Bla bla bla.

I dislay my car keys once in a while.

the movie was okay as far as it goes. Many liberties taken.

Shirley, you’re not surprised by this, are you?

It is said the sun never set on the British empire, but that was because God didn’t trust them in the dark.

Wallace was a ‘border reiver’, which is to say a ‘rustler’. It happened on both sides of the border and , occasionally, still does.

Mr Gibson admitted in an interview that he did not care about historic accuracy, he just wanted a good story….

Examples being Wallace would not have worn a kilt (long after his time) would not have worn blue (long before his time) would not have got the queen pregnant (She was 4 at the time of his execution) Wallace and The Bruce never met and finally (cause I cant remember all the rest)Primae noctis has never been used in the entire history of the British Isles.

“On the woad again, I’m turning blue I’m on the woad again…”

I like he black & white except for the blue face. Well done!

Longshanks indeed is! He can barely bestride his horse without dragging his feet along the ground.Wallace on the other hand is really short stuff.I think I see a lot of Asterix and Obelix influence here….

I especially like this strip, it brought a smile to my face. My ancestor stood beside Wallace at Sterling Brig.

Which lay is dis one? Why dis one and not dat lay?Not to mention, it would have been more economical to replace ‘put on dislay’ with ‘dePicted’.

I thought dislay is some archaic term. Probably another way of saying epic.

What’s the use of wearing braces?Spats and hats and boots with laces?Vests and pants you buy in placesDown on Brompton Road?What’s the use of shirts of cotton?Studs that always get forgotten?These affairs are simply rotten,Better far is woad.Woad’s the stuff to clothe men.Woad to scare your foemen.Boil it to a brilliant hueAnd rub it on your back and your abdomen.Ancient Britons never hit onAnything as good as woad to fit onNecks or knees or where you sit on.Tailors you be blowed!!Romans came across the ChannelAll wrapped up in tin and flannelHalf a pint of woad per man’llClothe us more than these.Saxons used to waste their stitchesBuilding beds for bugs in britchesWe have woad to clothe us which isNot a nest for fleasRomans keep your armours.Saxons your pyjamas.Hairy coats were meant for goats,Gorillas, yaks, retriever dogs and llamas.Tramp up Snowdon with your woad on,Never mind if you get rained or snowed onNever need a button sewed on.Go it Ancient Bs!!
