I just spent over an hour performing the "Changing Passwords After Security Breach" dance. Music by the Shame Flute.
If you don't see me ever again on this site it's because I've forgotten my password. Alternatively, someone might hack my account. Watch out for Tent Hen impersonators. Always ask yourself: does this impenetrable wall of text look genuine? Is this frontier gibberish authentic?
Some of the accounts no longer exist, I suppose that's safe enough. Can I have an F in the chat for my toysrus.co.uk account?

I have only one parking ticket, for an offence in Cork, a speeding fine for an offence at the Isle of Dogs and a driving in a bus lane fine.
I’ve been on the run from Johnny Law ever since.

I've never had a speeding ticket in England, in spite of doing a ton 40 down the M1. It would've been difficult to argue I hadn't been speeding as I stepped out my mate's front door at Hinckley at 3.30 a.m. and walked through my own in old Amersham at 4.30 a.m. having averaged 99.98 mph. I avoided getting nicked in France too until they changed the town exit sign position and added a tree shaded layby for les flic to wait with a radar gun just beyond Chatillon-sur-Indre. It was just before 11 a.m when you have to be damned careful because they're all looking for fucking lunch money - €80 fine. Never got any points on my licence... they probably spent it at the Auberge de la Tour where we'd spent a very pleasant evening and night.  (There's a great motte and bailey castle in Chatillon-sur-Indre. Here's an aerial view of the Castle)  "The town of Chatillon-sur-Indre in the department of Indre, grew around its 12th century fortified *'Caesars' tower, built by Henry II Plantagenet, count of Anjou and King of England. It is said to be the oldest tower with a cylindrical vault in France. As the town grew its walls encompassed the 11th century collegiate church of Saint Outrille."

Video James - Animal Corisnging. Its become routine to the point that I just get my fossils and done. Not sure how much longer it will hold interest, which is a shame as new leaf lasted much longer. Because they are rolling out stuff through updates you basically know nothing interesting is going to happen until you get an update. Git gud, scrub. I now wrap my daily fossils into a pretty parcel and hand them out as gifts to my residents. That way I keep my friendships high and prompt them to give presents in return whilst preserving their original furniture (they never display fossils). For the rest of them I'm daily spamming Iron Wall Racks, which are relatively easy to produce en masse, are worth over 2,000 Bells (i.e. the threshold for max friendship points/reciprocal gifts) and won't be displayed, either. New Horizons definitely makes you work for getting requests from villagers harder than New Leaf, although once they ask you to catch a fish or bug it's not as aggravating as in NL, i.e. they don't ask for anything super rare that results in you spending hours to hunt it down. I'm a terrible AC hoarder, so I always try to get all clothing and all the items and furniture, and New Horizons has opened up a deep rabbit hole for me by introducing colour variations. My aim is to catalogue all items in all variations. This shouldn't take longer than a decade or two. I'm also working on getting all the Nook Miles achievements. So my daily routine involves: - checking for the daily special visitor and interacting with them. Leif is the only one that I don't need to talk to unless there's a change in blooming bushes - checking for and interacting with additional visitors, i.e. Wisp and Celeste - harvesting the money tree, finding the daily glowing spot to plant another one - finding the daily recipe in a bottle - going round the island to hit all rocks - going round the island to shake all trees - clearing out the daily weeds - popping all the balloons that float by - checking Nook's Cranny and Able Sisters for new items, buy wrapping paper - digging up all fossils, getting them assessed and turning them into presents - crafting and wrapping presents, handing them out, making sure that I'm talking to every resident at least once a day, giving them medicine if they are sick - diving for scallops to give to Pascal - getting as many Nook Miles rewards as possible In addition to all of this I usually mass produce any lucrative hot items for maximum cash, collect sea shells and catch fish, bugs and underwater creatures, donating new ones to the museum. Whenever I'm short of materials (usually iron nuggets) I go island hopping. All this keeps me so busy that I usually don't have time to do more construction work. I'm also still a far way off from having all flower hybrids. Yes, I have a problem. No need to rub it in. |

Good lord tent them enemy, that's insane.
I figure I can get a decent amount of money from selling my appraised fossils, so just do that. I've completely given up on the crafting stuff as its a bit boring.
In other news, I can now hear the internet. When our broadband is downloading something there's a definite hiss/buzz sound. Its actually quite useful to hear when your downloads have finished.

It's the details that matter.
And Shenguin just ain't got it where it counts.
Plus when I posted the link last night my original comment did not yet have a pick.

ChumblesThose sneaky French... I got a ticket while driving in Tuscany a few years ago. A multi lane road in Florence suddenly splits into road and bus lane, and I had nowhere to go but follow the buses. They sent a wonderfully-wordy letter to me once I was back in Britain, advising me that I could appeal to the mayor of Florence by writing them a letter in Italian. If the mayor disagreed, they would double my fine. Now, I'm not saying that is criminal... but... well...

In 21 years of driving I have only ever had one speeding fine. I was hooning it through a small village, and a car passing on the other side of the road started flashing his head lights and waving his arm out the window at me to slow down. I thought he was just being a bit of a dick, but when I went round a bend in the road there was a speed trap set up. Cool story etc.

I have had parking tickets in at least 3 countries. Canada being the best, as the ticket was very politely worded, and the fine was low.

Always suspected you lot were secretly a bunch of recidivists. Alarmingly cavalier attitudes to road traffic laws in multiple jurisdictions.

Oh, I got a parking ticket this year while attending my first appointment in Brighton* about my vasectomy.
Completely my fault, though slightly annoying that people get away with such things on a daily basis, while I get nabbed for risking it the once.
*not France, because apparently we need to state that fact.

Approximately 85% of the population of Brighton work as traffic wardens.
Not the place to play Billy Big Bollocks with the parking.

Just perusing my VAST library of unplayed ps+ games. Had a quick half hour on God of War 3 remastered. Never played it before. It's excellent. My dude has some serious moves. Like a young Tuffers. 4 stars.

Speaking of cunts, I'm currently on a Zoom call for the first camera club competition of the season.
Judge? Very harsh on the development group.
IT? The usual terrible standards one could expect from this lot.
My shots? One up now. I don't like how this is going.
