Didn't realise you were still in NZ, thought it was just a holiday, did you emigrate then?

Nix. I''ve been here for eighteen months or so. Mind you, it's getting the point that I can't afford to go back! Isn't the internet a wonderful thing? It's midnight and wintery, and I'm off to bed. Enjoy your day.

Peace

Is there an expert in the house who can help this poor man while he's waiting? It sounds as if he's in a bad way.

He can give you a presciption for that sarcastic attitude for a start.

I doubt anything could be said on any subject without you sniping at the pseron complaining.

Do you honestly think that after six weeks a government agency should not be questioned on their lack of information, considering the number of questions sent to them?

Or maybe you're just looking for an argument?

....ahhh really, thanks for that. So any items left in Silbury don't matter and it is the monument as a whole that is important.


Just explaining to those who may not know that not every single scrap of antler is a deliberate deposit. Some are not as knowledgeable as you.

"Pieces of antler pick are the next most prevalent artefact to be recovered from Silbury Hill so far. The example on the left exhibits old breaks and as you can see is remarkably well preserved. Antlers were ideal material for the breaking up of the chalk used to construct the mound,and are often found in association with prehistoric ditch structures."


You don't really believe anything that English Heritage tells you... do you? They're just 'incompetent fools'... I thought?

Stay on message please.


Is this the RC version of "How to win friends and influence people" ?

Maybe you should stick to sarcastic remarks then.

You quoted a search term in Google to support your argument, and I proved how worthless it all is.

Try to keep up lad...
