Deniliquin is getting really annoyed with phone companies at the moment, annoyed is actually putting it politely as many would happily add an F word before annoyed or say something entirely different that we won’t print.

Telstra and Optus have both had problems in recent weeks and the outages have been annoying the absolute heck out of locals because of the high amount of outages such as the one shown below.

So far our website poll asking if people are happy with phone companies currently has 86% of voters saying ‘No’ and that number has the potential to increase over time before the poll closes.

We’ll let readers know how the polls end up and amend the above with final totals but it is already clear that local levels of happiness with the phone companies is shrinking by the day.

Pokémon Go Deniliquin

Pokémon Go Deniliquin is steady on 179 members and has no new posts since November 24.

There are reports that Trading and Player vs. Player battles will be put into a game in the future, one of the two would already be available if it wasn’t for server instability.

Pokémon Shuffle News

Past and present locals are still making progress on Pokémon Shuffle though it is getting harder to get somewhere.

As you know our two regular gamers Boony and Tiggy are racing each other on the mobile version of the game but have stalled in recent weeks with Boony up to Stage 192 and Tiggy has  moved up to Stage 219 and we will continue to follow the race as it progresses.

Stage 214 has the Bug Pokémon Spewpa as the challenge whilst Stage 192 has the Normal Pokémon Lickilicky.

Boony and Tiggy are level when it comes to totals of Pokemon caught with both having a total of 198 Pokémon.

We will be back next fortnight with a new edition of The Deni Pokemon Wrap.

Local outdoor sports players have had a hard time training recently due to high temperatures in the local area.

Rovers training has been cancelled on a couple of occasions and so has Rams training/selections but the Rams managed to get some in last night with the team training in short spurts followed by long breaks to keep players cool and safe.

Temperatures have always been a problem as readers may remember that some Football and Netball practice matches were cancelled last year due to heat which made preparations less than ideal but in the end did not cripple the Rovers preparations.

There may be some good news with current long range projections showing that temperatures in the early part of next week will be in the high 20’s before creeping up into the low 30’s which could mean at least one fairly comfortable training session.
