Re: Caldicot 2010 pictures
Look, the whole episode has been quite pathetic. Most of the posts were people responding to what someone said someone had said, or meant, rather than what was actually written down. Personally I'd have ignored the requests to remove it, but what's the value in bringing it back, just so that someon...

Re: Caldicot 2010 pictures
so in effect you deleted them not split them off as they are no longer viewable by non-moderators. Given the whole storm in a teacup/toys out of pram affair that these 'non constructive' comments caused and the resultant debate regarding sly and back handed comments, surely it would have been better...

Re: Do re-enactors REALLY look the part ?
I'm trying desperately to remember the name of the LH museum in America which has just the kind of portrayal many here seem to envisage: Imagine wandering to the edge of the town, onto the farm. As a member of the public you can see a man accross the other side of a field, in period garb (Victorian...

Re: meat fruit
best results have been from macerating the parsley (stems as well as leaves) then grinding in a mortar along with small quantities of hot water. the resultant pulp then squeezed out and the liquid used.

British Library has an illustration from c.1540 of an English captain of foot wearing v tight hose up to knacker level and what look like slashed 'pumpkin' breeches in a different colour. In fact if it wasn't for the date you'd swear it was 'Lizabeeethan'. c**k, I'd forgotten about that one! Probab...

No sly dig intended, merely the simple question 'why debateable?' Your second post though clarifies matters as I believe what you are asking is simply put as "were the top and bottom of the leg covering garments seperate items or one?" Would that be correct? I have yet to see an illustration that wo...

Aren't some of those bog people tattooed, though? yes, as is Otzi the 'iceman' as well as many of the Pazyryk (?) mummies from the Eurasian steppes. Using charcoal dust as the pigment leads to a blue ish tattoo. The pigment can either be rubbed into the pricked holes or applied by sewing where a si...
