I'm not sure what this says about me, or about the Daily Mail, come to that.<BR/><BR/>Cello: I have sad news about Pictish, having finally come to terms with Dr Richard Cox's analysis, which demonstrates fairly convincingly that 'Pictish' was in fact Old Norse, and therefore never actually existed. This has put me all out of kilter, as I was saving the resurrection of the lost language of the Picts for my retirement. On a brighter note, there are plenty of horticultural roles on offer, including spider-catcher, topiarist and roof gardener (this is not a euphemism).patroclushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933476561340044351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607123.post-33199686386579944682007-12-06T18:15:00.000+00:002007-12-06T18:15:00.000+00:00You have Lego people who can talk??!!
