  1. Finally, some time off work! I've been super busy, strange to think it's been almost 12 months since I started my new job! How are ya'll anyway?

  2. Happy Friday folks! Hope you're all keeping well! It's been pretty bloody hot round here the past week or so, been the hottest summer I know of for the longest time!!

     

    Hope you're all keeping safe and well!! :D :D :D

      I look forward to it too, of course! :yay: And I can't remember the last time the Friday of an F1 weekend was so exciting (though Saturday should bring the most surprises for obvious reasons). :grin:

  4. Hello, Hi and How do you do? 

    Hiya, it's been a while! I hope everyone is keeping well. I am doing pretty well on my end though my life seems to have taken the express train to crazy town and the brakes have failed! 

    I hope everyone is okay! Nice to see the fandom is alive and kicking, I can only apologise for my absence. I may not be active in the community anymore but my love for the show and the fans has not diminished. As always I want to be more active on here but it may not be the case. if anyone wants to connect on social media I would be more than happy to do that, would be nice to keep in touch with ya'll more regularly :)

    Anyway, I'll sign off for now. Got a busy week ahead of me and I need as much energy as I can muster. Stay strong friends :)

      @AJ2489 It's so awesome! Good to see you again my friend!:squee:

  6. *Yawns* Morning folks! 

     

    I need another few hours in bed this morning, ah well. Multiple cups of coffee will have to do!

    Whats new? 

  7. Wow where to begin! I'm sure I've told this story plenty of times and I'm sorry if this is too repetitive for you!! I discovered the show at a very strange point in my life. I had always been aware of the show's fandom phenomenon but I'd never looked into it other than there must be something special about the show to have such a following. I distinctly remember having a few mates around, passing the time away playing COD WAW Zombies and one way or another we ended up browsing youtube watching stuff like Joe from Joey's world tour doing the green wasabi challenge. Then a friend put on one of the infamous "brony cringe" videos. I remember sitting there watching these people expressing themselves through this show not aimed at their demographic and I found myself fascinated as to what makes this show so appealing. Fast forward a couple weeks and I'm browsing youtube just wasting time and somehow youtube decided to recommend to me "Applejack's Day Off". I decided to watch this episode just to see what the fuss was about and well, I was hooked. After watching the show in it's entirety I've come to understand Applejack's day off isn't the best the show as to offer but regardless I was so interested with the story, the level of writing and the effort the show creators put into the episode that I started to watch a couple more. I then decided to start from the beginning and I think I watched the show in it's entirety (There were 7 seasons at that point) in something like 3 weeks. I can't explain how or why but the show gave me strength and motivation to get out of bed in a morning and push through my GCSE's. I was at a low point back then, something I've only cones to realise after the fact, but the show helped. And then I found the forums. I know I haven't been the most active member, i'm prone to disappearing sometimes for months at a time but you all mean more to me than I can say or express. Everyone of you that I have met or seen on the forums have been super super friendly and so welcoming! It was a nice relief to meet genuinely nice people who care and share similar interests to me. As for the show it's self. I have never come across a show/ piece of media etc that has brought out physical emotion from me, The Perfect Pear has affected me (positively) massively!! I'm rambling and I probably don't make much sense so I'm going to stop talking! Anyway, yeah. I love the show and I love you guys! Heres to the future
  8. Well I guess that's "Summer" over with, we had 3 days of dry weather and now the heavens have opened haha. 

     

    Oh and the puppy decided she wanted my coat for her tea last night so now I gotta go and buy a new one... ugh! 

     

    Anyway, how are we all?

      @Midnight Danny That's been on my list of games to check out for ages! I really need to get round to it! 

       

      @EpicEnergy That's great to hear! I'm doing well myself :)

  9. So I got the news today any Remembrance Sunday parades/ wreath laying etc etc is not allowed in my local area this year, to the point where business aren't even allowed to put up poppies on lamp posts. I understand the parades but not the lack of poppies. 

    But rather than get extremely annoyed by it, myself and a mate are determined to still raise money and awareness this year and so we want to do a sponsored walk. 

    Does anyone here know the best way to go about planning one/ has planned one before and wouldn't mind giving us advice? Any tips would be very much appreciated :)

  10. This might not be an easy time
    There's rivers to cross and hills to climb
    Some days we might fall apart
    And some nights might feel cold and dark.


    But nobody wins afraid of losing
    And the hard roads are the ones worth choosing
    Some day we'll look back and smile
    And know it was worth every mile

  17. Howdy friends! How are we? 

     

    Apologies for the inactivity, my puppy decided to break my laptop screen and so it took me a while to find a guy willing to repair it for me but here we are! :)

     

    Things have been absolutely CRAZY here. Long story short, I've handed my notice in at work, start a new job in September and I'm moving house! Needless to say, it's going to be an intense few months! 

     

    How are you all?

  18. The older I get, the more I realise music is what grounds me. Regardless of how I feel, I turn to music for everything... 

     

    Just gotta find someone with similar tastes to me...

      I do like La Japonaise though - and the way the two different languages are balanced against each other.

      And of course not even Freddie could have held that note at the 4 minute mark :D

  19. Just Relax!! Everything will be alright
  20. It's a real real shame to see you go Lucky... I, along with many many others, are gonna miss you a lot!!

    So long my friend, stay awesome! :)

  21. Hey @Ixrec It's a pleasure to meet you! Welcome to the herd
  22. Hey friends. 

    I can't help but feel there is an air of sadness around the forums today, I believe something happened last night that has caused a bunch of members to leave the forums but I'm not privy to such events. 

    I think it's a real shame we have lost so many members in one go. I felt I should drop an update acknowledging the event and also to offer my support to anybody who needs it. Please please DM me if you want to talk, even if it's just in general to keep your mind off other things. I'm here for you. 

    I know I haven't been the most active member in the past but I have no intentions of leaving the forums anytime soon. You all have helped me through so much and I want to be on hand to return the favour :)

  23. This is such a hard one for me to answer!!! I prefer the individual music of the Beach boys but I can really appreciate the impact The Beatles had on the music industry.... I guess I'll pick The Beatles because I live right by Liverpool so I can't move for Beatles fans, they might hurt me if I vote otherwise XD
