newtownards Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 There's nothing "Great" about Britain. I think "it" is disgusting, I hate being called "british". It's a fkin embarrassment. Must be hard on you going on holiday. .... how do you cope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Anyhoo, a cracking map here of the province from possibly the Chariot Association or the Imperial Chariot Club. But when from? - as it shows lumped together the Caledonii, Picti and Scoti on the same patch (together with the Meate* and the city of Bremenio!)

exile Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Have you ever looked at a map of Scotland without the Hebrides? It looks weird. Possibly weirder still, England on its own, or EWANI without Scotland... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Exile, I got it from Wikipedia, and it seems to be the 5th century equivalent of the London underground map for the Roman Empire. Wiki mentions that Pompeii is on the map even though it was wiped out in the 1st century, so overlapping names on our patch were not necessarily contemporary. Never heard of Bremenio.

I'd thought the Scoti were associated with the Dalriada settlers from Ireland (only from 6th c) but not necessarily so... Never heard of Bremenio either...

ErsatzThistle Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I am Irish...... and proud. I have also been on a few holidays. ..... lol Then you'll no doubt share my admiration for your country's great national heroes such as Wolfe Tone, Robert Emmett, Charles Parnell, Patrick Pearse, James Connolly and Michael Collins. Of course the oppressive colonial thieves settlers and their offspring won't be too keen on these brave men and their ideals.
