  1. Lost a stone within a month. Basically, moving a lot more and eating less unhealthy foods. I'm happy.
  2. The German GP, that was something different. Still having tire issues, but of a different kind. Seriously, what the heck. I know a quick stop is essential, but that is too quick. Hopefully the cameraman is ok. He suffered a broken collar bone, concussion and broken ribs after that. What did Red Bull get as a punishment, a $30,000 fine. Thats it, nothing else. No point deductions, no ban from the next race. I hope the cameraman sues Red Bull for the above, otherwise they are getting away with it. Unlucky for Massa, i have no idea what happened there with that. Bianchi's car caught fire, unlucky. Thankfully he got out of there, but by then the fire was out. Then the car decided to re-enter the race by itself.
  3. Already had Katie, passed her onto flameboy a week or so ago now.
  4. May as well add to my list New Super Mario Bros U Monster Hunter III Ultimate Luigi's Mansion 2 Donkey Kong Country Returns Animal Crossing: New Leaf Tomb Raider I need to get said foot out of ones backside.
  5. I've begun harvesting my fruit trees after my recent plantage/culling and re-organising i did a few days ago. I'm just over 3/4 and made close to, if not over 120k. I also sold my turnips for 151 bells today, having paid 50 bells per turnip on Sunday. Paid all of my museum expansion off and 1/2 my mortage to Nook.
  6. That is correct Mr Dedede, the more i post the more i get back in return. A role which is fitting to myself in past mafia game activities. @Sheikah, that would have been a little harsh. But maybe fair.
  7. @Rummy, i believe i'm left in the newb pile. Rating as a HR1 at the moment, Animal Crossing has destroyed my MH career at the moment.
  8. Oh....... Once you are mayor, you can erect a well in your town. It's a provision/request from townsfolk. It's on my list of things to buy, after Nook's nicked my bells.
  9. Indeed, just putting my info out before someone pops up and asks what i did last night.
  10. Hopefully so, hang on the next gen consoles are out this year as well. Lovely, more consoles to choose a GoTY from.
  11. Investigated Sir Rummington last night, all i found out was his name. He is known simply as Isaac Gavin. That is all i received last night.
  12. Oh i hate this thread, it's so difficult to choose just the one from each. Home Console X360 - My Game of the Mid-Year goes to Bioshock Infinite. It doesn't feel like the Bioshock games of old, but does bring in elements that made the games good. But that is just my opinion on that. The story is different, combat is good and i loved the characters and the diaglouge. WiiU - Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. First WiiU game i played, which to be honest can be classed as a 3DS game as i take it on the move with me to get more hunting experience on my journey across Wales. Missions are varied, and i'm having a lot more fun since adding some upgrades to the equipment. Handheld Only the one choice here, it's Animal Crossing: New Leaf. What is there not to love about this game, it is easily a Game of the Year candidate that is for certain.
  13. More renovation in Windhelm, the shop is under renovation and will be open again tomorrow. Going from TnT to something bigger. Damn, i wanted some fortune cookies. Oh well. And my forest of fruit trees is nearly grown, they'll be ready tomorrow for everyone to come in and help themselves.
  14. They probably are, the smarter ones are on long term sick. Full pay, all the time off they need for upto 6 months. Plus i'm getting a wage which is paying for things, plus i'm saving up enough so i can hand in my notice and live comfortable for a few months.
  15. I keep contemplating leaving as i mentioned, but i won't. I see it as they are breaking me, but i'm not showing it to them. If i show any sign of weakness, they will pounce and i'll be got rid of quicker than a tax demand arrives on your door. And it's not just me who's getting fed up, 1/2 the staff are getting fed up. 3 quit last week. Exactly right. I'm keeping in line with their rules and regs so i can't be held accountable for anything, but keep voicing opinions about how what they are doing is breach of contract. Which to be perfectly fair, is a breach of contract and has the unions involved. Maybe so, but worth trying to break the traditions.
  16. I must be the only one who hasn't downloaded the new games as of yet. I need to, going to Swansea next weekend for a streetpass event so they'll be a necessity.
  17. Indeed, his cash-in would be great. He does his entrance as normal, giving his "savior of the masses" speech. Pins the champ, picks up the mike and simply says "You're welcome" and leaves. Ambrose winning, a bit early in his WWE career. Maybe next year if the Shield disband, but not this year due to his US title feuds.
  18. What is going on, i'm losing to newer teams. I did try a different tactic, which i'm probably not doing again.
  19. They honestly do this, it's crap. You do need to put it in writing that even though you've booked the Friday and Monday off, you are not available for Saturday/Sunday. But in a way, they only ask in busy periods. Thats between June and August mainly.
  20. I saw the renewal period was coming up, they don't tend to kick in the renewal part of peoples contracts until May, so i booked the time off in April. Basically, the renewal part is voluntary overtime/shift changes with finishes at 8pm/9pm and if not enough are chosen, random selection takes place. Only way to get out of that is to have holiday booked already before they tell you. The contract itself says 40 hours per week, Monday to Sunday. Shifts can change with 2 weeks notice. At the moment, i'm on 10am until 7pm 3 days a week, then 11:30am until 8:30pm another 2. Every 2nd and 4th Saturday it's 8am until 4:30pm. This changes as and when the business requires it to do so. So in a way, it is a pretty shitty thing to do as you said. But with the amount of crap thats going on at the moment, and has done since day 1. What i'm doing is minor compared to that.
  21. Yeah, same here. Started repaying my 198,000 loan to Nook as well as the same for the 2nd floor museum. Because time restraints are on as such, what i make when i play is split between both loans so i should in theory repay both at the same time. I also snagged my 7th streetpass on here today, 7 new houses added to my wonderful map. And i've been busy with a few axes, spades and fruit selling. I've literally chopped all my fruit trees down and replanted many of them in organised lines. Mixing them up so there is at least 3 different combos of fruits available, should be done in 3 days time. And i'm buying tree sprouts in the bucket load, trying to make my town look very nice indeed. Gates will be open tomorrow from 9pm.
  22. I won't quit, because if i quit they win and won't change. Talking to the union today, they said just that to me. One of my mates in work is on long-term sick which is protecting him from being sacked, they can medically discharge him from duty but will cost rest of years salary (we've got one of them old contracts that says if we go ill and are released, they pay the rest). Newer staff hired from 2012 don't have this part anymore. He's using the time for a well earned rest. And one other thing not making me quit is the JSA, £72 p/w. If i quit, i won't get JSA for a month or two according to the rules. I booked time off at the end of July, they are trying hard to cancel it as they need all hands on deck for the calls. Heck, they even tried the old "You booked Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off but not Saturday, Sunday so you can work them" trick. It's too bad i pre-prepared for it . Basically, it's the end of the year for Credits with arrogant people calling for renewing claims, saying it's our fault for not answering calls. Who knows, may not go back in August.
  23. Picked up my 7th New Leaf Streetpass today. Some people have got some weird houses indeed
  24. New item available at Nintendo Wi-fi zones, it's a lamp.
  25. It's tough to pick one, but from how it's looking at the moment., it's the following Wii-U Pikmin 3 Wind Waker HD Super Mario 3D World 3DS Pokemon X/Y New Zelda (whatever it's called) It's gonna be a poor year for 2013, fair enough most things are paid for already. But with the PS4 coming this year, gonna be expensive.
