I need to share my joy! (aka the Happy Thread)

[UltraMarginal]

Awesome to be home after 3 weeks globetrotting.

Belated honeymoon for the wife and I took us to Rome, Florence, Venice, Paris and Hong Kong. It was our first time overseas so was massively exciting. Saw some fantastic things and met some great people.

Rome was by my favourite, followed closely by Venice.

Speaking of Rome, My wife found a shop there that sold quite a decent range of TFs. It was great If I wasn't on a very strict time limit I could have spent hours in there even though it was a tiny shop. Anyway I picked myself up a couple of 3rd party items after some haggling, an iGear MP Ramjet and a MMC HoS Thundercracker.



Here is their website. If you're ever in Rome, I recommend you have a look. Their English is pretty much non-existant though. We caught a taxi there from the Vatican museum, had him wait for us out the front for 20 minutes, then drive us back to our hotel, on the other side of Rome, all for 25 euro.

The only downside to the whole holiday was that I got sick in Hong Kong. Feeling like you have been hit by a bus does not make for a pleasant flight home

Glad you had a great honeymoon Trent, it's great when you're better half supports spending a little time in a place like that, on a trip like that. The last day of our honeymoon was an unplanned stopover in San Francisco due to our flight being cancelled. we spent the day driving around shopping, I ended up with a kit bag full of baseball gear with a few transformers squeezed in for good measure. Mrs UltraMarginal obviously bought stuff too
Good times

Speaking from very recent experience (and believe me I could go on and on and on), it's such an enormous undertaking. I was wrecked after spending a week moving (albeit a week that ended with Tough Mudder, so that probably contributed).

And there goes, all my sympathy,

Best of luck. If you need packing boxes, we have heaps (these particular boxes helped a friend of ours move internationally, so they're sturdy enough to survive a shipping container)

Bro points earned though.

My god!... What do those poor people have stuck on their faces??!

My first thought also worse than head crabs!!

We're going to have the truck for the whole weekend, plus we're moving only about half hour away from where we currently are, so that helps. Also we've done this all before except that the last time was a lot harder, but I know it'll be a lot easier this time.

Boxes always come in handy, but we should be ok. Thanks for the offer!

The short moves are worse, because the temptation to not label and pack properly is higher. good luck with the move Megatron. sounds like you have some great plans for the new place.

My friend had free tickets for Big Day Out, we only just got back from watching Red Hot Chilli Peppers perform.

hard to beat seeing a favorite band live, unless you get to see them live for free.


I've been spending the last few nights getting buried in Fall Of Cybertron, It is SOOO much fun stomping around as Grimlock punching stuff.

Also spent the last few weeks opening up most of my First Edition Prime figures, awesome transformations.
I had Arcee balanced on the desk in a karate pose, just couldn't get it to balance anywhere except in front of the keyboard. now I'll have to try it at home.

Watched Episode 1 of TF Prime on Blue Ray the other day.

OH. MY. THE. PRETTY.
