Oi, I'm Scottish.  I mean Irish.  I mean Welsh!  I think.



There's a difference? *ducks quickly*

Been watching a series on Celts that's part of freebie Amazon Prime (cryptically entitled The Celts). There seems to be a fair amount of debate as to who - culturally - the Celts were. But genetically they're far more limited on the English Isle (what do you call that thing, anyway?).

Aside from the golf announcer's voice, which could lull Godzilla to sleep, and some rather annoying sopranic singing which begs to be mocked in every conceivable way, it's rather informative.

Are you referring to this documentary?


If so the soundtrack is Enya's first commercial album release. I like it quite a bit. After 'The Celts' her music started to become more and more pop-oriented and lost some of it's mysterious quality. Not bad stuff, just more shallow.

Sorry, not quite, Old Bean.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Quick guide:  The Irish talk funny and drink a lot, the Scots talk funny and drink a lot, the Welsh talk funny and shag sheep a lot. :)

Now, now, no intra nationality fighting.  It's the Black Watch who are the Sheep Shaggers.

No reason to fight over it.  There's plenty to go around.

And there you go, the Coldstream Guards also chase sheep.

Thanks LB. I'll have to check it out since I also have Prime. I have a reasonably high tolerance for cheesy background music and vocals as long as the content is interesting.

There's a huge difference between chasing sheep and shagging them.  :))
