    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    Lol you're complaining that it's at 2am? Us Aussies are copping the maintenance at 4pm in the afternoon, for a lot of us that's when we get home from work... And goes until 12-1am.... When we're all well asleep. Then normal maintence starts at 8pm, so either way, we lose game time no matter what. And here you are complaining that maintenance starts at 2 in the morning, I'd be over the moon if that were the case for us.

    Having random unannounced maintenance is probably a good thing. Zenimax tries to make the game as addicting as possible so it make the most money. These maintenance breaks help mitigate the addictions they are causing. Yes I am a cyber-junkie looking for my fix of brain chemicals whenever I find a kuta. But it is slowing down my riding training and research.

    They're not actually whining. It's a secret contest about who gets the most incorrect spelling iterations of the word "maintenance".

    Sorry BFT, I start work at 5am, why can't they start work at 5am and start the downtime then? It's not suffering, it's called a job.

    If I was on their server maintenance payroll, I'd prefer an 8hr shift starting at 5am over one starting at 2am :P

    Humble Khajiit would like to remind walkers that maintenance ahead of a big change to ESO may be a good thing to help improve the game.

    The people who are complaining about the maintenance are the same people who complain about ZOS not fixing/improving the games. Now, would walkers please not spread their hypocrisy and venom over the forums.

    It's annoying yes, but maintenance is necessary or the game takes a blade of woe and then takes a LONG time to respawn.

    I think that at this point we all should be used to the fact they do maintenance on mondays at a time that doesn't please everyone.
    Find something else to do, that's all I can say. Study, read, go outside, go work, play another game, cook for your loved ones :lol: watch a movie, watch a tv show, tidy up your room/house, do groceries idk, plenty to do xD
    Edited to add: watch youtube videos about your class, how to get better, maybe about another class you're thinking about leveling up? Read guides, rumours, curiosities about the game etc (that's what I usually do haha)

    Im kinda getting sick of seing theres a maintaince happening the night i really looked forward to playing.

    What happened with the 5am ET time maintaince? 2am ET is a horrible time thats when i love to play .

    Im guessing workers got tired of doing maintaince at so late so now we gotta suffer for THEYRE problem

    Im not mad. Just disappointed. The 5AM ET maintaince was perfect for me :( hope they go back to it lately its been 2am ET .

    But i dont know about you but i really want patching on wednesday working instead sit for 8 hour on wednesday with maintaince just for nothing work and wait to play new DLC that will come then.

    Honest i dont know why people are whine about maintaince anyone that have play MMO before ESO should know by now that every MMO company do have maintaince days before a expansion and yes DLC can been see as expansion i mean blizzard have done for years so what is big problem.

    Because in the past week it's 16hrs "maintenance" alone, then offline for the update and download, so within a week on PC it's going to be no doubt a full 24hrs within a week. That's too long and NO ONE else is offline for that long, I used to think BF4 updates took ages but that was 2hrs tops once a month and contained far worse game breaking bugs at launch and Naval Strike teleport / 1fps update that come out.

    It's never that long, and there's usually a compensation of sort if it takes longer then usual. Dunno about WoW, maybe they're also that bad at it, but somehow i doubt that.

    I just hope they will allow us to download the update once the maintenance starts, not after it ends.

    How do you know that this is not upgrading hardware ahead of OT? Or preparing in general for OT? Of course though the walker obviously knows more than the people doing the maintenance. This is why the walker is not working on the game... and is moaning on the forums... Oh wait.

    Also, this one has been playing ESO originally on PC and then since day 1 on console. Tell this one again how long they have been here?

    Humble Khajiit just enjoys the game that much that this one is always willing to give the Green Speakers the benefit of the doubt when they are moving many things in the right direction.

    If this was not necessary do you think they would do it? 8 hours of people not being in the game also means 8 hours of not being in the crown store that walkers claim the Green Speakers only care about.

    Oh i would be SO happy if my employers were giving me that benefit of the doubt when i charge them for 8 hours instead of like 1 or 2 because of my incompetence in some task i was given. And if someone complains i could always respond: "do you know how DIFFICULT and time consuming it is to find out where i forgot to add the exception handling?"

    I know you can't please everyone all the time, but to actually WHINE about it...


    FYI its 11pm for me . And i usualy play till about 1 or 2 am . And its more than about me. Its about the incompetence of ZOS.

    So I'm going to make an assumption here - you've worked in the gaming industry, have an in-depth knowledge in the day-to-day operations and inner workings of keeping an always online MMO game megaserver in working condition.

    What do you want them to do? Wait until it completely sh!ts itself and then take 3 weeks to fix it?

    This isn't just directed at you, as there seems to be one of these threads every f'n maintenance!

    The Euro server ESPECIALLY has people from every Timezone in the world playing it - ergo, it's always going to inconvenience someone!

    Sheeeeesh!



    No its simple they are incompetent. If its hard for you to understand that then i dont know what to tell you.

    Truly infallible logic, that. :s

    I totally agree, Incompetent is a good word to use.
