Good morning

[RoyBatty]

Hello to everybody!

Some years ago I used to be a poster at the Nordic Portal (did I remember the name correctly?). It appears that the database from there must have been merged with Skadi's at some point? (Eventually checked an old email account and noticed invites to "return" to Skadi).

I found this forum from there and here I am. :D I also noticed a couple of familiar ppl here from times gone by like Lei and Loki.

I'm an Afrikaans guy from Cape Town but have been resident in London for some years. Glad to be here! :thumbs up

[Birka]

Welcome.

[Beorn]

Welcome to the Apricity, Roy. :)

[Loyalist]

Welkom! :)

[SPQR]

Welcome!

[Loki]

Welkom terug RoyBatty! :)

Ja ek onthou jou nog goed. Die Nordish Portal bestaan nie meer nie, en soos jy inderdaad aangedui het, was die database geinkorporeer by Skadi. MAAR The Apricity is die wettige erfgenaam van die Nordish Portal, so jy is nou by die regte plek! :thumb001:

[RoyBatty]

Thank you very much to all for your kindness!

[Brynhild]

Welcome!

Haha! Daarsy Loki, dis goed om Afrikaans te hoor. Ons het nooit veel gesels by NP nie so ek is verbaas jy onthou my nog. Dit was seker n goeie 3 of 4 jaar gelede! :)

Gaan later vandag in jou deel van die kontrei wees (grens van Oos London / Essex). Bier, braai, Russiese lesse.... ai... die luilekker lewe. :D

Dankie, goed om te weet die saak is reg hierso. :thumb001:

Dis korrek ja, maar ek onthou jou. :)

Lekker. Hier in die Leytonstone omgewing is dit vrot van die Afrikaners, maar ek is bietjie verder uit in Essex in.

Russiese lesse? Klink interessant. :)

[Aemma]

Welcome here Roy! I'm glad that you have found us. Please do make yourself at home, poke around and dive right in! :)

Cheers for now!...Aemma

Ek verneem so ja. In my vroeere jare hierso het ek met so n paar "jafel" tipes gewerk in fabrieke / pakhuise ens. Na amper 10 jaar in London was ek nog nooit in Leytonstone nie, LOL!!!!! Was wel laas week in Walthamstow vir die 1e keer.



Russiese lesse? Klink interessant. :)

Ek probeer die laaste paar jaar die taal optel maar dit sukkel maar n bietjie. Het kennisse van die voormalige CCCP so dis meer n geval van "informele" lesse. Ek spits maar my ore en se so af en toe n cliche lyn.

Was al n paar keer daar gewees, beslis die moeite werd om te gaan kyk indien jy nog nie die land gesien het nie.

Cheers for now!...Aemma

Thank you kindly Aemma! I will do so. I almost feel like "I know the place" due to my previous association with Nordish Portal some years ago. Saw a few familiar "faces". :)

[Lady L]

Ons het 'n paar Russe op die forum, en 'n Russiese seksie in die "Regional" forum. Check dit uit. Jy kan ook kyk na die postings van Hors, 'n Russiese kerel wat nogal gereeld hier rond is. Oswiu kan ook Russies praat.

[RoyBatty]

Thank you Mrs L! :)

[Psychonaut]

Welcome aboard!

Got it, thank you Loki! This would be as good as an excuse as any to get some language / translation practice done.

Well this is most excellent! :thumb001:

I note that you list French as one of your cultural backgrounds. Do you speak French as well by any chance? If so, I also invite you to visit our France and Canada sub-forums too where some posts are indeed written in French. :)

Amitiés!...Aemma

Ahhh......desolee Aemma.... mon Francais est tres mauvais. Je comprendre un petit peu mais je ne pas parlais.

Unfortunately the French side of the family dates back a couple of 100 years so the language side of my French heritage was lost in time and space. The same thing happened with the Dutch but since my native language is related to Dutch / Flemish I have a better knowledge of them.

