And why not, I say?

Not in a chavvy way, just ambing really...

I'm more of a bimbler myself. I wander, bimbling around.

It's a bit amusing, as Kate is more of a strider.
Wow, I'm talking a lot about almost nothing. Hm.


I can be a strider when it suits me, but ambling is more fun as you can think about worldly matters, ponder life, talk if with someone...
I blame you, you picked up on my swagger. =P


Though, after driving a shaking Landrover round the UK, I'll most likely be stumbling..Hm, perhaps you can analyse personality from walks, like they claim they can do with handwriting? Curiouser and curiouser..


I must see that car of yours one day!
They can do most things these days. They could probably tell your favourite food from a hair sample.


Well, it failed the MOT yesterday, so it'll have to have the rust holes welded-up before I legally go anywhere.. *sigh*Tsk, the wonders of science. Damn them all. Yay for the Dark Ages, I say!

Ouch... shame. Never mind, I'm sure it will pass one day. Eheh... sweatdrop
Sometimes I think it might be fun to live back then. Then I remember why we don't anymore, what with all the witch-hunts and soforth.

Witch hunts? In the dark ages? What madness is this?

*hits self befeore i recount everything I know of the dark ages*

Now fairies, that's another matter entirely. you could get out of a marriage in Wales if you pretended to be a fairy...but then again, you could get a more legal divorce by having bad breath...

*hits again*

You're a bit like QI.

It sounds plausible in a mad sort of way, but I can't shake the feeling that it's all made up.

There are three recorded grounds for divorce in dark ages Wales (or as it was then known, Cambria):

Imputence (thought there was a test of some kind that involved a black ram)

Leprosy.

Being a fairy.

The bad breath thing was a medieval law, but it is believed to have earlier origins.

People in Whales used to think getting all their teeth knocked out and a set of false teeth put in was a good 18th birthday present.
They have high standards.

Imputence?

Somewhere in between impotence and impudence?

It was a dry thunder storm too, it disrupted my mobile signal as I was swaggering home from town.

Lovely sight and feeling, to be in the middle of a summery storm.


You swagger home?

Here's another bit for you. in The Gaels (Ireland) in the dark ages, outsiders were considered to be non-persons (outlaws) and so the only way that they could move safely was if they were under the protection of the local king. To do this, travellers from the mediterranean would normally pretend to be Egyptian (The Irish believed themselves to be descendents of the Egyptians) and offer the king a bottle of 'Nile' sand. The king would then offer his n****e which would be sucked to indicate that the traveller was like the king's child, and therefore under his protection. To suck for too long was considered socially uncomfortable, and to draw away too quickly was a sign of disgust.
