You could sail up the Menai Straits on pontoons
And we could rewrite history going
"No!We're the Druids (touch of breast beating and wailing for effect and maybe a touch of Revlon blue eyeshadow badly applied)
"Shove off you Italian wops. Do you think we're impressed with all the Roman road building?
"Have you seen our stone huts?
"The Colesseum???
"Well that's just showing off"
"And it won't last"
So "Vaffanculo (apparently Italian for eff off) back to your pontoons.

Proper proper laughing here.....esp at the Revlon eye-shadow. We'd have to rope the boys in to do their wailing to the heavens.IP: Logged |

Of course you can come Gypsee.
It's just the Latin speaking one's us Druids have issue with.
You should have seen the mess they left.
Bloody roads everywhere Drainage systems.
What's that all about?
And don't get me started on gladiator sandals IP: Logged |

I did not see Coast last night but I will!...as I have the amazing "Catch up t.v"I think we have a case of cross dressing Druids here.
There will eskimono, be no off the shoulder numbers or gladiator sandals.
Gypsee will dress like all the other Druids and like it. This means black robes which we rent (not as in hire...but rip from our personage whilst shrieking from clifftops)
The full bare chested look is de riguer with the Druids, not that half baked half bare chest look the Romans go for.
Sandals??
We are Druids....we scamper about in bare feet...feeling Mother Earth beneath us....not mincing about in gold footwear... And since when did she get to be the boss of us? Eh???
See what I mean about the bloody Italians?
Give 'em an inch.
I am off to apply more woad....or is it wode?.......the blue stuff... IP: Logged |

Parlo italiano, Starkiss. (self-edited to remove Italian slang as Starkiss has seen it) A comedian created V-Day in Italy as a demonstration against politicians. That's not my favorite holiday, although it's sure a funny quasi-holiday... IP: Logged |

Italians speak different dialects on different streets. I swear the Italian I was barely comprehending in Naples, was NOT spoken in Rome.Anyway, my grandma said, pronounced it, FUNG-GHOUL, and usually made a motion under her chin with her fingertips.
I can back this up by the fact that if you watch Grease or Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta says it the same way, and everybody knows that movies are right. Anyway, I'm down with the barefoot thing.
Read a peice on the intertnet, which, is also ALWAYS right, , that being barefoot is good for the joints in your knees, which mine are shot, and don't anybody dare suggest how they got that way.
It's genetic, I tell you. IP: Logged |

It's your Roman genetics Gypsee.
All that standing on the decks of ships with your knees quaking whilst us Druids gave you what for.

Starky, I cannot give you a full translation as you'll get your knitting needles in a bundle and be unable to finish knitting all those pantaloons everyone is going to wear on the official LindaLand pontoon cruise to Din Lligwy.Gypsee, fanculo is an even shorter way of saying the full phrase. And the chin gesture means "me ne frego" which translates to "I don't give a care" (but not in so nice of words) (and it was also a motto of the Italian Fascist party). And I totally believe you about the movies always being right, especially if John Travolta is involved. It's thanks to him we all know about the royal with cheese. Bunnies,  IP: Logged |
