I’m guessing Janet Leigh, who isn’t.

BTW, I’ve always felt bad for Ernest Borgnine; virtually every female “blind date” is compared to him.

I suspect you already know that any town or city in the Celtic region that ends in the “BY” is the Danish word “Town” or “Village” and is pronounced bu. For instance -by and thorpe are much more common in Danish place names.
Aislaby is a Viking place name meaning Aislac’s village. It is one of only a very small number of place names ending in ‘by’ in the North East north of the River Tees
Appleby in Cumbria means a Viking village where apples grew.

Mead is to sweet. We Maxwell’s stole what ever we needed from our cousins across the boarder. Lowlanders of largely English derivation, we didn’t wear dresses.

How ironic. My name first name is a family surname originating from Old Norse, and I have Celtic blood.

I think the Peanut family is actually mentioned in Icelandic sagas.

It was observed that at lean times, the ladies would walk in to the Hall, where we were drinking strong ale, playing cards, and generally doing guy thngs.
They would toss the swords on the table, braking up the game, and say, "Need food!"
Now if you did or suspected you held a winning hand it kind of fired you up. much to the detriment of our Southern neighbors.

Celtic blood? I knew it!
To: daler
If it hasn’t already been done, one of these days we need to do a special Ernest post!

After the Battle of Hastings, one of my G’Grandmothers (I forget how many generations ago), told William the Conquerer to go get f’d, and defended her castle against him for years. Her husband had died in the battle.
Cool, huh?

That is a great story.
This is why we study history.
To learn from it, and hear about people of character.
