  1. Howdy friends!!

    Today's been a bit of a mix of emotions really! 

     

    I saved a bee this morning. The poor guy (I have since named Dippy Dave) get stuck inside, I gave him some sugar and guided him to the window. Fly on my Black and yellow friend... :blush:

    My car had it's very first MOT today. It failed, which was a complete shock. My front right tyre had a bulge and my rear left wheel had buckled... a replacement wheel would've been £231 plus labour and I decided to get 4 new tyres... It made more sense to bite the bullet and buy 4 brand new wheels and tyres, it was better value for money that to pay £231 for 1 wheel rather than £476 for 4 wheels. Plus I'd been wanting to refurb my wheels for a long time.... 

     

    Anyway, how're you friends!? 

     

    Also, picture for reference of my car :D She's not quite as cool as @Lucky Bolt's truck but she's my baby and now also my money pit.... :Thorax:

      I'm doing good today! I haven't been up to much though, just playing video games mostly. :SassySaddles2:

  3. Good evening every pony! How are we all doing? 

     

    Just a quick drop in from me I', absolutely shattered so I'm hitting the hay.

     

    I've got some great news today! Not only are we still having thunderstorms (I LOOOVE Thunderstorms), I got word from the police, they've sent me a condition offer of employment. If I get the forms sent back in time I'm looking at a September start date. 

     

    I'm so excited! This could be my break!!

     

    Anyway, I'm tired so I'm heading off. Catch you all on the flippity flop!

      Good evening, my friend! :fluttershy: I've been alright, thanks – I hope your day has been a good one too. :grin:

  5. I'm curious as to what your thoughts/ opinions are on this show? I'm just about finished watching it and I'm sorta on the fence. I feel it missed it's potential. It could've been a very good show, I have much respect for Carrell and many of the other cast but I just felt the show fell short of the mark. That being said, I still enjoyed watching it. As the season got on I found myself becoming more and more entertained by it. I kinda hope they make a second series but do it the right way, they could have a hit on their hands!
  6. okay... that's better than it was, still not great... 

     

    Also, new profile pic to boot cos why not?

    1. Tacodidra

      Happy forumversary, my friend! :mlp_yeehaa:

  9. I ate a dog biscuit once at a party... Never again. Worse taste I've ever come across
  10. Well today was mostly good... 

    The girl I'd asked out on a date (and she had said yes) messaged me today and said she wasn't interested in a date, she's found somebody else to go with... 

     

    I'm okay, it's not the first time it's happened and probably won't be the last either. 

     

    I think that calls for a evening of ponies and escapism... speak to you all tomorrow!

      Don't get married, don't do long term relationships. Ask a girl if she believes that men and women should be equal in a relationship. When she says yes, tell her she can pay her half of the date.

      *hugs* :sunny:

      I'm sorry to hear that, my friend! I'm sure you'll find someone else soon! :kindness:

    4. AJ2489

      AJ2489

      Thank you all! I really appreciate your comments and concern! I'm alright tho, it just wasn't what I was expecting to hear... 

       

      Love you guys :wub:

  11. I like it! Not a huge fan of the controller design, it looks too much like a new stormtrooper helmet but the console itself looks cool!
  12. 10 Clover Field Lane Wasn't sure what to expect going in but I was positively surprised!
  13. Good Morning all! 

     

    In true AJ2489 fashion, I managed to get on the forums for more than 30 seconds and then I missed the forums for a day :angry:

     

    Whoever thought this being an adult thing would work out really needs to be told otherwise...

     

    How are we all doing my friends? 

     

    Day 15 and 16 (Gotta catch up!): Funniest Moment and Saddest Moment... 

    Funniest: Most  of the scenes with Pinkie in. She's so random that even on my 3rd sit through i'm still laughing like a lunatic at her antics (never change Pinkie, never change...) 

     

    Saddest Moment: I keep going on about it but the end of A Perfect Pear (I love that episode) 

    The people who know me IRL know that I am extremely unemotional (probably one of my biggest flaws) and a part of that means I never cry at film or TV etc. To record, the only media that's brought me to genuine tears was A Perfect Pear.... 

    1. TotallyNotNyx

      TotallyNotNyx

      Yeah I'm not looking forward to being an adult lmao. 

