Anyway, most 'takeovers' in Britain actually never happened. Certainly there is much scholarly disbelief that a group of separate 'Celts' ever arrived, and even the great Saxon advance has its revisionist critics, who believe much of that was a political and cultural take-over not a genetic one (pots move, often people don't, as the archaeologists say these days). True, the Normans, who were basically nouveaux riche Vikings, did a better job of 'invasion', but theirs was also, in genetic terms, predominantly a cultural invasion. I know the Danes came in to, but when? That is something of an issue. There is good evidence for a lot of Scandinavian genes in Britain prior to Caesar's time. One other thing in my claimant favour is that mostly, the invading men moved in and took whatever women were around at the time (so the genetic tracers tell us). Rapine and pillage, how sexist is that?<br /><br />So Britain is indubitably mine, mine, mine, via the matriline, and I want it now, or I will sic Judge Mordy onta ya for disputing my sacred blood. You lot didn't know my Sainted Mother (and weren't you lucky?). She was a direct descendant of the Iceni Queen, a Druid's child from out Anglesey way, I'll have you know.

Druitt, where she left them when she was 14 and has never been back since.<br /><br />She hereby lays claim to Native Title over most of Northern England and Wales due to her Brythonic family's dispossession from their Brigantian tribal regions over two thousand years ago.<br /><br />You know it makes sense.

One of his talent scouts came to him and said: Jock, have I got a man for you! Six foot two, fifteen stone, can jump four feet straight up, can do 100 yards in even time in footy gear and can kick a footy 80 yards off a step!<br />To which McHale answered yes, ok, but can he play football?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-64676818321296530702013-07-04T15:18:45.075+10:002013-07-04T15:18:45.075+10:00At least the lady apparently has only to worry abo...At least the lady apparently has only to worry about whether she is white or brown - what about us poor sods who have to decide between our English, Scottish, Irish and Breton forebears?

One minute of my life which I will not get back and which, to boot, will potentially leave me with post traumatic stress disorder. What I read in this long 1 minute was: "AbbottAbbottAbbottAbbottAbbottAbbott".
