blizzard the worst company ?

Blizzard is the most arrogant company in the world . theyre is not one part of wow games mechanic and your chars makeup mechanics they will not f**k with on a daily basis, its one thing to expand a game, its another thing to endlessly mess with every aspect of it, your char is there property ? the TOS is abominable when read and fully understood. the customer support is beligerent and ignorant and revolves around ignoring customers and deleting/locking posts that reflect even in the slightest way negatively on them, the make more money than sin, but refuse to develop a region transfer facility, citing bullshit corporo drone spiel as the reason why its impossible, most of the game changes seem to revolve around making more money than making a better game, they also shit on addon developers constantly. 75% of the patches revolved around nerfing something you liked about the game, conditional macros , ranged based action bar addons, subtracting 20 talent points from your characters design, forcing you to re-level to 85 to have access to two talent trees ?! the list goes on and on, when you buy wow and invest time in a character your playing an addictive game of virtual esteem poker in which the dealer is changing the rules as soon as you get a wiff of winning, dont bother its a suckers game, if you think that im just QQ-ing then question it again when youve stopped playing for 2 years, and the scales will fall of your eyes, and you will realise that the people who love to play no matter what blizzard do, are just the non QQing “man” addicts who get stiff enough for the next top level content boss, who will continue to masochistically suck the dealers c**k no matter the abuse.

Mubaraks health ?

I’d wan’t a second third fourth and fifth doctors opinion on his health, his whole lying in bed in the court scenario seems, a “put on” to me, they should at least put the fucker upright to face his charges, I doubt it would kill him, theres not many diseases that kill you through being in an upright position ? He looks like he’s trying the usual dictator bullshit of pretending he’s close to death in order to avoid facing life shortening charges, surely it would save allot of time just to kill the fucker and have it done with. No Court cases, No trial nothing, the guy is quite obviously going to make a mockery of the idea of a court in order to extend his life, before facing any actual sentence. It does not serve egypt to have him lying in a bed, lying about everything. Out with the old and in with the new corruption is probably whats occurring anyway, but really they should be sure he’s properly out of the picture, otherwise he’ll hang over Egypts current possibly military corrupt future like a stale fart. At least if he’s been executed then it serves as a warning from the people to the powerful that if you want to have allot of power in egypt and suck up to the isreali’s, then if your caught at such activity then you are more likely to be executed, his execution might help ensure you get more moral people seeking power in Egypt.

the polices slow reactions might also have been extended by a middle and union management play for axing of the proposed cuts to services ?

UPDATE : obviously the conviction rate has increased, it’s also a crime the didnt jail any bankers for the financial crisis

Lawrence Dugbazah serial rapist from peckham ?

Lawrence Dugbazah serial rapist from … peckham ? do you think we could stop referring to recently naturalised people as being from places in britain, as I dont think this is a fair reflection on the places themselves, rather it should probably be a reflection of where the people weve imported come from ! Lawrence Dugbazah maybe technically british in terms of being in posession of a passport, but as far as im concerned he is not a product of peckham, as in peckham makes serial rapists, therefore is the “peckham” information in this scenario pertinent ? I think not. But the news as regards criminal ethnic people seems obsessed , with stating which place in britian they come from as though we british have some responsibility for the outcomes of their behaviour, as in we made the places they happen to be resident in, and this must be in someway pertinent to their behaviour.

pertinent information on the bbc website :

“She said: “The conclusion was that you are a dangerous offender.”

Dugbazah had convictions for possessing identity documents with intent, relating to false passports, and fraud by abuse of position. He was jailed for 18 months for these offences.

Defending Dugbazah, Gary Rutter said the defendant came to the UK illegally in 1999 at the age of 16 from Ghana.”

so he grew up in ghana for 16 years, so why dont we say Lawrence Dugbazah from Ghana ? is it that we are now so wet as a nation that we accept rapists into our country and claim them as our own ? rapist who also attempt to defraud our country. fraud by abuse of position ? read between the lines and that probably means some insanely PC council employed this guy perhaps in a position in which this made his ID fraud easier ? ie this guy was as per usual in this culture, given some kind of council or government bureaucratic position for probably no good reason other than his skin colour under some insane positive discrimination law.

war crime trials being a gravy train for european lawyers

war crime trials being a gravy train for european lawyers, deciding the fate of one man costing us 2 years and 20 million euros. look beyond a certain amount of guilt, whats the point, either execute or inprison him for the remainder of his life. and then spend the majority of case establishing for victims familys the quantity of deaths hes responsible for, without him being present and wasting time.

Southern Cross homes are they mad ?

the reason why southern cross are in trouble is there staff to resident ratio ?
here is an image from there brochure :

they have 44,916 staff serving 32,892 people ? a greater than one to one ratio sounds highly innefficient ! is this really correct ?

I’m also sure there rents are too high probably (speculative property market included).