      And yeah me too. I'm described as being a robot lol. I can feel an emotional moment slightly but I rarely ever cry. 

    2. AJ2489

      AJ2489

      @Princess of Luck 🍀🔥 Delay it as much as you can XD 

       

      Yeah... I'm the same, unless I watch the Perfect pear and Idk why lol!

    3. IgnitedEnergy

      IgnitedEnergy

      Good morning, my friend! :fluttershy:

  14. Woohooo! Some time to call my own XD 

    Time for a forum catch-up me thinks. What's new?

     

    Day 14: Favourite Scene... I honestly have no idea. What would you guys say? 

     

    Anyway, we're over the hill now. just a couple days to go then I can have a rest :ButtercupLaugh:

      @AJ2489Her body colour doesn;t really belong to either parent so its pretty hard to guess based on that.

      I'll give you a clue. Her name is Apple Harmony and her cutie mark is an apple with a musical note on it

    4. TotallyNotNyx

      TotallyNotNyx

      Not fluttershy lmao.  :ButtercupLaugh:

      I mean, it would make sense that I would put the other pony on my best pony section

  15. "Maybe I'll get 5 minute to browse the forums today" Is what I foolishly thought when I woke up this morning. *sighs* maybe tomorrow...

    I hope your week is treating you right! Things are good here. Basically theres a guy who has it out for me at work for literally no reason and he got re-furloughed today and I didn't... I'm classing that as a victory :ButtercupLaugh: Thank you Celestia!!!

     

    Anyway, Day 13 (or 12b if you're superstitious, I'm just a little stitious :ButtercupLaugh:) : My Favourite Episode...

    The Perfect Pear. I know the plot is the classically overused Romeo and Juliet format but the MLP spin on this is my favourite one, plus it gave us some very very satisfying world building for the apple family. 

     

    AAAAANNYWAAAAYY, I'm off to bed ready for round 3 tomorrow. Catch you all later! 

     

    P.S, if you get the "Office" reference you get an extra "Boop" from me XD

    How are we all doing? 

     

    Anyway, I'm gonna get some shut eye, back for round 2 tomorrow! 

     

    Anyway, day 12: favourite season.

    Season 7. A big reason for that is the perfect pear but it's got some other gems like a royal problem, to change a changeling etc 

     

    Anyway, sorry for the lack of activity but I can barely keep my eyes open!

     

    Goodnight friends!

    So, day 11: Favourite Ship.

      Hmm being busy, I've never felt busy in my life tbh

  19. Woah just realised I almost forgot to do the MLP challenge thingy LOL!

    Day 9: Least Relatable Character:

    Rarity. I feel really bad saying that cos I love her, I think her character is amazingly written and Tabitha's VA work is master class but the character is just very different from who I am :blush: Sorry Rarity!

    30 Day Challenge.jpg

    1. AJ2489

      AJ2489

      P.S, Apologies for the lack of activity I have been really busy today! Hopefully I'll get on tomorrow but I'll be spending the morning elbow-deep in car oil, It's time to change the oil on my Morris Minor !

    2. Tacodidra

      Tacodidra

      *hugs* That's alright, my friend! :rarity: I hope the oil change goes well (and the rest of your weekend likewise)! :kindness:

  20. @Rainbow Cloud Eyy, a fellow Brit! Hey!
  21. Yep I'd be a very different person for sure. The show and the fandom has helped me through more than I can ever repay (Thank you all SO MUCH for that!). I grew up with the traditional Northern English surroundings i.e told not to speak my feelings because I'm "a bloke and Northerners don't show any emotion" but the fandom has taught me that it's okay to have emotions, it's okay to ask for help. Don't get me wrong I am extremely proud to call my self a Northerner, I eat, sleep and breathe the Northern Lifestyle here in the UK but the fandom has taught me it's okay to deviate from that pattern in some areas. Just that thought alone has helped me through some difficult times. A lot of you know this already but the whole reason I found you guys is because of those infamous "Brony Cringe" videos because I found myself fascinated with the phenomena rather than cringing at the video. That curiosity led me to watch Applejack's day off, and the rest is history. All in all, I owe some much to you all, and the show, and there is no way I could ever repay it all, as hard as I may try. So thank you. Thank you all!