It would be good to read the French section but for the sake of people's patience it would be better that I don't attempt to post any comments there, lol. :D

Dobro pozhalovat, na die forum, Roy! Ya pravilno ponyal, 4to ty umeish' govorit' po russky? Tam dolgo prozhil, chto li?

Saw a few familiar "faces". :)will you be using the same avatar?

loki may have it "on file". :wavey001:

[Atlas]

Welcome. Dutch and French ? You must have some awesomeness !

[RoyBatty]

will you be using the same avatar?

loki may have it "on file". :wavey001:

Good day Lei! Long timey me no posty! LOL. I'll dig it up, Skadi were kind enough to preserve it for posterity :D

[RoyBatty]

Welcome. Dutch and French ? You must have some awesomeness !

Good day Atlas, thank you very much!

More like an attitude problem in general. :loco:

That ancestry dates so far back in time that when I arrived I'd already turned out "native". (joking) :D

[RoyBatty]

Aargh, het language is so familiar, but simultaneously so odd! :p Was jyj praat op mir? :D


Sure, they're more similar than one initially realises.

Privet tovarish i spacibo bolshoi! Izvinitsche, ya gavariu paRusski ochen plokha no "xobbi" moi. :laugh:

Welcome to the forum and enjoy your stay.:thumb001:

[Freomæg]

Welcome! Blade Runner is my favourite all-time film too.

[RoyBatty]

It's certainly up there with my all time favs. Ridley Scott used to be a great cinematic visionary and yet today he dabbles in smug, formulated commercial fodder. C'est la vie! :D

[Elveon]

Welkom hier Broer:)
FFF

[RoyBatty]

Bedankt Luka!

[Manifest Destiny]

Welcome to Apricity. As far as I know, there aren't any Blade Runners here.

[Fortis in Arduis]

Hello.

Welcome to the forum.

:)

[Vulpix]

Welcome Roy :wave!

[RoyBatty]

Thank you Dresden, Arctic, Cythraul, Tolleson and Fortis! :wavey001:

And Heimmacht! :D

[Heimmacht]

I'm a bit late but Welcome :D.

[Baron Samedi]

Welcome.

[The Lawspeaker]

Welkom op The Apricity. Eindelijk nog eens een Afrikaner (ja we hebben hier al Loki maar de andere, Hume, is vaak zo stil.)
Anyways- welcome aboard (I assumed that you could read Dutch)

Geen dank, Roy. Als Nederlander kan ik Afrikaans lezen en verstaan. :thumb001:

Hello, Roy !:)

[MarcvSS]

Welkom op TA...:thumb001:

[Smaland]

Welcome back, Roy. :)

[Kazimiera]

Ja. Welkom terug! Laas keer het jy sommer net sonder 'n woord verdwyn. Is jy nog steeds in UK of het jy al in die tussentyd weer SA kom kuier?

[gregorius]

Ja. Welkom terug! Laas keer het jy sommer net sonder 'n woord verdwyn. Is jy nog steeds in UK of het jy al in die tussentyd weer SA kom kuier?

Zotezien versta ik ook afrikaans :laugh:

[RoyBatty]

Welcome back, Roy. :)

Thank you kindly sir, good to see you again. I see you have a new avatar since I last posted =)

Daie bankie Kazimiera, goed om jou weer te sien.

Aag ja.... somtyds is n verandering van die routine net wat die doktor voorgeskryf het. Ek's nie een vir lang stories en verduidelikinge oor my doen en late nie.

Ja ek's in the VK, sal seker later die jaar na Mandelaville gaan tensy Da People erg oproerig raak wanneer daar uiteindelik in die openbaar erken word (dis nou as die familie ophou stry oor wie wat gaan roof) dat hy nou ook n breindood zombie op life-support nes Sharon is.

SA voel deesdae vir my soos n buite-ruimtelike parallelle realiteit alternatiewe heelal. Ek hoop julle oorleef darem daarso.

[Smaland]

Thank you kindly sir, good to see you again. I see you have a new avatar since I last posted =)

You're welcome. :)
