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.

Another draw today, damn. -
I'll lay a vote down later on Diageo once i've read the latest updates and see whats what.

Best get me a HDD then, c'man July.

Out of all my trees i planted yesterday, only 1 died and that i am unsure what one did. It was either a banana or coconut tree, so a trip to the Island again to grab both again and replant. And in my town, my Nook's Cranny store is closing for refurbishment tomorrow. Exciting times are ahead. In other news, it's Summer Soltice and there is an event on the plaza to celebrate the day.
-
Anyone know the size of this to download?. Considering the download of it over retail, so if i choose download then i may need a new HDD.
-
Yes, they remain. The only tree's that won't remain are the "perfect" fruit trees. They'll act like normal ones for a short while, then they'll die.
-
Oh, i completly forgot to send in a target last night. I have nothing to add at this moment in time, sorry people.
-
Hmm, i've had a green shell, midnas mask, no prize, fireflower so far. Bit strange if it remains with you Hero.
-
I chopped down most of my native fruit trees and a few non-fruit trees to plant non-native fruits in my town. But i mainly chopped trees down to re-position them elsewhere and to tidy things up a little. A bit too cluttered my town was, but alas not any more.

If anyone needs any cherries, apples, lychees, oranges, peaches or pears my gate will be open at half 10. I'm storing some away as i'll be selling the rest. Please don't run around, i planted a lot of trees recently and i want them to grow. -
Been on another axe ramage today, cleared many more trees as my fruits had come back so i know which ones i had to clear. If anyone needs any cherries, apples, lychees, oranges, peaches or pears my gate will be open at half 10. I'm storing some away as i'll be selling the rest. And with bananas and coconuts, do you plant them on the beach?

This DRM should never have been implemented like this, but you can have a Day 1 console and not ever download the patch. We the people have made our stand, we shall remain true to our word (hopefully). The thing is, Microsoft had something they could have implemented correctly. Download titles could have been put under the sharing to others with an internet connection, but disks remained as they were. What they did was wrong and not what was needed. Don't get me wrong, i like the idea of sharing games. But the way Microsoft's DRM was doing it, it put me way off the idea in general
-
Oh, i see now. Microsoft were never going to put the DRM into action to begin with. They just wanted public opinion, nice try chaps. Nice try indeed.
-
I made my decision at E3, the final straw which made me not want a One was the Kinect and the price. That is still the case today, sorry chaps. The One is not for me and it won't be for me. It's good to see Microsoft have put their heads in their laps and walked out embarrassed.
-
How can anyone trust Microsoft now, they revealed a policy no-one liked. They reverse the policy to bring in the orders, what is to stop them sneaking them back in at a later date.
-
Showing that even Microsoft believe their own policies are complete bull crap. I made my mind up, i'm still not getting an Xbox One. They've revealed to me that they are complete morons.
-
Happy Birthday, have a good one.
-
That may explain why my luck is a little off. Got my yellow desk on the right wall, green fridge on the left and red bed up north. Changes lay ahead. And where do you get carpet and wallpaper from, i have a flower paper given to me and no floor as such?

The two worst carriers i've had are Royal Mail (or Fail) and City Link. City Link have "lost" my parcels, or delivered them to the wrong address. Worse still, they marked it as "delivered" when the chap was sitting in his van outside my house, then he drove off. Same with Royal Fail, resulting in me chasing after them after they refused to deliver my packages. Putting them on the wall, putting a note in my door then picking them up and walking off. I was in, saw the van approach and saw what they did. I've had no issues with Amazon Prime, a damn good service indeed. I just have issues with the providers above. Parcel Force, even though are from the Fail are fine. Same for TNT and Yodell (ok, Yodell always arrives in a private van/jeep with some dude called "Steve" all the time.

Payback, mostly boring. RAW, very interesting indeed. Won't say much more on that. Ziggler losing the WHC so quickly, na i dislike that. Should have given him a good run with it, hate seeing this happen to talented people. But Del Rio going heel again, thank god. His face run was a little off, actually was off in general. He plays a heel so much better. Ziggler going face, he's practically a face so it works i think. He needs to chuck AJ and Langstrom now to make his face run complete i believe
