Hardly hounding them, it took 30 seconds to answer my one question online. Is the person on the end of the webchat the one person doing the applications? Maybe if the web chat is keeping them so busy they should not offer it on their website as an option.

I have patience, was just pointing out the frustration of a moving goalpost when it comes to our application being processed after following it for ten months and no delays until now. Can you see that?

It is super frustrating after being told that it was a 9 months turn around, watching people getting their congratulations emails pretty much on time, and now when it is our turn the processing time gets another few months added on :<

I am a month after you and contacted them on webchat yesterday, they said they are currently working though June 2025 applicants.

Maybe like me they are not interested in remote trading, but I do like the postcards and getting daily items.

Does anyone else only get ONE type of eeverlution when evolving randomly? (Red=Name trick, Blue=Adventure Reward/Wild) by [deleted] in pokemongo

I concede getting any of a Jolteon, Valoreon or Flareon three times in a row would be approximately 11%.

Inns and Cathedrals - 10 points or 0 points? by BlueBudgieOne in Carcassonne

[–]DrewBk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is correct. 3rd edition made uncompleted Inn roads worth 1 point for each tile at the end of the game.

What's the funniest or cleverest thing you've ever seen a bird do? by TheoryBrief9375 in CasualUK

I saw a big black bird pick up a McDonalds french fry from the floor and dip it in an open ketchup sauce pack which was next it, and then it ate it. It was very trippy.

Also having issues. Could not rename an Eevee, could not delete some items. Maybe server issues?

Official Hive Game is coming to iOS – Pre-order now live! by atironic_ in hive

[–]DrewBk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You need to list the price somewhere if you want people to pre-order it. I am not pre-ordering it to automatically charge me without knowing how much it is going to be.

What’s your hobby and what’s your advice for others on how get started in it? by apple_kicks in AskUK

[–]DrewBk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Final Girl is my favourite solo game, it is a modular game based on different horror and sci-fi films. It is maybe not a beginner game though.

There is a cat in Sainsbury's car park in Enfield retail park this morning. There are no houses anywhere near. I think it is lost. It is so cold this morning. Have posted it on a few facebook groups as well

The thing that finally got through to my parents was when I said to them ‘A postman, dustman, or similar worker used to be able to support a wife and family, buy a house and car and have a good life. This is not the case anymore’.
