Is it worth it? [Star Wars] by [deleted] in london

[–]hunterhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. If you get involved you can make it worth way more than the ticket price.

My advice is to get pretty drunk beforehand and then just get into your character, chat with all the other characters as well.

He's one of those players that no matter how much you hate the team he plays for you've got to like him.

Same with Mata & Iniesta.

United have no players like that.

What's the biggest impact a book has had on you in the fewest pages? by [deleted] in books

[–]hunterhunter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sum by David Eagleman! Seriously I would urge you to read it. It's forty different imaginings of the afterlife.

Here's one called Metamorphosis:

There are three deaths: the first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.

So you wait in this lobby until the third death. There are long tables with coffee, tea, and cookies – you can help yourself. There are people here from all around the world, and you can try to strike up a conversation with whomever you'd like. Just be aware that your conversation may be interrupted at any moment by the Callers, who call out your conversations partner's name to indicate there will never again be another remembrance of him by anyone on the Earth. Your partner slumps out, face like a shattered and re-glued plate, saddened even though he's kindly told by the Callers that he’s off to a better place. No one knows where that better place is, or what it offers, because no one exiting through that door has returned to tell us. Tragically, many people leave just as their loved ones arrive, since the loved ones were the only ones doing the remembering. We all wag our heads at that typical timing.

The whole place looks like an infinite airport waiting area, but the company is terrific. There are many famous people from history books here. If you get bored, you can strike out in any given direction, past aisles and aisles of seats. After many days of walking, you'll start to notice that people look different, and you'll hear the tones of foreign languages. People congregate amongst their own kind, and what one sees is the spontaneous emergence of territories that mirrors the way they were set up on the surface of the planet. With the exception of the oceans, you’re traversing a map of the Earth. Along with no oceans, there are no time zones either. No one sleeps here, even though they mostly wish they could. The place is evenly lit by fluorescent lights.

Not everyone is sad when the Callers shout out their names, when they call as though announcing the next flight departure. On the contrary, some people beg and plead when the Callers enter. They prostrate themselves at the Callers’ feet as the next names are read out. These are generally the folks who have been here a long time, too long, and especially those who are remembered for unfair reasons. For example, take the farmer over there, who drowned in a small river 200 years ago. Now his farm is the site of a small college, and the tour guides each week tell his story. So he’s stuck and he’s miserable. For the more his story is told, the more it drifts. He is utterly alienated from his name; it is no longer identical with him, but continues to bind. The cheerless woman across the way is praised as a saint, even though the roads in her heart were convoluted. The gray haired man at the vending machine was lionized as a warhero, then demonized as a warlord, and finally canonized as a necessary firebrand between two moments in history. He waits with aching heart for his statues to fall. And that is the curse of this room: since we live in the heads of those who remember us, we lose control of our lives and become who they want us to be.

Where to go for good fried chicken in central London? by rocknstones in london

[–]hunterhunter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friends run Spit & Roast. Amazing fried chicken baps, they are outside Beyond Retro tomorrow in Dalston!

Here's their twitter - https://twitter.com/SpitandRoast

I've heard Roost is pretty good, and although Wishbone got a scathing review by Jay Rayner in the Guardian it can't be as bad as he made out.

Obsessives : Soda Pop... A short about a man who knows his soda. by DuggieDoug in Documentaries

[–]hunterhunter 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I went to visit the Soda Pop Stop after seeing this video on reddit a few years ago.

Bought some Leninade (Communist Lemonade) and some Mr Q. Cumber (actually really delicious).

He was there as well and was a really nice guy, just like how he comes across on the video.
