If I recall correctly, Euan flaked but somehow it was NoHo's fault? Haha.

I want to make it clear i'm not looking for an argument or a 'bash noho' session. I was living in Dublin when they would have been finished and missed all of the details.

Oh aye I flaked. This time last year I paid my deposit. I waited for it to be finished but come November I bought a house and could not commit to spending £400 on guitar and I've since been selling most of my stuff. I don't actually believe any parts were built for my Mercury, at least not left handed.

So yeah, I flaked but I think you can understand why.

I thought so. All I could clearly remember was you're the first person ever to flake and nobody hate you for it.

I didn't make a big deal about it and neither did Noho. Noone lost out.

I would think after that long, all bets are sort of off.

That's because he didn't flake.

You can't flake if someone isn't making any product for you after months of waiting.

I get tired of Malik shooting his mouth off about stuff he doesn't have a clue about.

It was clearly in jest. When I read what is written, it's a subtle dig at NoHo, while making Euan seem really cool. I guess I suck at communication? Yes?

Euan admitted to flaking, obviously by flake I simply meant "pulled out of a deal", and obviously it's not the malicious lip piercing type of flaking we're used to. And it's true, Euan didn't get any stick for it, simply because he flaked the righteous way, and he had his reasons.

Please don't bully me, I'm in a good mood. Here's a smiley: :D

The word Flake itself implies that your behavior was "not cool". There was nothing really flaky about what he did, or what NoHo did if they returned his deposit. I'm assuming they did.
