Newbie saying hi :)

As there seems to be no dedicated welcome forum, I'll just open a topic here to say hi to you all

Interesting to see a board like this - been in Finland for like 3 years now and this is the first time I've seen this place. Looks pretty good so far

Cya,

Dankku

Aye aye Dankku

Welcome to the group!

I'm a Welshman, but been around a bit, and in Finland on and off for about 9 years...

Saw the Soltaire flying there. Where abouts? Lived in Cawdor, near Inverness for 4 years or so myself...

Cheers
Gavin

Dyslexia, you know...

I've seen a couple of vairiatons on the badger thing on http://www.b3ta.com

I was looking for the deleted LOTR badger scenes, but I don't have the inclination to look to hard for them.

So what's an Ayrshire lad doing in Helsinki. Not another IT specialist?

Hei Dankku and welcome

Im from Norway originally but now live in the NW of England for my sins.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the forum as I find people are so helpful and are a pleasure to chat with.

Gods, no. Management consultant, if you must know. I know only enough about computers to crash them

@Helmi: Takk! So you're Norwegian, living in England, and you're posting in a board for english-speakers in Finalnd.... 'kay, makes perfect sense

Well, with a second name like Cruickshank, you should expect a few ancestoral ties to Scotland (apart from that, as you know, we all just despise the English

)

That link just took me back to the main page. Have another dram, and try again boyo

Hmm, well, if I did, would I mention it on a public board? I think not

Erm, well, my parents are English, so I can't really despise the English. Coz then i'd have to despise my parents too.

...oh, hold on, that makes sense actually. Let's all despise the English then, sassenachs!
