Decimation (Latin: decimatio; decem = "ten") was a form of military discipline used by officers in the Roman Army to punish mutinous or cowardly soldiers. The word decimation is derived from Latin meaning "removal of a tenth."
so... sorry bud... but the dictionary says that you ain't right
"Ostrogothi" means "Goths of (or glorified by) the rising sun".[3] This has been interpreted as "gleaming Goths" or "east Goths".
The name "Visigothi" is an invention of Cassiodorus, who combined "Visi" and "Gothi" and intended to mean "west Goths".
not forget the Gepid goths too... poor fellows..they never share the limelight!
the Celts were a much more populous and civilized society than their English neighbors, who were still running around the woods and building log stockades whilst the Celts were building beautiful stone castles
INSIGHTFUL MY ACHING ASS!
speaking as a Scotsman i find this funny as hell. you see celts were not just Scotland,Wales and Ireland........... they were pretty much ALL OVER EUROPE. Celts were a culture and not a race... there were Celts all over the place INCLUDING ENGLAND!!!! oh and Germany.. and Switzerland and France or and spain.....remember the OstroGoths?Visigoths?..erm.. celts..... the celts even sacked Rome...... this is where Milan gets it's name from....
The foundation of Milan is credited to two Celtic peoples, the Bituriges and the Aedui, having as their emblems a ram and a boar
yeah.. right next door to England isn't it? and as far as a plague.. well oe third of the roman empire was humped by the plague... however you will find that the SCots and Irisg celts by the VERY nature of them being OUTWITH the roman empire..remember the Scots kicked the crap out the Romans on more than one occassion. and the Irish were prtty much unscathed due to no real expiditionary force from the Romans altough thre was some trade(ie slaves) between the Romans and Irish.Decimation whilst having a roman root isn't even the right wird..lol decimation means 1 out of ten killed. it was , for exa,mple when a legion fucked up they got 1 out of every ten men and killed then as a lesson to the rest not to fuck up again. Or if a p[eople rebelled the same would happen to that population locally as a lesson to the rest. 1/3 != 1 out of ten.
there were walls built to seperate the Scots tribes from Roman britain.. thus the plague very much kinda skipped the Scots and Irish on that occassion.
i could go on and show you how amazingly wrong you are in yer wee statement but tbh i cannot bothered.
i mean did you really believe what you said or just enjoy making shit up?
you realise that you are wrong... under the terms of the union Scotland's distinct legal system was guaranteed.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_law
have a gander... i guess that makes you a bigger moron... perhaps.. a cock
There nothing former about Scotland's nationhood or indeed it's legal sovereignty as downing street went to GREAT pains top point out over the Megrahi affair
so, in summation... how to put this...... yes.. you are a cock....

Eddie Shah got that ball rolling with the the union busting.
he was the first guy to invoke thatchers anti union laws and also he started the modernisation of the fleet street printing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_Shah
Scotland is by far better off as a indepedent state
a recent TV debate hosted by Michael Portillo on the BBC showed that ALL participants of the debate were in NO doubt that Scotland would be definitely financially capable and in good stead to become independent and there had no, repeat NO doubt about it.
this is more especially so with the new drilling techniques thus extending what can be drilled from the North sea but also the newly tapped reserves off the west coast twinned with the MASSIVE reserves off Rockall.
Scotland would not suffer at all from cessation from the UK.
now we get to Gordon bloody Brown. there is a man(i use the term loosely) who is more definitely British i that he drapes himself in the union flag, took elocution lessons to lose his accent and appeal more to the English electorate.. he is also quite happy not only to drain ?Scotlad of all it's natural resources for the benefit of Englandbut redraw the maritime borders so that england gets a bigger share of what is rightly Scottish territorial waters(see page 6 entitled - Imposition of the Scottish Adjacent Waters Boundaries Order 1999 here's a wee quote of what the Times had to say
Documents detailing secret government plans in the 1970s to prevent Scotland
laying claim to North Sea oil have been seen by The Times. They show the
extraordinary lengths to which civil servants were prepared to go to head off
devolution, which was seen then as inevitably leading to independence.
The proposals included suggesting to Labour ministers, for whom devolution was
a manifesto commitment, that progress towards a referendum should be delayed,
in the hope that enthusiasm north of the Border would wane.
Treasury officials also advised that the boundaries of Scotland's coastal waters
should be redrawn and a new sector created to âoeneutraliseâ Scotland's claim to
North Sea oil â" a step that was taken
these sectors are "hidden as "extra regio territories"
maybe something to do with stealing claim to the largest oil/gas reserves in the EU perhaps?
people like Brown do NOT have Scotland's best interests at heart, only expanding their own power base to the detriment of Scotland. he is a Brit and only happens to be of Scots origin.
now i am a Scottish Nationalist but we are very different from your type of knuckle dragging xenophobic crapioca. we just think Scotland should be self governing and race is NOT an issue at all.
it's nasty cretinous racist muppets like you that should be dragging your knuckles into the 21st century
it's people like you who make Scottish people like me dislike being tagged as "British" and also dislike the union flag.
70 years ago we didn't pollute ANYWHERE as much as we do today.
actually i think you will find that there was FAR more CO2 output then.
funnily enough ths is according to Bjorn Lomborg , the chap who wrote the book "the sceptical environmentalist", he also did a video presentation it
find someof his videos here, he's very good and cuts through much of the FUD
i would also propose that it is also a fact that human c02 emissions are far less than those from volcanoes and c02 is actually not a major greenhouse gas when compared to the emissions(methane,ethane,propane and butane) from bovine animals, termites, and various other natural sources of greenhouse gases.
now,yes, we contribute but only to part of a natural cycle and there IS a natrural cycle.
Bjorn is not alone in making these statements of fact and is backed by many other people in this field.
as i said, all i could call you is rude, presumptuous and closed minded
B company were given placebos. this was all told to us after the study had taken place.
your presumption is astonishing, you're arrogance even more so.
we were neither told what the "drugs" were for or what they effect they were meant to have was.... our concern in the matter was that were got paid a "bounty" of £250GBP and a week of leave to spend it on. the guaranteed carrot for many a soldier..LOL
i'll tell you what tho, i will take the word of a qualified, experienced(30 years) medical professional over the word of some arrogant, presumptuous/. keyboard warrior such as yourself ANY DAY.
i would suggest against anyone lending any credence at all to your petulant,arrogant presumptuous self

indeed i wasw refering to the ostrogoths.visigoths etc

As Edwyn lives in Scotland it would be Scottish law, there is no such thing as British law. English law covers England and Wales
Scottish law...Scotland
Northern Ireland also has it's own laws.
therefore checking under Scottish law would be the thing to do.
yups, you get a choice of recovering session or starting a new one

do you know the difference between a Scotsman and a Brit of Scottish origin?
well there are many peope=e in Scotland who would say they are Scottish and not British"

i think if you add up all the natural emissions of green house gases then nature kicks human ass at it
if you have probs with the veho link then use this google video link that will play the full 54 mins here
actually i think you will find that there was FAR more CO2 output then.

now you sir, are being rude and patronising and also very presumptuous. you have to recognise the FUD and also that there are rather a lot of people making rather a lot of money out of the environmental "movement".
i would also propose that it is also a fact that human c02 emissions are far less than those from volcanoes and c02 is actually not a major greenhouse gas when compared to the emissions(methane,ethane,propane and butane) from bovine animals, termites, and various other natural sources of greenhouse gases.
