Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - BAJR Host - 29th July 2008 Quote:quote:The Council for British Archaeology is pleased to announce the FESTIVAL Now... at the risk of being called petty etc... Britain = the whole of the island (and islands) UK = the UNITED kingdom.. Scotland (which makes up a third of the landmass of the UK and is part of the UK) is not in this Festival of Britain ... Scotland has Scottish Archaeology Month.. note we don't say National (cos it ain't) and we don't say British .. cos it ain't. I think that England and Wales have done incredible things with Archaeology week.. but it is that... England and Wales, which are also two countries in the UK. They are by themsleves... not Britian OR the UK. and relax. [xx(] once again... this video perhaps shows why it leaves a bad taste...

Borekickers Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - BAJR Host - 29th July 2008 What can you say "I don't have an archaeological imagination.." Borekickers Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - Weegie - 29th July 2008 Chill, Mr Hostie. Such indifference to our sensitivities is just one of the innumerable joys of being Scots, along with regular sporting humiliation and a dietary predisposition to coronary heart disease. Brian Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - RedEarth - 29th July 2008 I'm sure young Limmy will be delighted at getting two postings on BAJR - perhaps he can be sent a trowel as well, for aiding international relations in archaeology, or something. I've only just received the email about the new Festival of British Archaeology and haven't had time to read it yet. I naively thought that meant it was including Scotland - I seem to be wrong. Perhaps you can get Limmy to speak at the next BAJR conference 'Archaeolgy and national identity as explored through comedic web pages'. I have to say I don't have much faith in the CBA these days. Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - BAJR Host - 29th July 2008 I like the idea ... I like it.... I feel another trowel award coming on... perhaps he could rant on the injustice!! Weegie... you are so right... I would mind less if it was on purpose... it is just that nobody even thought it would p##s off Scotch! "I don't have an archaeological imagination.." Borekickers Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - BAJR Host - 29th July 2008 Right... I have contacted Limmy .. and awarded him a BAJR Comedy Trowel Award... This could take off... "I don't have an archaeological imagination.." Borekickers Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - shovelnomore - 29th July 2008 Would a festival of british archaeology have a fringe for the likes of the advisors to Bone Kickers...? (edited to remove dodgy spelling) Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - BAJR Host - 29th July 2008 The British Festival of Buffoonery "I don't have an archaeological imagination.." Borekickers Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - Oxbeast - 30th July 2008 'Britain' would also exclude the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, which are presently included in National Archaeology week. Festival of BRITISH archaeology ? - BAJR Host - 30th July 2008 Ah.. they are part of Britain, but not the UK technical pedant that I am (very unlike me "I don't have an archaeological imagination.."
