Just got registered and validated and would like to say hello!

This place looks like a breath of fresh air, rather than the stale stink of decay wafting around QRZ. I decided to join after reading a thread on Corey's problems personalising his forum account. Seriously, wtf?

Anyway - my intention is to post about worthwhile and interesting stuff, so since my homebrew post on QRZ has started little discussion over a week, I'll try again here in the homebrew section and see what happens.

Welcome. I'd like to stay and chat, but the Mahi are running. Got to get my lounge set up at the end of the bar, bait the hook, and get an umbrella drink in hand. Priorities and all that, ya know.

Yo barkeep. Get this lad a cocktail and put it on my tab, tnx.

Welcome to the Island, Dan. Kick off your shoes and socks, pull up a hammock and order yourself an umbrella drink. They're on the house!

Welcome Dan! Ill be honest with you, the political forum here is the busiest one and a post can sit in a lesser used forum on the island for a while without any replies, but that certainly doesnt mean we dont care or, like QRZ, that we somehow feel superior to you and require you to bow before our greatness...nah, were just a load of misfits here. Posts dont get deleted, especially from people we dont agree with, we (of course, meaning admin) leave them up for all to see.

The basic premise here is simple...if you're cool, were cool. You seem cool, so welcome!

Although bowing before our (imagined) greatness never hurts...

Actually, I read every new post every day so if I don't answer a question or add a comment, it's because I don't know the answer or feel that I have anything worthwhile (or at least a smart-ass comment) to add, not that you're being ignored.

Oh, and by the way, unlike the Zed, you won't get banned for using the F-word here, although that's best kept to the members-only forums.

Welcome to the Island, Dan. References to us on the Zed are covered in their "Gnats and Vermin" subsection of Ragchew.
We keep the bar stocked with most everything but if you don't see something, just ask.
Today's bar snack is something that just washed ashore with the Southern tide that runs every Winter.

Its snowing a lot here at the moment in Cardiff, so I expect things will be looking very magical up in Brecon :) My Welsh is somewhat rusty, so as much as I would like to return to you in Welsh, I think it may be embarrassing! Thank you for the many welcomes, songs and happiness ;)

Ah STALKER, such an awesome, awesome game. Haven't played the third in the series yet due to computer lameness.

The English to Welsh translation is actually quite good - it makes sense. I did check with the Welsh to English too, but that was not so good:

Hey Dan, you might as well get used to "thread hijack" around here. Its not considered offensive, and in fact, its encouraged! So feel free to post about anything you like, then sit back and try to count how many times it morphs into something else, complete with dirty humor and quick one liners. Its always a good time over here....some folks "over there" will never understand what humor and not-being-important-because-im-just-a-friggin-ham-radio-operator really means. We certainly do over here. Ham radio, and laughter for that matter, are still very important features to this particular roster.

Hope its your cup of java. :agree:

Hi Hugh
Yes this is deliberate :) I like the drink ouzo and my first cat was called Ouzo.

Llangollen Light Railway, the engine is Foxcote Manor.
