    Thanks for the kind words. I can't take the holiday. She is there now, it was in her name.

    Sorry to hear of your troubles pod, that is really harsh. I can speak from my own experience that these things have a tendency to happen at the worst times, but I can also echo what Sixo said and say it will get better. I'm sure you feel the absolute worst right now and you'll have up and down days, but in time you'll get over her.

    Hearing about things like this remind me of this dialogue from the film 'As Good As It Gets':

    Receptionist: "How do you write women so well?"
    Melvin: "I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability."

    I hope you didn't pay for it mate. Maybe she just wanted to take a mate on a girls holiday, just be sure that if she comes crawling back after the holiday that you don't fall for it.....
    If she didn't want you with her there, then there's bound to be reason that isn't in your interests.

    There is a word for people like that, they are cunts. She's done you a massive favour Pod by revealing herself now than waiting further, or otherwise (as someone else said) you could be living together or married before you saw her true colours.

    Don't be surprised if she's been seeing someone else. These things are never out of the blue for the person doing the dumping so just cut her completely off. Block her, delete her number and never allow her to poison your life again.

    agreed!

    got dumped by letter when i was 21 by someone i pretty much loved , she was a bloody coward ! and i reckon there was someone else but then a few months later she pursued me again i stupidly let her into my life again ( she was fit tho and i was young and stupid :lol  ) only for her to fuck with my head again! which i woke up to and finished it myself... women like that your better off without pod probably not what you want to hear as break ups are hard but its true.

    after the relationship with my daughters mum 8 or so years ago i prefer being single and not being tied down to the one woman :D

    Oh dear Pod I am so sorry and shocked to hear this. What a bitch!
    This won't help, but take it as a narrow escape from a duplicitous sounding person.
    Saying those words, and 2 hours later splitting, very two-faced. You are better off without someone like that!
    As Morgan says, even if you're hurting on the inside, externally flick that switch and expunge every trace of her from your life.

    Woah! That's some serious coin to drop. You must be a big Abominus fan!
    I hope they turn out good, and no nasty QC to spoil the experience.

    There's only 3 combiner teams I'd consider doing that for in 3P:
    Seacons (a set as cool looking as Ordin does)
    Raiden/Trainbots (ditto as above)
    Constructicons (they'd have to beat the TT UW set, and be truly MP worthy, and no 3P Constructicon team has done that so far).

    There is a ko of Sunstreaker. There is a a website that lists to the differences between genuine & ko TF's but I can't remember the name. TO GOOGLE!

    Not a link but this may help.
    The counterfeit has "Ages. 5 & Up" instead of "Ages: 5 & Up" on front of box--it uses a period instead of a colon. This is the same difference as on Mirage and Wheeljack's boxes.

    One of my favourite films ever! This gif has been confiscated!

    I could have used this quote myself a while back Sensai.
    I know about the path to madness/sadness.


    Having been through a similar situation, I agree with Morgan.
    To do it so close to your holiday...........thats cold calculating heartlessness.
    Made me angry just reading what she done mate.

    There are no words that anyone can offer to console you I'm sure, hopefully you can take some strength knowing that we collectively are all hear for you, to listen and try and help, or feel free to PM me, or any other UKers yo may feel closer to.
    Sorry buddy.

    Considering how much I like the KFC Magnus hands I've gone ahead and ordered the Star Saber one's. Anyone know if the Prime ones are any good?

    Just looked at my Deluxe Animated Prime (who's currently sitting on the sofa wrestling with a stress ball in fishnets) and thought, "There's Morgan."

    Stupid internet...

    First world problems rant, which I know is completely trivial, natch: transformed my MP G2 BB. And he has a scratch right in the middle of his battle-mask, not as bad as Maz's did, but still obvious. Takara farts in the bath and turns round to bite the bubbles. Have swapped it out (breaking two fingernails in the process) for his smiley face, which seems to suit better than the one that came with MP G1 BB (not sure if it's actually exactly the same or not), now he looks ace flying in his jetpack....but he would have looked so nice with the proper (IMHO) toy face...sigh. Initially thought G2 BB felt light and not-quite-the-right-plasticky, like a KO, but then I realised it's just that my MP KOs (that I've recently been playing with) are so high-quality they feel almost like the real thing. Plus I've been playing with Cybertron scouts. (Although his main jetpack piece is a bit light. And he has scuff marks on the silver part. And on the top of his chest, in front of the window. And a smaller one behind. Takara, everyone you fuck demands a refund.) Anyway, am loving G2 Bee and glad I got him, just not transforming him again with his face (any face) plugged in!

    @CS: Wicked owlshark! Shouldn't be impossible to make one, either. That day will come...

    Also, I don't see anything unusual about that koala. It is Australian, after all.

    @Stevil: Which movie was that, the one whose .gif you just confiscated from Morg? Enquiring minds want to know! :) 

    @Sixo: Agree on the handsomeness of Bee! Haven't put any stickers on yet as am debating whether to sticker up G2Swipe and start a Yaniger-inspired badass G2 crew, or just leave them both as they are. Haven't done dry transfers; are they much better, then? Last time I used Reprolabels (putting faction symbols on MMC Predacons, plus FT Shockwave and Swoop) I was frustrated by how difficult they were to un-stick from their backing sheet, ended up ruining a fair few of them, when I should have been patient and fetched a scalpel.

    @Tikgnat: Awesome Terrorcon photos, dude! Modern TFs mimicking G1 boxart is one of my favourite things. Might do the UT Terrorcons once I get the FT Dinos and the MMC DJD done, and if I do then I'm'a gonna blame you! Also Crumble is a better bounty hunter than...um....Boba Fett! *phew, survived again!* :) 

    @Vanessa: Modern Seacons would be amazing and I would buy the *three seconds of well-known violin music by a popular classical composer* out of them! Also, .won dlrowitnA ni lla era eW

    @Kgorman79: 'tis a TUNE indeed, one of my fave pop songs ever! I don't know Istanbul at all though, will go look for it on Youtube next.

    @Loosecannon:

    It was indeed Inhumanoids. Thanks for the Internet! I shall treasure it. And not sell it to aliens so sick they've started liking human pr0n. Warped human pr0n. With [this message deleted by your alien friends! We are into wholesome things, like cement midgets, floss spools, and mom's apple pie! Your human moms, of course. Mmmmm, pie. We were grown in a tank. Are you really brought by stalks? How fascinating. This is why we watch your mating instruction videos. For educational purposes. Yes.] :)

    I am not entirely sure how to follow that post from Neuta....

    Can you imagine if a guy did that! Really sorry to hear that. It sucks. She clearly has issues and no matter how you feel, this may be easier for you in the long run. Still.... sucks. Getting back in the dating game is rough, I know. But keep at it, mate.

    I understand the exhaustion and fatigue of this kind of situation, better than most. Life has a way of putting you through hell, and then dangling some promise just within reach, and snatching it away. It feels sometimes like life gets off on magnifying your pain.

    But, one day you will meet someone and you will look back and realise that you couldnt have been happy if this horrible thing had not happened... Not that this will help you today.

    Drop me a PM if you want to chat. Any time.

    Using colons instead of periods. Sounds familiar.

    When is Wave 4 going to arrive?
