    Legions!!? WTF? Back in my young day we had the Gauls and the Belgii proper foe they were. Now who have we? Picts! Celtii! Who cares? Bunch of limp wristed lily whites. Don't talk to me about Hibernians, not worth strapping my sandals tight. They've all gone soft. Four Legions to keep this lot in line? I could do it with my old cohort and a handful of Auxilia. Youngsters today wouldn't recognize a proper insurrection if it bit them on the bum.

    Yeah, it all went tits-up when they stopped doing the crucifixions. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times: I don't care how hard you are, no-one wants to get nailed to a tree.

    Yeah, them were the days. Remember the Helvetii? 'No I'm Cancellara!' We nailed them up anyway, happy times :) Protest was proper protest then.

  • Nitpicking but I thought Caesar said that the Belgae were the bravest of all the Gauls...
