    Oooh, that's very clever, thanks!
    Might ask around and see if I can borrow a soldering iron for that. Hoping that will help with some of the tighter pins I'm struggling with too!

    Had a complete blockage of a blood vessel supplying the heart with blood. Same kind of heart attack that Kevin Smith had, known as the Widowmaker.

    FYI if you do attempt this I would also advise popping a wee dab of superglue right into the pin's channel hole just before reinsertion (making sure not to put too much in & not to get any on any surrounding surfaces where it could fuse parts you don't want fused.).

    Watched that earthspark episode - was great! Def a step above what I’ve seen of tf cartoons in recent memory (no knock to em). Music was a great element in it I thought.
    Yes, gimme that g2 screamer! Hm, or a pretender/action master inspired one…

    He looks awesome!

    What a beaut - best mold of the last 10 years?

    Sorry to hear that - hope things recovering and wasn’t too bad!
    Edit: oh shit, scratch the last bit and severely boost the first bit of the last sentence!!

    I will not profess to understand the long term implications of that at all, but I hope the long term prognosis for you is good.

    Thank you!

    Waiting to hear about the long term myself as I haven't been given any info. I've totally changed my diet to stave off further blockages and I'm on a tonne of medication now.

    Many thanks!

    Probably stay on sale until it sells right down. I'll add more to it too. I've got a meeting on Friday which I'm hoping will tell me where I'm at and what the future holds so that will decide further reductions etc.

    "
    AHA reports that only about 12 percent of people who suffer this type of heart attack away from a hospital survive. The statistics increase to a 25 percent survival rate for those who happen to be in the hospital at the time of the heart attack.
    "

    Wow. Congratulations for making it through. I wanted to make a joke about Earthrise, but what happened to you is slightly better.


    More seriously: please do take care of yourself. This kind of event is of the "life before and after" type. I recommend speaking to your doctor about any lifestyle changes that can improve your experience.

    Well now, THAT is SMORT! And seems a way better way to take a punt at him than the roulette of dye-dipping I was mulling over!
