If they are, then they'll double up for Barbarians!

It's just PICTS are easier to write than 'Brocht dwelling P-Celtic post Romano, stone carving, North Eastern Hiberno-Highland culture'!

No, they both existed all right. The Victorians made up stuff about naked women Pictish warriors covered in tatoos ; and vikings wearing horned helmets. We don't know much about the Picts but Roman and post-Roman historians mention them repeatedly, though not with much detail - and they didn't leave much in the way of historical records themselves.

No, he did them in the 80's.

I think Anne Summers bought the lot.
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I really don't think he would.

I've probably got a print of them buried somewhere.....If I ever find it, I'll put it on the fire.  :P

Go and apply that buzzy thingy to the bit that hurts.

Bad backs are not fun.

I rarely get off mine just in case I should hurt it.

Cheers , all.
It's not quite so bad at the moment, thankfully.
Slight problem here, on the 'farm', with Mrs T's gall stones, which keep 'flaring up' and giving her grief.
Sooooo.....I'm trying to help with the horsey chores, as much as possible.

Yesterday I told her to stay in bed all day, while I mucked all the stables out.
By the time I'd pushed the umpteenth barrow load of poop up Mount Kilimanjaro the muck heap, my back was telling me to blank off.

Cheers, again - Phil.
