Mornin' Ersby!
(I'm a little hyper today)
And now Yazi has gone.
Morning eris.
(oops. She's back.)

*feels important*
Hola! Eris! hola Ersby!
don't tell anyone I'm here tho. I'm supposed to be working. Hard.
HEEEE.
*makes peek-a-boo face*
Mum's the word!

Well, I'll just pretend not to see yazi then.
By the way, since we have an actual Brit on the board, Ers, do you know why we say "Mum's the word?" Or is it just one of those things you say?
*ponders*
*can't come up with anything*
*realizes she ain't Brittish*
which reminds me of the once mistake I made, calling a Welsh English. oy, did I get burned for that. never quite got that one either.
Derico! I don't see you either. eh.
Me, I didn't see any of y'all.

I think "mum" is just another word for "quiet", not a reference to mother. I could be mistaken. I'll check when I get home.
I can imagine being called English is a sore point for the Welsh in the same way that Canadians in Europe are always asked if they're American. Or people from Tuva are always being called Mongolians. Such is life.
Morning Derico.
(sorry, didn't realise we haven't seen each other.)
I am, of course, talking to myself, if anyone's wondering.

You know, that though DID occur to me after I'd made the post.
Good morning everyone else. Hi Ers! How are you? I can see you. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Did anyone see the study released the other day that puts worth that the welsh/celts really were the indigenous peoples of britain & everyone else came over after the roman empire fell apart. it was based on genetics with most anglo-saxon population having the same genetics as continental europeans but the welsh were different.

And I haven't seen Orenda either.
(getting the hang of it now)
Yeah, the Welsh are really the only indigenous people to my island. The Anglo-Saxons get their names from two Germanic tribes, which is a bit of a giveaway. The Celts are from Ireland, and they overran the Picts, who were Scotland's native tribe. It all gets very confusing.
it's a funny thing, being a native.
another funny thing is that the thread has only 14 replies.. but viewed 50 times... I like that new feature... makes ya wonder .. I don't know what mit makes you wonder, but it does...
That's just how many times I looked at this thread, trying to come up with something witty in response to Ersby's reply.
