Hello all,
Long time lurker, long time gamer here from Aberdeen (top right hand bit of Britain where all the oil workers travel too.) I registered on the forum a while ago, but hadn't gotten round to posting yet, until now!
I'm a big fan of the Pendraken range and have a ton of (partially) painted ECW, Punic Wars and, most recently, early western from WWI. Just picked up the Warband rules, so my regular gaming buddy and I are about to embark on yet another project and build some fantasy armies! Most looking forward to the new Undead range!
Welcome vlad. :-h
Hullaw rerr, Vladdd (the laddd?). :-h

Sorry, watching
Trawlermen and subsequently realised I should have said, "Ay ay, fit like,
Valid Vladdd?"*
(bloody autocorrect .. mutter .. snazzle . razzle ..)Valid (grrrr....) Vladdd, is there still a hotel in Aberdeen that has an automated voice that says, "Gyaun Up"
(for "Going Up") and "Gyaun Doun"
(for ... well .. figure it out)?

Over 12 hours of restraint, this must be a serious forum ;D ;D ;D
Or is it the new rules imposed by the Dark Lord :-\ ;)
Hello and welcome Vlad.
Oddly enough I'm a red card carrying member of the Aberdeen FC supporters club.......despite being from Sussex, as English as they come, never even been to Aberdeen and a rugby fan (what is this fascination with a round ball). Long story but always fun when they ring every year to try to sell me a season ticket.
Welcome to the madhouse

I've only ever heard "fit like" said seriously by Aberdonians. Often "Fit like loon?" (or "Fit like quine?" to a woman)
As a Fifer who lived in Yorkshire for four years I'd say the two have much in common:
"Hear all, see all, say nowt! Eat all, drink all, pay nowt!" :)
Scottish dialects are hard to understand? Aye, right! Naw they're no!

No-one can bloody explain it though :-\
What's to explain? It's what's said. It's no more or less sensible than the assemblage of sounds that make up "why not?" or "pourquois pas?"

Don't agree; the dialect uses two words, which Scottish people otherwise use accurately, in an inaccurate way.
That makes it worthy of an explanation. I take your point though that such an explanation may be lost in time :-\

You make a massive assumption and generalisation that all Scots speak or use the same dialect. That is far from the case, just as it is in the rest of the UK; e.g. where I hail from 'How no?' isn't used, rather 'Whit wye no?'

... and there's your problem :)
"Scottish people" speak several different dialects and those (mainly those from the West Coast/ Glasgow) who say "how?" or "how no?" will use that form all or most of the time.
Some of us may use the term for effect, of course.
Particularly when talking to Weegies or English people :)

Yeah, did come across like that. ;)
Some of the Scots I've met say it and I'm curious as to why?
I wish someone would give me a hint how to let my Glaswegian colleague know that I have no @#%$% interest in metaphysics, Theosophy, the international mega-industrial-military conspiracy, or Chinese herbalism. Plain statement doesn't have any effect, and satire passes unnoticed by that deadly Scottish earnestness.
I don't want to offend him, but if I have to ride the coach back to town once more with a near-unintelligible Celt gibbering in my ear about how much more sense the world will make to me when I give up logic, I may have a Haggicide on my conscience.

Yeah, get it completely ;) but it's a very strange grammatical construct. :-\
I've just realised that as this discussion (no matter how interesting it may be) has nothing to do with the OP, it's a bit of a hijack so no more from me :-[
Logic, FK, is much overrated. It is the attempt to overlay structure and meaning on a world that is random and chaotic, to construct a framework with which to navigate the nothingness and void that is existence ....
WILL YOU SHUT THE F**K UP YOU WEEGIE TOSSER!!! <glasgow kiss>
That should do it :D

Terrible in it. Just remember don't mention a 1950's British Tank, or a human sacrificing American tribe and you should survive...
