Celts - the greatest losers of the time. Got a huge kick in the balls from Romans and then ass-raped by Germanics.

Poland got it's "ass raped" by Germanics as well in WW2

lol

They got a few gonad punches from the Russians too. They're not much different than the Celts in the luck department.

Huge mistake, gent.

We got ass raped by the Soviet Union,whereas kick in the balls was performed by the Germany. Still we stood better than both the French army and BEF in 1940.
And we have our language in contrary to Celts which are Germanic or Romance today

You do know Scots could never be fully conquered by any of those? Norse could only manage the Islands. Anglo-Saxons were beaten, Danes were beaten. Romans pushed back. England could never hold onto Scotland, unlike Ireland and Wales. Too troublesome, like all those groups figured out. The UK was created not by invasion.

And language mainly adopted by the lowlands over time, not forced.


Anyway I shouldn't have to defend this. Nor are we some master of civilization. That's too far.

The Scots get my vote for the most resilient British Islanders, count on that. And you've made a very large (mostly lowland) contribution to the fields of science and engineering and other similar fields, nothing to shy away at.

We are the masters of western civilization.

You mean U106?

I don't know, General Monck did a pretty good job of occupying Scotland during the civil war.

It's sort of sad that Celts lost their languages.

Like John Buchan says. "We do not want to be like the Greeks, powerful and prosperous wherever we settle, but with a dead Greece behind us,"

The past is fantastic within the UK and out of it also. I worry about the future though. We need to get more philosophical in Education again, in Scotland.. Another thing I noticed today in the news. Another foreign company being awarded a contract in England. Whilst the countryside becomes fucked through drilling. A good profit will go to the French. Make it Public or help build up a company in the UK.

Didn't last long though. A few years. Monarchy was restored in less than decade.

By the way, I meant no offense to Poland. It's a great country full of great people. Sadly, it was situated between a country full of evil commies and a country full of wicked Nazis, and that's not to mention the other threats before them. Ireland had the misfortune of neighboring a monarchy full of diabolical imperialists.

That's true, but the "Saxons" decisively beat the Picts, and the English decisively beat the Scottish in varied battles. I saw a lot of my forebears' Scottish surnames on lists of the dead and wounded. All sides gave as much as they got, except for calamities like Pinkie Cleugh. That was a one-sided disaster!
