I did read somewhere that Stephen Fry has given up twittering. after a fellow user said he was 'boring'.

Pablo,
I would very much like to try ski-ing in Scotland, but it is just so difficult for me to get there. It's probably just as hard for me to get there as to get to France. Ally |

So ... have you made your mind up yet, about this small corner of the British Isles ?

Scripple,
I have been ski-ing in Bulgaria, as have quite a few people here, but you are not talking about Bulgaria :?: Which country do you live in yourself? Ally |

Tony,
Why don't you like Wales - or are you just pretending :?: Ally |

Snowb4ndit,
Have you tried researching your family tree? The other thing you could do, if you're really interested, is get your DNA tested. Ancestry do it, for a fee, and can then tell you something about your genetic origins. Most of the Arthurian legends do have Arthur being Cornish, but as I said before, people travelled suprisingly great distances in those days. He is roughly contemporaneous with St Patrick, who was born either in Scotland or Wales and captured as a youth and taken as a slave to Ireland, and with St David who was said to be a nephew of King Arthur and also said to have an Irish mother. St David was born somewhere around 500 A.D. near here. And Merlin is supposed to have been born at Carmarthen. Ally |

You two are going to drive me to start lurking ...
Honestly, here I am worrying about the fact that Irish and Scottish are Goidelic languages, whereas Welsh and Breton are Brythonic, and yet they all seem to be Celtic, and you can't even spell pasty right :wink: I had never thought of the Welsh flag as being Arthurian before, and yet in a way I suppose it is.
