Post by: FratmanBootcake on 05 July 2016, 08:35:17 PM
Hi all,

I've recently started getting into Pendraken's stuff and have also bought a copy of the Warband rules. Anyone from Wiltshire area on here?

Welcome aboard.
Wiltshire not as exotic as Dallas, but still. . .
Not from Wiltshire myself, but there must be others.

Good man!

Welcome - not from anywhere near Wiltshire now - but I did spend a few months living near Salisbury some many years ago!

Welcome, FB :)

I'm in Somerset (West Somerset, Dunster) but seem to be spending a fair amount of time over your way at the moment...whereabouts in Wiltshire are you?

Hello FmBc. Welcome to the forum. It is a wounderous place. Given that you might be a Druid - may I ask - are you Orthodox or Reformed?

Welcome Mr Bootcake.

Interesting handle by the way, and your forum ID is curious as well.

Just checking, this is Wiltshire, the fair county in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and not Wiltshire, Mississippi? One does need to make sure because not only are the ungrateful colonials capoable of armed insurrecton against their just and noble king, but they are not above appropriating place names from these green and sea-girt isles. "New York"? What was wrong with the old one? Having said that, the indiginous names seem to be made from really bad Scrabble hands. I have great respect for the Native American, but find they rival the Welsh in unpronouncibility.

"Let's call this new town after where we were born, Bach!"
"What, llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?"
"Maybe not. Tell me indiginous person, what do the locals call this place? ... TangipahoaPlaquemine"*
"Bless you."
"Hmmm. What about New Middlesborough? My wife's best friend's Auntie came from that way."
"No, look you, that's a bit depressing."
"What about Aberdaugleddau?"
"Dai man! No! You know my sister had a baby to that insurance salesman from Aberdaugleddau!"
"Dafydd?"
"They're all called Dafydd, all six of them."
"Well how does she tell them apart?"
"She calls them by their father's surname."
"There's clever."
"But not getting us to naming this place. What about naming it after the first thing we saw when we got here?"
"I think there's already a place called 'Horse's A**e'. "
"I know! How about where we all met up? Llantwitfardre?"
"What's that, indiginous person? It means what is your lovely language? ... and is that even possible? ... not even if you're married. I see. You think that would attract the wrong sort of Native American, and there wouldn't be a woman or a leek safe between noon and sunset? In summer. When the wind comes from the West. On days when the eagle flies. Well it seems mighty specific to me. Perhaps we could risk it?"
"Never Man! Awfully pround of my leeks I am. Would be heart broken if something happened to them!"
"Ah Bach! Shall we just call it New Swansea then?"
"It'll do for now. What say you indiginous person? It means what? That's all right. We don't grow carrots."  


*with apologies to Native Americans for banging two unrelated place names together. **
** I didn't need to do this for the Welsh.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum from Bedfordshire.

I have driven down the A303 and visited Stonehenge - they are the only connections I have with Wiltshire.

Wotcha from Kent. I lived at Bulford camp for a while in my distant yooth (father was a squaddie) so unlike others,I can find Wiltshire on a map. Plus I've been driven past Stonehenge.

Hello from Northland

Visited Wiltshire many time, The Wyndham Arms is a great pub, and Downton's Chocolate Orange Delight is a wonderful pint :-)
