well

"Camlin" is a vocational surname

so it's tricky

and the scottish is Ulster

So - Scottish by way of Ireland

Lots of Scots Irish settling in America nod

Honestly , my favorite gag about Scotts is this, which is only funnier when you see Scottish people replying stuff like "no, this is legit" etc 🙂

Yup! Legit. nod nod

THey throw Logs for fun. What did the log do to them? NOTHING... too bad for it, angry scott gotta yeet!

Thank you, Slack

Ha!

Says a lot that romans were like "Conquer, Conquer... oh we've found Scotland.. holy shit, seal it up, seal it up!"

Romans. Pfft!

You and my housemate really do share a Pro Celt bias 😉

I think if she could go back in time she'd give Boudica a shot gun

Nah. Boudicca had all the tools she needed. She just needed to listen to her strategists. She got cocky and overreached, counting on momentum to carry the Celts along and not giving the Romans a chance to reorganize. It worked for a while, but you can only count on momentum for so long.

True. The romans were assholes in a lot of ways, but they were not idiots and they were good at war

Yup. She fought them back into their stronghold (London), but once they got there, they were going to be able to regroup, so she needed a different plan.

ah, and I found the bastard!

Ah?

william?

blink Um....

dammit

That might be the Howard on my mother's side.

Sir Richard of Cornwall, who received a grant from his half-brother Edmund, 2nd Earl of Cornwall (d. 1300), in which he was called "brother". He married Joan, allegedly daughter of John FitzAlan III, and by her had three sons and a daughter. He was slain by an arrow at the Siege of Berwick in 1296. His daughter Joan of Cornwall married Sir John Howard, from whom the Howard family, Dukes of Norfolk, are descended.[20]

So - see, OF COURSE my family is A: from the worst king of England and B: splintered off a bastard somewhere

I've got Howard and a Robinson branches. Will have to check that out eventually. And darn those combat archers, amirite?

I'm 25% slavic, told I'm Polish, but could be Russian because commie fears. I don't think so, think it is Polish. My great grandfather did have a write where he was allowed to resign from the army by the Czar. Mother's side.

Oh the paper was in Minsk. So maybe I'm sympathetic to Worf of stng

MINSK

So, Howard would be one of the other Richard of Cornwall kids

my father says one of my relations on his side served as a Scribe in the Spanish Court during the time of the Hapbsburgs. what a freak show there eh?

I'm down from Edmund

Good grief. Yeah, that's a jumble, Mr. D.

Nice, Catnik!

Ironically, Catnik, the thing I know best about Cornwall? it has a LOT of Giant myths. So maybe there's a troll connection for you 🙂

And I always liked the name Edmund

Re: Farmhold -- Damn, I love Murray.

You need an unseelie view sometimes

Saw RV wiggle for a sec. Peers

There.

Cornwall = ARTHUR

Rock on, Brogan.

True, Catnik!

I have always wanted to visit

And consider Kerri fully supported by Olgar in this

Olgar will be wearing the pink pussy hat again
