Gifts and Buttons for Angry Deaf People
The problem is that others do forget, and it doesn't mean they don't care. They're often too wrapped up in their own shit/anxiety/tryingtokeepupness that they miss things. But, on the other side, perhaps the deaf person misses things about the ...

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?
There was a garrison of Angles among the Parisii of Yorkshire before the Romans left, and they became the basis of Deira, the kingdom which seems coterminous with Parisii territory, though it later expanded into Brigantia. They inherited some ...

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?
Justinian was certainly instrumental in the Saxons returning to Britain too. Angles, Saxons and Jutes were mercenaries all over Europe at that time. The Franks used them too, then wanted them gone when Gaul was secured.

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?
May people overlook the fact that the Angles and Saxons were Roman mercenaries, and it is known that the Angles were generally friendly to Rome. What happened is that after the field troops were withdrawn, the remaining garrison troops took ...

The Semi-Mythical Maelgwn Gwynedd Pt 5
The numbers of the Ladies of Avalon alters from source to source, but nine is the usual figure (3 x 3). However, I have read versions where it's twelve.
I stumbled across some tumuli in Staffordshire last Solstice. I thought I was meandering ...

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?
Frank - Some Bretons were refugees from the coming of the Saxons too. Particularly from the south coast of what's now England. Britain is still ABSOLUTELY defined along Roman lines, administration and cultural policies too. It's way, way too ...

The Semi-Mythical Maelgwn Gwynedd Pt 5
Twelve apostles were for the twelve tribes of Israel. I did not know of the ladies of Avalon, but mention of them makes me more sure that Eurgain was no Christian saint.
Tumulus burials were used in England by early Anglo-Saxon pagans, eg ...

The Semi-Mythical Maelgwn Gwynedd Pt 5
The twelve virgins thing links right into the Ladies of Avalon. That was very much a Pagan priestesshood. Though it could relate to the twelve disciples too.
I often venture near Rhuddlan. I might go and see what remains of her tumulus and ...

The Semi-Mythical Maelgwn Gwynedd Pt 5
Frank - Agreed, re the mixture of early saints. It's fun to work out which are which though! And proof once again how interchangeable our religions truly can be.

Whose Side is Cancer Research UK on?
Hi, Dustytoes. Thanks for popping by. If I could recommend just one of the books above (they're all fascinating and very persuasive), I'd suggest reading The China Study. The evidence provided is, to my mind, inarguable.
It's about so much ...
