So as not to get my pocket picked?

Picking pockets is for London orphans. With Scots and a highway robber blood running through my veins I think I can come up with something more substantial than that.

Or I could call on the aristocratic side. Care to come round for a cup of tea? Just do make sure to use the trades entrance won't you? There's a good chap.

Actually, some of the most interesting British archaeology happening today is off the east coast, under the North Sea. Up to the end of the last ice age around 25,000 years ago, that was all dry land joining Britain to Holland, the most fertile bit of north Europe. It's possible to still map where there were once rivers and forests. And of course it is there, rather than in what were then uninviting highlands that we now call coastal regions, where earliest man lived. Salt water and silt can be remarkably good at preserving wood and pottery remains, so as out ability for underwater excavation develops, more and more revelations about paleolithic history are coming to light.

Ah yes Doggerland. Fascinating isn't it?

Quote:

Well, in my head the Juniors are university age, Sam is around 15, and Mags and Griff are about 13.

Got it.

Quote:

One to specially look out for is "An Adventure in Time and Space", a one off drama based upon the behind-the-scenes story of how the BBC came to greenlight and make Doctor Who back in 1963. It won awards and the ending is heart-wrenching.

I'll look that up. It sounds familiar, but we know what my memory is like.

Quote:

Um, nothing. Yet. His next storyline is... in the queue.

*chuckle* Fair enough.

Quote:

Well, since the main male character is a Conan-style barbarian, from scene two the question is really what does an ex-sacrifical ex-virgin do, since he rescues her in the traditional manner.

Gives birth, gains weight, and nags a lot? *ducks from the wrath of all the female posters*

Pro bunyipist propoganda!

The pro bunyip lobby would be better than a lot of other lobbies.
