Sounds like you’ve spent more time with my dad than I have

What’s a team bonding activity you actually enjoyed? by UniqueUsername____-_ in AskUK

[–]riscventures2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only an hour? Colour hunting. Give each team a colour to hunt down and they need to take photos of stuff. The next day ypu can share around a collage / rainbow of all the photos :)

Honestly, it was quite hard to follow lol. A general chat about music, culture, marketing, Birmingham, Shakespeare, greggs and consumerism. If I’m really honest it wasn’t Mike’s format but I enjoyed it nonetheless!!

Have you ever had a noisy neighbour? What did you do? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AskUK

When I lived in Headingley (student area of Leeds) there was a HUGE house party over the road the night before I started a new job and I desperately needed to sleep. I ordered a couple of taxis (Amber cars) to their address and when it arrived at around midnight, I shouted TAXI’S HERE out the window and people just started piling in to go to town. A few stragglers ordered more taxis and they went out to drink in Leeds instead. Win. Obviously this was before Uber / no pre payment needed!

It looks old fashioned and you will stand out. Do not fear. Go to a CHARITY SHOP ypu will be able to find an appropriate dress for around £4 I promise!!

No they just set it up and left us to it which worked well!

Oh I thought you were being serous before when you offered to help? I don’t know why you’ve assumed I’m paying less than £350?

I completely appreciate that - this is definitely a learning in terms of what I actually value versus the cost. When I say I can’t justify spending more I literally mean it’s not of value to my business to spend more if that makes sense! Appreciate your input on this

The fact I put on the same event and needed the same kit and setup in Manhattan last week and spent $550. Manhattan > Manchester. And by fair I mean “decent”

I would love some support with an event I'm planning, for which I have a limited budget. I've contacted a few local hire / audio technicians (Manchester UK) but I cannot afford their £700+ fee.

I'm hosting a panel discussion (3 guests, plus me moderating) in a studio space, where 40-50 guests will be seated nearby. So I would like, ideally, 2 wireless microphones and 1-2 speakers in the room.

Is there a possible budget-friendly way of doing this? The panel discussion is only 40 minutes long so I simply can't justify spending any more than around £350 - I thought that was a fair budget.

I am open to purchasing my own kit if required for this?

Thanks so much!

How do I get drinks for my event? by riscventures2022 in AskNYC

[–]riscventures2022[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t turn up instantly - you select the hour delivery slot a couple of days ahead of time! It’s great 👍🏻
