Breaking News!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Sun is out!!!!!!!!

I thought it was George Osbourne you sold it to, i could be wrong.

Hey, fresh non-botty meat. Welcome PerseusRad to the forums. I know not a lot of us have given the official welcome, well ReZ has. It's tradition what he does, so if you pass his test you are fine. Finally nice to see someone who isn't a bot/hired ad posting. And someone who sounds like they'll be a lot of fun indeed. Hope to see you around chap. And whomever was referring to "Rokhed", not many of us left whom saw that explode

I keep forgetting to buy turnips, damn my late night drinking sessions.

That would explain that. You're not the Phantom from the play "Phantom of the Opera, 1/2 hidden under a mask? Just a curious thought. I'll put my vote down now. Vote: ReZourceman

Probably hiding behind a tree, they always do.

I'm reaching the duplicate stage on fossils. I get so, so many, at least 4 a day.

I spent the 20k on the Beutification of my town back on day 2, got loads of flowers, less weeds and the villagers are seen watering the plants. And timetravelling doesn't affect the town, so no cheating as such. I am tempted to scrap it and pick another or not have one at all to add more things for me to do as such. I do miss the weeds, and i also need a cockroach for the museum. Which of the other 2 (or 3) should i go for. I'm tempted for the rich town one to replace it or Night owl based on my shifts in work and the timings i get to play the game. But i don't want to ruin the game and get things quicker, so i may still leave things alone and as they are.

I would assume so, i've only sent one message to an online friend yesterday. Just paid off my 4th improvement (Bridge, Bench, Campsite and now Fenced-off area), planning the 5th now which is expanding my musuem as per the request from my owl friend there. And i've been busy planting new trees everywhere and tidying the area up to make it more better as it were. May open my gates tonight if the internet is playing ball.

Well, for a game which is free to play online and free to download to many smartphones/tablets/PC's moving into the charge era, i can see good things for the WiiU now. Controls will be interesting at least, thats genuine.

Sure, i'll put a vote down later once i get home. If it's needed by then of course.

@Eenuh is right, i did target Diageo last night. A very hidden character, didn't find out anything about him. He only showed part of his face as well from the sounds of it.

I'll try and pick up the Raccoon clock tomorrow on my way home from work. Anyone got any tree saplings available for trade?. I can offer bells and/or coconuts, mangos, bananas and darum fruits in exchange.

Started more tree management, chopped down a few and planted many more. Trying to tidy things up as it were, should be ready in a few days. Paid off my bench, starting the payback of the 200,000 mortgage from Nook the Crook. Quick question, when does Redd likely appear. I've only seen him once since i started my game.

I'm only 1 bug and 1 fish from completing the June collection, they are the Firefly and that long fish. Shall nab them today if possible (thats if they both show up). Just paid the 98,000 Nook loan off, got the campsite and bridge paid off. Shall be paying the bench today. Gotta love this game. Oh, and i got some spikey fruits (Darums i think) if people need some. Got 3 trees worth, growing more which will be ready in a few days.

From chatting to some people using the Kinect device, it's not as good as the headset for conversations.

Microsoft are the pinnacle company for bad ideas, none of this surprises me one bit to be honest.

Started using a calorie-control ap on my phone. Inputting food into the system, and how much exercise i've done in the day. So far today, i've consumed 1035 calories and burned 646 calories by walking just over 3 miles (equivilent, thats everything including walking to the toilet). I've got a 10,000 step goal, only 3,500 from the target. I'll reach that today. Weight-loss wise, down 1/2 a stone in June. I plan to be another 1/2 stone lighter by the Meet at the end of July. Was 19 stone 9, now 19 stone 2.

That does suck, but wern't Mercedes going to pull out of F1 if the punishment was harsher. Sometimes it makes me wonder why i watch when all this farce is going on between different teams and the FIA. Silverstone this weekend, should be a good race.

I had Katie visit my town yesterday, she asked to visit another town so i took her to your town yesterday @flameboy whilst on my travels. Nice tree-filled town by the way. I have run into a tarantula on my adventures only once, and it attacked me after i lunged my net at it. Ended up outside my house and havn't seen it since. Which is a shame, i fancy nabbing it asap. Got a petition going to get Club Lol in my town, signed up 3 townsfolk who are interested. Will get the campsite paid and my mortgage paid today (hopefully), people who have been visiting have donated bells in exchange for fruit and tools (i left it as their choice if they asked how much i wanted for fruit/tools as an exchange), which they did (very nice of them) And if anyone needs Banana's, Coconuts or Mangos they are ready in my town and i can share them if needs be.

It's piss poor on Brighton to be perfectly honest. The BBC informed Gus he's been sacked, first he heard of it was on-air as you said. This is good grounds for an appeal, this can be used as ammunition as it were. The footage is up if anyone missed it.

Cleared the bill on my first bridge, woo hoo. Now just need a resident to move so i can build a 3rd. Which will make it even easier to access the beach in the south. Started work on the campsite, which after an island trip later should be cleared as well as the mortgage on Nooks. Maybe, who knows.

Another work rant (these will end one day, maybe) Past few weeks, because it's been getting super busy (150+ calls waiting at all times, 120 of them are angry for the long wait they are enduring). So in an effort to combat the queue and to make sure someone is answering the calls, they cancelled the investment time we get (basically, it's an hour a week you get to catch up on HR stuff, book leave, write a performance review* etc) and shorted the daily 15 minute "buzz" we get to 5 or 10 minutes, heck even cancelling them sometimes. They are now timing breaks, demanding you press "ready" as soon as the call you've wrapped up is done. They bought new staff in to temporally help with the call volumes, and they may as well not be there as they are useless tits. They take a call then spend the next 20 minutes chatting with their friends in a random code before taking the next call. And they don't do the work either, leaving us to fix the mess they caused. We've seen them doing this, complained to management who done fuck all as usual. Some of us chatted to the Union, who talked to management. They also told each wing the same. They apologised for the lack of investment time, but as long as it's busy expect these things to happen. It's funny really, at the moment they are breaching contract. Contracts state we get an hour per week off, but they are doing coaching still**. It does seem at the moment we the advisers are getting punished for the lack of planning management have done. And i've close to had enough, well to be fair i've had enough. To add on top of this the abuse i get on the phone for the long waits. *Performance review, i disagree with it because it's partly my responsibility to do my performance. But it is the team leaders who are meant to to the performance reviews. No-one likes this idea, but it has to be done. **Coaching, they are choosing who gets what. Some are having live listening, meaning the team leaders plug into your phone and listen to 3 calls live. Others are having random calls pulled and coached on them. I had the 3 calls pulled, and refused to have it done on Union advice. I said i want the live done, they said no. Unions said they can't give some one way and the rest another.

Time for ones vote Vote: Diageo
