Well, we can always start discussing the Knights Templar (no Deus Ex, ff ) when we've finished with Arthur.

Or Scotland

deus ex? *twitch* we wont say anything about the precious....

Heltak - Stop doing that! First you post "Perhaps in a form but not as the KotR", and refuse to elaborate, and then you post "Or Scotland". Either contribute to the discussion ni a detailed and/or meaningful way, or don't post! Shape up or else *makes throat-slitting gesture* .

You mean the Aeneid as agit-prop in classical Latin?

I remember it being mentioned by my Latin teacher as a matter of trivial unimportance because it was such a "great" work and had forgotten it until you referred to it.

There's nothing wrong with the Aeneid! I prefer the "Odyssey" though!

if anyone's been to Glastonbury recently (town not festival) isn't all that new age pseudo Arthur stuff, thats in every dam shop along the high street, really awful? Talk about hippie leftovers, and it's all trash; just more milking the public. Yes for £2-99 you too can have a crystal that heals your body and soul, as can the other 50,000 people who've got one just like it. And of course dragons are real, can't you see it? that one. Oh you need a third eye to see it, did I say see, I meant "sense," as in "pretend"

btw for anyone who's actually been to Glastonbury, does this following conversation sound familar... "omigod honey its the ac-tu-al tomb of King Ar-thur, you know, king of England, Britain." "mom, why isn't Arthur's tomb in Lon-don? I want Arthur's tomb to be in Lon-don, I like Lon-don.." "gee honey I dunno, I'll ask an English person... excuse me, sir, are you English?"

"No, I'm from f***ing Mombasa, what do you think?"

The whole Glastonbury legend is very interesting. Although archaeologists are supposed to have found some fragments of the headstone, the original story of the monks finding Arthur's grave is most likely to have been a big hoax in order to attract interest (and funds) to Glastonbury. Those dodgy monks...

this silly Joseph of Arimathea legend keeps rattling on, I don't think anyone's gonna squidge it completely. I once read this book, rubbish it was but I promised some chick I'd read it, that said cos Joseph brought the Grail and all that stuff inc the Thorn to Britain when Big J died, and Britain wasn't then occupied by the Romans, that it was the presence of the Grail that made the Romans invade. And the Glastonbury shops are full of such drivel.

When everybody knows the Grail's in Petra, I saw it in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Having mocked enough, I will say that the Glastonbury are is very unusual. Thre is def something a bit different about that neck of the woods, it's not really much like the rest of England - Glastonbury, Bath & Wells, Salisbury Plain, the Somersea - pretty though, but a bit odd.
