Title: Hello from Bonny Scotland
Post by: Rych on 22 June 2013, 05:36:26 PM

Hello everyone!!
Been a lurker on here for ages, found it after becoming a member on the Post Apocalypse Wargames Forum, you can probably guess from that I have an interest in post apocalyptic wargames , zombies and fallout.
That said I also like other genres. I like WHF using Skaven and have a large 40k army of Orks, having collected them since I was 13. I would like to get into historicals , namely Celts/Romans but the funds are never there and when they are I suffer from the 'Ooooh Shiney' disease meaning I tend to spend said money before I plan it out.

Emir of Askaristan

It is a joke, based on the scottish word for "know" also being a male forename.

That is all.

Dour Scots humour Bezzo, We ken't fit ye ment!

To be fair, the Emir is confusing matters by liberal helpings of Doric.
As for Ken and his Scandic kenning abilities, you'll find this has survived well into English in the form of words like uncanny.

Anyhoo, welcome to the forum.

If yir awa anywies, al hae an ingin ane an aw.
