Although in my opinion frog got a few things wrong in his posts I must congratulate him on bringing the subject of behaviour up and most have responded in a splendid way.
It's now a charming site with niceties and pleasantries abounding.
I was thinking of inviting monty and one or two others for tea but I will be away for a short time...This may help a bit by removing me from the situation as I do seem to be a red flag to a bull at times.
I congratulate all those who are responding to frog's pleas and I for one will try and continue to post in a polite and respectful manner.....I have total trust that others will continue to do the same.
I will be monitoring the situation from my sun bed so please continue with the charm.
Well done frog and a thank you to pocket rocket who calmed me down at a time I was about to boil over.
Lots of love

Another holiday. Wow. How very much I envy you. Another cruise with the delightful Mrs K?
Thank you very much monty for your heartfelt and totally genuine comments.
I feel that I am ready for a spot of sunshine and a game or two of blackjack with the American guests who like a gamble.
I wish you all the best and thank you once again for the kindest of comments.
May I say without embarrassing you how much I have enjoyed reading some of your articles on the battle of Brunenburh.
I was particularly interested in another author's view that the site may have been Brinsworth as I used to live there on Roman Crescent.
Absolutely gripping stuff and I admire your enthusiasm for this topic and even as a non enthusiast on this particular topic I absolutely loved trawling through your work.
k with love and respect
Compliments of the morning to you Kempo
And to you gmgm.
I do hope the boxing training is going well.
I am sidelined at the moment due to problems with my chronic groin injury a legacy of a lifetime of fitness training but I hope to be back soon.
Have a really good day and I do hope your business is thriving also.

You have made my day despite the wrong spelling of Brunanburh (Zil has the same trouble). I am glad that you have finally realised that I was not the proponent of Brinsworth. Sad to say it's most prominent advocate, Michael Wood, has now changed his mind and thinks the battle was a few miles away on a hill overlooking the river Went. If you like I can send you a signed copy of my various articles, a dvd of my TV series and an advance copy of my book soon to be out with the OUP. Don't worry about the Latin, Old English and Gaelic passages as I provide translations for the non-academic reader.
It's an interesting topic Monty.
I think the battle ground might have been further away. My thought is that it might have been at Stamford Bridge. A traditional strongpoint river crossing and natural geographical boundary.
The later much recorded battle of 1066 would have obliterated any real archaeological evidence thus making proof impossible.