But also they are no doubt milking money from the government for local authority fees as well as stripping private residents of money : in fact when you get old it looks like its going to cost you £553.00 a week to live ! as an able bodied person its costing me around £200.00 a week to live in a bedsit type environment. the simplest solution to the cost of old age is not to live too long.

this is evidence if any were needed that private taxation is supporting an ineffecient public sector based welfare system run by private companies for shareholder profit.

any company that has to provide shareholder dividends is going to find it harder to survive in tougher times than a not for profit.

played for 2-3 years well over 150 days continuous playtime, started the game on a US trial before EU trials were avail, got trapped US side playing from EU : worst raiding scenario, raiding ZG 40 mans would start 12-01:00am for me, Blizzards policy of no region transfers is also a joke, was ruining my life as was locked into us raiding schedules, occupied way to much life, quit subscription before WOTLK came out, character remains at 70, warcraft is a treadmill, if you want to be top level raiding. and raiding becomes worse than work, guild social and politics was appalling, liked about 4 people of about 40, cleared lots of high level stuff, If you have an addictive personality : DO NOT START THIS GAME, it will drink your life away like nobodys business. every expansion those purples and oranges you wasted time getting will become worse than greens, blizzard have created a treadmill for you with warcraft and every step you take on it your going nowhere if not backwards in your life and making money for them in the process, worse thing is the game lore is now a joke its so distended and repetetive “are you ready for the new challenge blah” “can you save azeroth from the XXXXX” pfff, and the fact they own your characters is a joke, why invest 150 days of your life creating something that isnt even your own property ? other more time controllable less grindy better and more open games will come along some day, with a fairer game maker user relationship.

wow … was never the same imo after they nerfed conditionals in the macro language …… many many moons ago. because that was all about blizzard making the grind even more grindy, extending the time required to achieve the same bad gameplay stuff in game, making you waste even more time playing the game. lets face it without addons, wow isn’t really wow, but blizzard don’t care about addon developers anymore than the users. users are merely profit margins in a spreadsheet. The individual user is a disposable item within the 12.5 million users or whatever its upto now, imagine someone in the real world had the ability to make dissappear 150 solid days worth of your effort with a whimfull decision, dont leave yourself exposed to that situation, dont invest any time in this game in the first place. Blizzard is an arrogant company FULL STOP. dont give them any money.

for new users > if you dont start something … you want have any difficulty stopping

only play games that have endpoints with 6 hours of continuous play , unlike this game which doesnt end, that might sound great but trust me a final cap to the azeroth story (all stories need an ending to be complete) would be a good idea, but theres probably too much money to be made to ever bring it to an end.

Lands end and John O groats sign > photograph charges

The famous Signposts at Lands end and John O groats attractions :

John o' Groats

John o' Groats not the most northerly point in the UK Mainland

These famous signposts and the sites themselves at either end are both owned by the same business “Heritage Attractions Limited” or is it “Heritage UK” ? at either end of the country, a name designed to make a private company try to sound like it’s a national government backed agency or something, and in opening hours during the tourist season there is a charge of £10.00 per person to take your photograph next to the infamous signs at either end of the journey, for this you get an an 8 x 10 print posted anywhere in the UK and they put the lettering up on the sign etc, which is ok value, but to be honest, admiteadly its not more than thorpe park would charge for a photo on a log flume or something, but I dont think that either end of the “end to end” should be turned into some kind of themepark ? and since practically every one has a digital camera these days, this service in my opinion is just milking it too far, and after hours and out of season the sign is reduced to a plain post as both directional fingers and the roundel on top are removed to prevent people from getting their evidential photograph standing next to the sign for free, which seems to me demonstrate something of the kind of highland welcome they should not be promoting in their tourist industry ? I should not get too aggressive at John Carter who I believe is still the photographer in question ? as many have said he’s a nice enough guy ? but I cannot vouch for what goes on at John O Groats, no doubt there some local/familial and private investor squabbling that goes on, that can often turn, once lovely locations like this into somekind of hotbed of powermongering and plotting to control some ailing tourist cash register, as is the case with most private ownership in this country.

John o Groats no fingers no roundel

John o Groats no fingers no roundel

the photo is borrowed from a very good article about the general sorry state of john o groats in a great article on urban realm which can be read by clicking this link, they also seem to run something called the carbuncle award, which surely has too many contenders architecturally in britain

This seems uncivilised, that both these sign locations are privately owned, they should obviously be free as when people come to these uk furthest points, they will spend money in the facilities on site and the nearby area anyway, therefore people should be able to freely take their own photograph next to the signs, or perhaps english heritage should purchase them ? as currently this charge sadly bookends what by foot is a personal and epic pilgrimage of britain, with a really touristic tacky experience at either end, quite unpleasant, and not british in nature.

Dunnet Head

Dunnet Head the real most northerly point on the UK mainland

Dunnet Head the real most northerly point on the UK mainland

dunnet head

Dunnet head is in fact the geographically most northern point on the UK mainland, and John O Groats is the grockle cash register they built at a convenient ferry crossing point, they want you to visit to spend your cash, which apart from it being geographically incorrect, wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t run to the extent of charging you to stand next to the sign ? which is egregiously money orientated, after all tourists would no doubt spend money there, but to be charged for standing next to a sign is just plain cheap and gouging ! My advice get your journey stamped in the post office > take your photo next to the dunnet head sign, and visit john o groats for a bit to eat and drink, and you if you feel the necessity of the sign itself being in your photo album then pay for that also, as regardless of how crass it seems to pay for a photo with a sign, its no worse than any other horrifically over commercialised places in the UK.

to resume :
toilets are 20p (sadly most of the public lavatories have gone) I blame cottaging and weak councils)
a cup of tea at John O groats ? no idea anyone got any experience on that front ?
take your photo with the sign > £10.00 larger photos cost more. once youve paid you can also take digital photos too.
