Good day, Bonjour, Guten tag and so on
« on: 21 Nov 2012, 11:04 »
Another new 'un, been reading QC for just over a year, and figured it was time to dip a toe in a see what's what, particularly.

So, I'm 22, a postgrad biomed engineering student here in Blighty, who very occasionally pops up in the CAD and XKCD forums. Interests include coaching sport, LoL and SC2, drinking colossal quantities of tea, and classic British Comedy (think Blackadder, and references to breaking wind in the palaces of the mighty.)

And please don't eat me, I suspect I'd be rather boney and chewy for your liking :P

What about the Monty Python - or is that too bizarre?

Welcome. 

You will note that there is a strong British presence on these forums (not just me!), so you won't feel out of place.

See what you've done, Kugai?  SEE?? 

We're running low on them, and when they're gone, what are you going to use to change a flat?  Needle-nose pliers?  Phillips head screwdrivers?  I think not!
