Hemachromatosis? - i've got that. - got Celtic ancestors??

Not that I know off. My mother's paternal grandfather was scottish, so possible. On my dads side I'm descended from French aristrocrats who came over in the 1830s. They were in the first Napolean's bodyguard and originated in Switzerland. So I've kind of come full circle.

This evening I'll be going to a community festival where we celebrate the time of pig slaughtering and eat the results. All free, including booze, paid from my taxes. Only citizens may attend, so it sucks a bit if you're not a citizen, but as a resident, you have to pay tax here.

Or too much Irn Bru? Just askin' for a friend*, like.

* who has haemachromatosis and has pints of blood removed regularly

Aye - right.

When you say "a few years ago", was it 2004? I am wondering if you're talking about a guitarist I knew.

They may have some interesting personality traits but I don't think calling them all crackers is PC

And depending on how big they are, it could take a LOT of us to have a group hug around them.
