Celts came from a wide area centred on central Europe .

If you have a problem with a specific comment , quote it ."

First you never answered the question .Or attempted to refute the next comment .

Now read the the bit about the quote "If you have a problem with a specific comment " that means something that I had said "Quote it " that means you highlight what I had said that you have a problem with ,put quotes around it then explain the problem .

You are talking about your own comment e.g. " I suspect my original comment was about Celts/Kelts. " .
Although you may have a problem with your own comment , that is obviously not what I was talking about .
If you want to discuss the Celts say something meaningful about them , even attempt to answer the first question .
This is a discussion forum don't behave like a Trump(ette) .

It might help if you took your time and read posts then you won't get your bollocks chewed off and waste space and others time .

"Celtic from the West " , I read some time ago , interesting but not convincing ,and most geneticists and linguists interested in the period and subject don't buy it either .
I don't need to watch the lecture , and won't be providing links to tell you what to watch either .

More to the point , as in the question you failed to answer , not related to what I had been saying earlier .
Your making Donald look reasonable .

Fortunately for me I don't possess a pair of bollocks so am taking a chance to tell you about a book I just bought about Orkney - called The Outrun by Amy Liptrot.

It's a memoir written by a young woman who had been brought up on Orkney - the previous decade in London had been spent struggling with addiction so she goes back home to find herself again in the wildness of Orkney.

Will Self writes: "A lyrical brave memoir. It's Liptrot's aptitude for marrying her inner space with wild outer spaces that make her such a compelling writer ... "

I'm enjoying it a lot.
