   Wow you once insisted that Bede's "Ecclesiastical History" was written in   
   German; that the Anglian army was held up in Bamborough by Urien; that the   
   kingdom of Northumbria never existed; etc etc.  Your track record is hardly   
   good so why on earth would I believe you - just cos you once bought a   
   library book?
