Mate, it's not because you 'ditched us' it's because you lied to us and said that you had to feed your dog! Then today you did basically the same, said you had to go to work with your dad instead of riding. I wouldn't have minded if you had just told us straight up and not just filled us all with bullsh!t! (Y)
All I can say is that you will always have mates, but you will never always have your girlfriend.
Just think long and hard about it mate because if you start getting pissy with your mates and you and your girlfriend split up, then who will you have then?
Meh, that's my 2pence! (Y)
EDIT: I just thought I would say this too, if you are going to come moaning to the forum then tell them the WHOLE story, not just half so that it looks like you are the good one and your mates are the bad ones!
