ABSOLUTELY HEAD-OVER-HEELS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. I JUST CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH!!!!

 

I'm getting a weird notice saying 'bandwith limit exceeded' in place of the picture

 

Larbert (Falkirk) ASDA

That's odd because I saw the picture a few hours ago, but now it's the bandwidth notice. I think it was Flywheels riding on Hound.

my local is trying to sell it for Fifty quid, the cheeky buggers...

 

Big thanks to @privatespoon for POTP Slash. Comparing it to the one I bought off a chinese seller, there's something definitely a bit ratty about the Chinese one. KO? Factory reject? Lunch-time special? Who knows, but the shoddy paint apps and packaging that pretty much disintegrated points toward something shady. As always, buyer beware.

Anyways, thanks for the Slash and the sweet little extra!

My local toy shop (Trowbridge) had Siege Voyagers in. £30.99!

 

Definitely something hooky about the Chinese cheap ones but that was a boon when it came to bashing Smash. Slash's stern pout was much more poorly defined on the pair I nabbed.

 

The wife informed me this evening that she took our son to Smyths today so he could spend his birthday money. All this without telling me.

Something tells me that the woman has got wise.

 

I won't repeat this to my missus incase she gets any ideas  

 

My resolve to not get involved with this Legend-class business is weakening...

My decision to cancel my Amazon Dinobots order is vindicated! Hopefully they'll still be around just after Christmas.  

12 days until Siege-mas!

 

Urgh! After being exposed to the Tech Rehearsal of out pantomime unter den orders of management, I can now say it is most definitely 2 hours and 20 minutes of your life you will never get back.
Pantos are definitely not my bag, baby.

 

More for kids really, I prefer normal musical theatre myself, audience participation is asking for trouble

 

'Oh yes they are!'

 

Ha ha ha h-

 

Dude that blaster and soundwave look smashing.

My better half got wise long ago. But shes just as bad when it comes to B&Q or homebase. Always finding ways to lure me there. Last week it was paint for the nursery. We left with two tester pots, but 4 house plants.

Ugh. Yup. Went the wife's company choir Carol service last week, and it was cringe worthy watching them try to get the audience singing along.

Fort Max may come with his master sword...

But Kringle Maxixmas comes with the master candy cane.

The decepticons will know his peppermint fury.

 

I got these from Tesco Direct in a sale many moons ago & I forgot to open it - which was kinda lucky as some months later I got the Optimus Loose at a Carboot sale and he's the main selling point of the set.

 

fucking hell, what an evening!

so, step son rang my wife at about 4 yesterday afternoon to say that the lady next door was waiting outside for him when he got home from college with her cat, asking if he wanted to see a trick (she's taught the cat to high-five), then got a bit odd and asked him to boil a kettle for her - he said no, then went in, terrified, and locked the door - so pretty much the exact scenario that me and the wife were concerned about- later in the evening her son turned up, and an apocalyptic row kicked off - you could hear stuff being chucked around, and a couple of recycling bins got smashed - he then stormed off somewhere and our doorbell rings - I go to answer, and it's her asking me to ring the police as her son's just assaulted her and wants her locked up so he can run drugs from the house (not the craziest thing I've ever heard from her - the son is a shady shit) - so, now with a decent excuse, I get the wife to ring 999 to get the police out, and I ring the NHS number to see about some medical help and get a bit of advice - got to say, that NHS number is great, but they've not got a very good script - the nurse had to process it as if it was me having the mental crisis, which was a bit odd..

anyhow, a random van turned up and some guy I've never seen before get out and goes next door - he was still there when the police rocked up about 5 mins later - the police were in for about half an hour then popped round to ours to see what we knew - clearly there were a few things that she had neglected to mention to the police - mainly about not taking her meds -

so, long story short, I'm getting back onto the housing association first thing to update them - she's not safe in the house, clearly can't cope (turns out she was asking for the boiled kettle as she's completely run out of electric, so is living off candlelight) - and it's really not fair to be putting us in the situation where we have such volatility right next door when we have a vulnerable young adult just making his first steps towards independence... fucking real life, eh?

Robits?- got the last 2 siege deluxe in and got a chance to open them - managed to avoid the QC lottery on Skytread's hips - god, there is literally nothing I would change about it.. Sideswipe is stellar too, but like others have mentioned, might be in the market for one more accessory - namely a white rifle - will see what Spurt Reynolds can oblige with.. very much looking forward to finding the voyagers...

 

Jesus wept, sounds like you've had a time of it @scamper. Hopefully the NHS can get your neighbour back on her medication and straightened out. How long has she lived next door to you?

Hopefully this won't be a situation your step son will have to deal with again.

 

near as damn it a year to the day ( we think) - she still hasn't decorated in that time and the house has fairly rapidly deteriorated, so I'm not at all sure if this mental issue is a recent thing or something that she's know about, but neglected to tell anyone about...

 

Good God, @scamper. That sounds like an absolute nightmare.

Hope you get everything sorted ASAP.

 

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

@scamper that sounds...a bit intense. Hope it all gets sorted out so everyone, including your neighbour, are good. I lived in housing association flats where one of the neighbours had serious mental health issues. My heart went out to them, because they were not having a good time, but they did get volatile very frequently.

on a cheerier note, how satisfying is this? I am so glad this actually happened.


Also, this guy came in post a few days, but I forgot to post the photos (because nothing is real unless we document it, right). What a freak show! I've still not actually decided what I think about him.
