TROPHY CASE

Reddit, as a classical musician, tell me what we could do better. What is it about classical music that keeps you away from our concerts? by a12345678910in AskReddit

[–]MrFoo42 0 points1 point ago

It can't really be the price as almost every organization has cheap tickets the day of a concert

Er, yes it can. I don't know about you, but I'm not of the habit of saying, "Hmm, what shall I do tonight, oh the <x> symphony are playing tonight and have spare tickets so they're cheap".

People need to arrange things in advance, babysitting for instance, or transport to/from the venue etc.

To say that cheap tickets on the day nullifies arguments about the price is to completely misunderstand the way the world works for the majority of people, and continue to re-emphasise the opinion that classical music is for rich people with lots of free time and resources to be able to make it happen on a whim.

He can do maths, he's just saying, do one picture per letter, and in that picture have 30 things.

Looking for good schools in the UK by seeseman4in unitedkingdom

[–]MrFoo42 1 point2 points ago

Students from outside the UK/EU have always paid full tuition (which is even higher than £9,000), the increase in fees for UK/EU students has no impact on someone coming from the USA.

I don't know which places might be good, but FYI, they're called Universities in the UK, not Schools or Colleges, you could confuse people.

It's not VAT, it's the import duty that people are refusing to pay.

Police in Norway believe there's a code in Breiviks manifesto, but hasn't been able to solve it. Can Reddit do any better? by alienketchupin AskReddit

I only checked a few near me, but they're all near Business Schools I think.

33% of the vote and 8 seats. 31% of the vote and 10 seats. 25% and 2 seats. Would AV have stopped this? by idowysin unitedkingdom

[–]MrFoo42 4 points5 points ago

This is because seats are decided by wards, not the overall vote.

Moving to Liverpool for July by blackstar00in Liverpool

[–]MrFoo42 2 points3 points ago

All the stations in the city centre are on the Wirral line that goes to Port Sunlight, so you don't need to worry about which station you're near. EXCEPT Central station is about to close for an age, so that one won't be useful.

Not sure where's best for accommodation, unfortunately.

You can't cycle through the tunnels, but I think you can take a bike on the ferry, but I'm not sure how useful that is.

He Won't Be Going Far... by BryanWakein funny

[–]MrFoo42 2 points3 points ago

It's a screencap from a TV advert in the UK. The gist of it was that the car is so good to drive and so desirable, it doesn't matter how far you drive it.

Reddit, I'm drunk and easily impressed. What is the coolest fact you know? by thelovepiratein AskReddit

If the supernova happened closer to us than the pillars, we'll have seen the nova, just not the effects on the pillars.

Was I overcharged for fuel at Asda? by TakenByVulturesin unitedkingdom

IF there was 1.2l in the pipe after he filled, there would have been 1.2l in the pipe BEFORE he filled too, leavening a net difference of 0...

No it's not. I saw that one posted before the Mexico earthquake, saying it was of the Japanese earthquake.

Fuel cost and fuel efficiency around the globe... by panda_assassinin AskReddit

[–]MrFoo42 0 points1 point ago

EU regulations on emissions and crash-worthiness are just as stringent as in the US. And your point about diesel is a bit off the mark, yes there are lots fo diesels, but our petrol ones are also generally more efficient.

It'll never work. Sites want to own your ID, look at how facebook want to be the ID provider for so many things.

Good news Reddit, Big Brother and a new love show on CBS are now casting by cronoizmin entertainment

That's not good news, Big Brother is fucking awful.

Right now I am taking care of a possible date-rape drug victim in my dorm room. I now know what I want to do with my life. Reddit, when did you realize exactly what you want to do with the rest of your life? by freediversoulin AskReddit

[–]MrFoo42 1 point2 points ago

Something to be aware of, when she wakes up properly, she may not remember ANY of it due to the drugs. So she's going to wake up in your room and have no idea why she's there, so be prepared to reassure her and show her the paperwork if she's freaked out.

Pot in public: What do non-pot smokers think? by darbywithersin AskReddit

[–]MrFoo42 -1 points0 points ago

I have a bad reaction to secondhand pot smoke, so I'd not be that happy about having to walk through it to get anywhere.

ANOTHER Venue bites the dust? Static Gallery ceasing all future live music shows. by Feels_Goodmanin Liverpool

Looks like it's right next to a residential area and not well sound proofed... so it's really no wonder it had to move.

Quick question about selling maillQuick question about selling maille... by DoubleHawk4Lifein maille

[–]MrFoo42 1 point2 points ago

One thing to know, quite a few of the commercial ones are made from maille made on a machine which means their time cost is very low.

What you need to work out is how long it's taken you to make. If it's taken you 40 hours then charging just $100 values your time at $2.50/hour if you don't include materials.
