They invaded by never conquored. Nevertheless the following link is an intereseting article showing the extent of Celtic migration and conquest.

BTW the Celts never went to China. It is a common misconception that the Tocharians were a Celtic tribe. They were Indo European like the Celts, but had their own language group as did the Celts.

A lot of shite got on to my phone while I watched a streamed football match - so I am going to return to factory settings. I will back up all my files, but I doubt if kindles can be backed up.

I bought them from Amazon and maybe the ones previously bought are still stored on the cloud - thus allowing them to be downloaded again.

Please confirm if this is true.

Beware of what you feed your dog. Avoid anything made in China. The following poster was posted on my FB page.

Consider the following two "jokes":

"I ain't got anything against dwarfs, midgets, little people, whatever the little freaks like to be called"

"The Irish: Kinda like white people but without the entitlement"

Both are intended to present a particular group in a negative way. Neither is particularly funny, but I'm used to stand-up 'comedy' not being funny. I'm not sure what the purpose of stand-up is really and I'm convinced the only reason the audiences laugh is peer pressure - they don't want all the other laughing people to think they don't get it, unaware that all the other laughing people are laughing for the exact same reason.
Anyway, both of these featured on the TV show Live At The Apollo. Both received complaints from viewers. One received four hundred complaints and no action was taken. The other received two complaints and was ordered never to be re-broadcast. No prizes for guessing which "offence" was deemed contrary to the requirements of virtue signalling doctrine.

Personally I think they're both just shitty, lazy, cheap, talentless dross but it has long since stopped surprising me that comedians are not funny. It also doesn't surprise me that the banner waving classes have two rule books. Offence isn't a problem. They don't care about offence. What they care about is being seen to side with the correct "victim". Some people are allowed to say whatever they like, and some people are fair game for any mistreatment.

It's called equality.

Romain Grosjean has to be the luckiest person in the world today.
On the opening lap of the Bahrain GP he went headfirst into a metal barrier at well over 100mph. The car went through the barrier, broke in half and tore apart the full 25 gallon fuel tank which instantly ignited. The marshals and medics were on the scene in seconds but couldn't get near the driver because of the intensity of the fire. If Grosjean had been knocked unconscious there's no way he could have survived but he managed to get out on his own. His fireproof clothing saved him but only just: his crash helmet visor melted! Lucky, lucky boy.
