Little known fact.

King Arthur's head smithie invented on command, the first Lazy Susan,
( named after his older sister).
It was 250 feet in diameter and was rotated by a team of four draft horses.

I thought his sister was named Anna, or Morgaine, or Morgana, or Morgause.

Hmmm......

King Edward III is an ancestor of yours, so you weren't in error declaring yourself to be a "Warrior Princess."

I shall henceforth call mine Lazy Morgana!

Let it be told again, how there it stood,
There by the Camel's fabled stream
There the keep arose, a fortress strong,
Strong enough to hold a dream
Fifteen hundred years or more
Glimmering like a chimera in the telling,
A place where one man strived to stand tall
Against the darkness gathering, swelling
To wipe away the light that was,
And bravely through that twilight strode the Bear,
And for a season, he succeeded,
And planted the dream that lingers there.
And yet in the end, the darkness called his name,
Blood fighting blood, love betrayed,
Are what we remember best of what he wrought,
except the lone promise made
When carried off to Avalon
for healing beyond time and space
on that fair faerie isle,
to return again - Arthur, lo, quicken your pace!

Time Team is one of my favorite programs, unfortunately I have not seen any for a few years, but according to this http://www.channel4.com/history/timeteam/ it is possible to purchase a DVD.

I've been looking for the oldest privy that went with my 202 year old farmhouse. I heard you can find all kinds of cool stuff. Bottles, porcelain dolls, guns, etc.

Any "privy archaelogists" who are members of Free Republic? I'll split the booty with ya! No cracks please, er, I mean...

Oh, never mind. Ha!!
