Alec Douglas-Home made this point very well when Harold Wilson called him out in parliament by his lordly title "14th earl of whatever" and he retorted "and you are the 14th Harold Wilson".

The 9th century Latin work Historia Brittonum (History of the Britons) says that Ireland was settled by three groups of people from the Iberian Peninsula. The first are the people of Partholón, who all die of plague. The second are the people of Nemed, who eventually return to Iberia. The last group are led by three sons of a warrior or soldier from Hispania (mīles Hispaniae), who sail to Ireland with thirty ships, each carrying thirty wives. They see a glass tower in the middle of the sea with men on top of it, but the men do not answer their calls. They set out to take the tower, but when they reach it, all but one of their ships are sunk by a great wave. Only one ship is saved, and its passengers are the ancestors of all the Irish.[3]

There is a Smith guy on the DNA database of the lab I used who it states is such a close match that he is a first cousin. I thought bullshit I'm not related to any Smiths. But then I looked at his family tree on the website and saw my mum's name on there and various uncles. Then I remembered my auntie Joan had a kid in the UK which she gave up for adoption before moving back to Dublin and this is him. I can't properly access this part of their DNA service because it's paywalled and I'm not paying for membership. But it does prove their lab work is legit.

there should be a feature on messaging apps and social media that lets you opt out of receiving voice notes. like people should not even be able to begin to record one to you if you’re not in the mood. this is a good idea and i stand by it— Beth McColl (@imbethmccoll) December 14, 2023

so not to be a buzzkill but what survives of english folklore in those areas of the country amounts to 'don't go in the bog, don't talk to anyone you meet in the bog, take nothing you find in the bog' and in that one specific area of my life I am a firm traditionalist https://t.co/4SXKTM8PnC— Oliver Darkshire 🌈 (@deathbybadger) January 8, 2024
