Hi

Hi all,

 Iv'e been on the site for a couple of months so thought I would say hello. I'm a Devonian and walk mainly on Dartmoor. I run an Explorer Scout group and Ten Tors teams so getting out on the hills with them is great. I think this is a great site with good advice so look forward to getting to 'know' you all.  ( hi mole)

Hi Paul,

Welcome to OM

<Shakes left handed as used to be a Sea Scout>

welcome, paul.

mole said he was off to scouts...  good evening then?

Hi Paul,

Welcome to OM

<Shakes uncontrollably, but the pills help a little>

make sure you fit him with a hobble before you start

my parents live down that way - you'll often find them on the moor, brandishing walking sticks at any irresponsible young adults passing them at more than 1.5 mph.

....mole will be joining us on Sunday, seems a nice chap. 

Hi Paul, welcome to OM.

Mole is a relatively civil chap, he doesn't snore too loudly.

Just spotted this

Hi Paul - looking forward to a day out tomorrow

@ Mrs Nesbit.

Kate - relative to whom? 

I must apologise for the occasional expletive whenever you threw a 'lucky' dice roll.

it's not luck, it's what you do with it

backgammon is a game of skill and experience:  some dodgy old bloke taught me the rules on the banks of the bosphorus.  what with not understanding a word, and being dazed with the coffee, mrs n and i now play with somewhat haphazard rules.

which result in my winning all the time.

experience, you see

here's a formal one then:

i'll kick your arse at backgammon, country boy

probably based on my performance against Kate last weekend.

But then I hadn't played against anyone for a year or so.

Matt C is more my standard at the moment - we were both beaten soundly!

Paul - apologies! You'll get used to the thread drift/hijacking on OM - it more resembles a group conversation than a Q&A forum...

Hi Paul

Us be pleezed to ze 'ee.

I'm a Devonian newbie too.

Let the SW uprising begin!
