Some day a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
Not Monday though.

I like to think that Trump has been studying the nuclear weapons and their capabilities in detail in preparation for the day after the 2024 presidential election (well technically the day after the inauguration) or Nuke the FBI day as it will be known.

I'd be concerned if I were you. What with your Scottish ancestry being traced back to 1200 by a bloke in the pub and your nose being the size of a Big Mac, you've probably got a nice community going on up there.
Fatso.

I'm getting adverts at the bottom of the page for 'Reverb' - offering to sell me pioneer CDJ controllers. I don't have £3k to prove I can't mix thanks, I've done that on much cheaper equipment.

Rowntrees Watermelon ice lollies. Get in about them. Tremendous. Where from, Crank? Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose etc etc. Watermelon flavour red bit, apple flavour "skin" at the bottom, chocolate drop "seeds". |

Correction: My English ancestry goes back to 13th century with the current name prior to that it goes back pre 1000 AD, my Scots ancestry goes back to before 6th century (don't know when). Big Mac meal and large fries you mean, plus fillet of fish and apple pie and a healthy bottle of water. |

Just put away the asda delivery.
This is the first time in about two years we've not wiped it. It's a lot quicker.
Yes,yes, I know the slim possibilities of Covid transmission on surfaces but we kept doing it anyway. Mainly due to aging in-laws, but they're not doing it.
I bequeath any left over lollies to Tuffers.

It's generally said to be hard to trace family lines back further than the 18th century because the parish records aren't good enough before that. |

My family can trace our roots back to 16th century Kentish pig farmers.

Roots schmoots.
My dad’s side of the family are all from Aston. We can get back to the early 19th century. Lots of people called Moses and Joseph. My mum traced her family way back - the various lines. One day she revealed to me, in hushed tones, that she’d found generations of blacksmiths living in the Malverns.
There was a good story about a Gypsy and an Earl, and a portrait of someone in Leeds Art gallery. I say ‘Gypsy’, because that is how the story was passed on to me, and I understand that some people do identify in this way. Whether this ancestor was Roma or ‘Irish traveller’ I don’t know.
You can’t say anything nowadays.

Years back I was able to look up my surname and I found out that my fathers side goes back to the 13th cent. I think it was birth deaths and marriages in London (very vague memory). My mothers side varies between Scot and Flemish/French but the general view is Scot in it's original form, it is very hard to trace Scots names even through Clan lines, I have a book by Robert Bain called Clans & Tartans of Scotland (fully revised) which was first published in 1938, the version I have was published in 1968. And of course the usual Google search, the US love their 'European' history so it can be quite useful. |

I managed to trace back to some of my great grandparents parents. It's a lot of effort after that. I think my great great grandfather or possibly it was his dad left Scotland to move to Ireland. Moving the opposite way to most people post the potato famine. It's possible he had potato botherer ancestors who had gone the other way a generation previously.
I don't know where anyone was born . They moved from country to country regularly. My grandparents generation appears to have live on the boat train to/from Ireland.
I have an uncle and aunt who were twins and brought up together. My uncle had a solid English accent, while my aunt has a Drogheda accent despite not living in Ireland until she was about 40.

Lord Kane's family kept immaculate records. Another point is that the Scottish and Irish were not the best at record keeping. This is something Kane would know if he got off his arse and had a look for himself.
Right, I'm off to pump up the air-con. He can moan all he likes in my absence.
