We Virgo's are very quick

Bramble

*raises one eyebrow*

That's a quality?

I would like some classic goo on sesame toast please and a side order of pink condoms. Thank you very much.

Hope you whizzes keep whizzing until the moon is in the seventh house and jupiter aligns with mars. Oh my gawd, that's happened already I think. Stop everything!! You're going to bring destruction upon us all you fools!!

Does anyone here have permit to carry a horoscope without a prescription?

What are you trying to tell us Rita?

I was born on September the 22nd around 3-4 in the morning in 1982. Does this mean anything special about my personality?

You were very alert when you were tiny.

Nothing in particular, Alji, unless it's that if you don't stop spelling like Irishmen, you'll be mistaken for Chaldean impostors.

Oo! you are a fussy little Virgo aren't you. Don't be nasty to the Irish, there are lots of them on this site.

As to whiz
n : someone who is very highly skilled [syn: ace, adept, sensation, maven, virtuoso, genius, hotshot, star, whizz, wizard, wiz]
Wiz is short for wizard and that is why I used wiz rather that whiz.

BTW the words after my name are Welsh.

Brythonic instead of Gaelic then? Is that significant? Probably is, right? But do you know how much? I wasn't panning Irishmen, btw. Just pointing out the obvious to the unintentioned, no doubt. I plead ignorance, which is also obvious.

I'm told Irishmen from different counties sometimes can't understand each other unless they use English. Is that true of Welshman or do they even speak Welsh anymore outside of a university seminar on ancient bardic lore?

Oh yes, I also use "whiz" to denote the sound you make when urinating if that clarifies things. &;D

BTW have you got some Celtic blood Rita?

Alji (Member of The Guild of Wizards @ U197895)

I live in South Wales, in an area where English is the main language. Just a few miles up the valley, Welsh is the main language. Welsh is a compulsory subject in all junior schools and we have schools where Welsh is the main language and English is taught as a subject. We have Welsh TV and radio. Have a look @

Yes, I'm related by blood to Brian Boru and actually possess a genuine skull of Brian Boru, although it's rather on the small side, being his skull when he was a small child, of course.

I'm sort of getting the idea that there might be some kind of movement in Wales to restore the indigenous culture. Is that correct?

And, no, you don't have to believe anything I say. (I'm sort of anticipating a question with that last comment to save time.)

The English did try to kill it off but it's trying to make a comeback.

Well, since you didn't laugh at my Brian Boru joke, I better not assume anything. So, no, I'm not related to any Irish kings or other celts unless it's a redhead in the woodpile like William Clark or Alexander McKensie, which is plausible maybe. Those colonials did like to spread their genes along with their religion and system of land tenure sometimes. But is usually wasn't what you'd call convivial, unless she was drunk, which I think she'd have to be to consort with such vagabonds.

Anyway, my people were treated in similar ways with the children being punished for speaking their native tongue. The colonists would come in and take the land and other resources then claim everybody else was backward or savage, especially when they objected to the larceny. It must be an English thing to do that.

I've sometimes thought that if the indigenous people of Europe like the Basques or Sami or Celts or the people living in the Boreal would make common cause with the indigenous people of America we might all benefit. The dominant culture does that, makes a common cause between the ruling classes, only they don't call it imperialism anymore, they call it "globalization" but it's still the same crap.

So, how else can you combat something like that? Assimulate or resist. If you resist they hammer you so it helps to have a lot of people to share the beatings I think.

The only reason the conquerors could conquer is because they divided the conquered before they were conquered. So if you want to resist this process, I guess you need to get united, although sometimes that's inimical to your traditional cultural values. So it's not as simple as it looks.
