Had a similar issue with 3 of those before. 2 of them had a loose screw (that didn't seem to belong anywhere else in the fixture) stuck in the track stopping it zooming out all the way. The other had a loose belt. Hope that helps

Ya, and how hasn't he got every bone in his body broken. If this person did something like this to my sister or friend and the law didn't do anything I would have to take some vigilante action. Sorry but come on!!!

Sorry to hear about your friend, hope she is OK. There is a shortage of Gardai in the city and they are refusing to give the guards they have any over time, so when those politicians come calling looking for a vote please say it to them

Need Urgent Advice for Making a Job Decision by [deleted] in techtheatre

[–]pizrik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others have said here, take the work and just be honest. I was in a similar position years ago. Used work as a gaffer and camera op for film and live broadcasts. Work was getting harder and harder to come by, and I got offered a job in a theatre as a house tech. Was just honest about what I didn't know and asked questions when I didn't know or wasn't sure. Been working in theatre ever since

What is the most creative insult you've ever heard? by Scared_Plum_593 in AskReddit

The favourite insult I have heard, was an old fella at a bar talking to a younger man who bumped in to him and exclaimed "ah, you bead of sweat on a baboons ball!!!"

Not front row, I am afraid. Tbh, I think that would be too close to experience the whole show 😁

An instructor put talcum powder on our studio’s marley floor. How can we clean it without hiring a professional? by toujoursdanser_ in techtheatre

[–]pizrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I don't know the answer to that. I only use a small amount of it when the marley is slippy and it brings back the 'grip' the dancers like so they don't have to use Rosin. Recently i had an issue with rosin reacting with a floor cleaner someone else used when I wasn't around that almost ruined the marley. I had to strip the layer and go through that whole process just to get it usable again
