An old newb saying "hello". Hello.

Sorry, but you've wandered into the Armageddon of cheese vs. bacon. The noms of the universe will be decided on this field.

Are you prepared to play Pascal's Wager with the God of Cheese(tm)?

Foolish manchild. Fear the Dairy Deity! Daily! Your anti-dairy diatribe won't go unpunished!

I prefer Rascal's Wager.*

It has so far.

Hello there Red and welcome. You seem to fit right on the nose here.

Welcome, Red

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Wow, the place is filling up with Reds. I think I'll go sign up at the John Birch forum.

Hullo Mr. Celt!

Looks like you got everything sorted.

I spend a lot of time in Scotland but I've never been to Fife. We have a few members from other areas of the country.

Welcome and I hope you settle in!

[Woodbutcher]

Yo, Red! I'm a Canuck Finn. Welcome to the forum. Start a discussion about handguns as soon as possible!

Yes. The avatar seemed to be available after making my 1st post. Either that, or I just couldn't see the option. I made it using the default forum theme as part of the background... which was a mistake, as I've switched themes. I'll sort it out later.

As to Scotland... Fife is quite a new thing to me, too. I'm not an Easty Beasty, I'm a Wiley Argylly.

Well, my family is. Perhaps you're familiar with a wee town on the Clyde called Dunoon? If not, it's no great surprise. It isn't exactly a bustling metropolis that many people have heard of. But to me, Scotland is bumpy and wet (trying his best not to go for sexual innuendo), but the East is more flat and windy.

This is my dug, with the Firth of Clyde behind him (which eventually leads to Glasgow). To the left, you can see the start of the Holy Loch, which is where a large U.S. Navy base was stationed for most of the Cold War. The nearer houses are part of Dunoon/Kirn/Sandbank.

What a hound! (and the dog's not bad either ) Majestic pose!

Unsurprisingly, that looks like much of the rest of Scotland... which is a good thing because it's a beautiful country. When I visit it's to the area NW of Aberdeen, but I've been shuttled around the surrounding areas.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I visited Holy Loch a few times in the '70s.

Was the bacon satisfactory?

I'm guessing that you were in the U.S. Navy, then?

My dad is the eldest of 6 kids: boy, girl, boy, girl, boy, girl. All 3 girls married U.S. Sailors. I feel very sorry for the local lads during that time. All the Yanks coming in and snatching up the pretty ones to take back home. Apart from my mum, obviously. She preferred the home-grown talent.
