two years pass...

Have just spent an hour and a half in a room full of Celts attending a lecture plus discussion on ~What It Means To Be A Celt~ and halfway through a fistfight nearly broke out over super-localised (Mid-Cornwall vs West Penwith) pronunciations of local placenames and which was "authentically Celtic" and which was "Anglicised" (the worst thing you can say to A Celt) and as the two sides nearly came to blows, I thought to myself, "This is the most Celtic situation I have ever been involved with."

Also some stuff about hillforts and how we didn't actually invent knotwork, "celtic crosses" or stone circles; and how most "Celtic Traditions" were actually invented by the Victorians. Including, indeed, the word/concept "Celt".
