its a joke south park would do. I feel like we could have seen it in splitting imagie if they weren't cowards.

Do you mean it was glossed by some ancient monk or a modern historian who may just be citing that 70s paper that is frankly now ubiquitously used to support this? Surely, if it's modern its not such a difficulty.

I think as it's in an ethnography, it adds to the evidence that it probably did not have a much more broad meaning as 'foreigner'. I feel that many would find that compelling.

in these conversations, so i wonder what you think if it's as compelling and useful as I think it is.

On another note, i read online that there is a frankish table of nations with the wealh cognate for the visigoths. The ethnography has goths and "walagoths". Obviously, it means roman goths. I imagine that's the visigoths romanising after many decades in southern gaul. I've not seen that example 1/2

yep makes sense! i do think i follow, I just wanted to double down to make sure!

Perhaps then it must be a much later reconstructed name, slave-slave is otherwise rather odd. Surely in the 6th centuries, wealh did not mean slave yet?

his wife is also called Wealh-theow. Recent genetic evidence, problematic as it often is, suggests a substantial central european and british migration to denmark before the viking age...

It's stunning to discover how many brains have been fried? Is this another victim of COVID lockdown?

is it clear what we get from this 25% increase? They invest in the uk? how much?

i felt the same sort of thing once... in my 20s i used up all my precious savings to go to my grandfathers funeral. My pay was so low, goingnto it jusr hurt. I ended up just feeling angry rather than guilty, but i recognised that even then, it was either or.

We need one group of judices to keep meeting in a surviving civitas somewhere in the 5th century for this to be true. With what gildas let's on, it's probably true for a bit, at least?

go on then, what would be the primary criticism if you had to select one.

I know this sounds like looking for something that isn't there. However, I imagine the light bigotry growing up and how easy it is fully fitting in stops one proclaiming french identity. Its probably more pronounced if your parents are german.

I see, its a fair point tbh...

by everyone and anyone. I don't think anyone holds up the telegraph anymore as a credible source, this means a lot. The BBC, and ofcom, has utterly failed in the last decade, Brexit, johnson, climate change and now with reform looming I'de rather they don't push the overton window further right.

12.11.2025 02:54 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But what will fill that void can be better dismissed. It's easier to paint something new as biased than the BBC, which, as he says, moved the Overton window so far to the right it was "quite a charge" to consider Johnson a liar.

I lived in Singapore for nearly a decade. If you were among the working population there, you might have known that many just eat all the time in hawker centres this is common enough that some flats don't even include a kitchen.

The "Republic" is closer to a directorship with entirely different society and culture. Especially towards home ownership. I can't believe you want to justify leashold by looking to Singapore, as you know, many don't even have kitchens in their own homes. I hope you rethink leashold.
