I think mobile throwing would be a great way to blow off some steam. XD And the Scots are amazing - and they totally rock those kilts, they're skirts and they're still the manliest pieces of clothing ever! <3 Also they have David Tennant and John Barrowman, which just adds to their glory. <3 Ah, I should have expected it was the Welsh! XD I mean, people going around telling each other stuff like "whyllwlylwlyw" and understanding it ... there's just something not quite right but seriously crazy awesome about them. I'd be careful in labelling all of them Brits - I'd at least consider the English separatly, first. XD
I'm not surprised because you've never been there ... but I am because you remember that thing in Horace! ** He did write a poem about Fons Bandusiae, which some people claim actually was in Banzi - the only famous thing about it! XD I've never seen any snow in Basilicata, as we only go there in Summer. When I was younger, I didn't really like going there: we had to travel for hours by car to get to this tiny little town where everybody was either an over-affectionate relative who talked way too much or a noisy bored kid smoking in the park ... all the small places problems, you know. But in time I started to appreciate the town's strong points, like the medieval Norman parade or the tarantella & pizzica nights - I couldn't dance to save my life, but it's fun watching and listening to the music. But yeah, Basilicata is a really beautiful land. For example, I've always wanted to go on the Dolomites. :)
French is really quite easy to understand, yeah. The words are pretty similar to Italian and the grammar isn't too hard to make out even when you're just hearing it. :) That's how Swedes and Norwegians usually describe it. XD I read somewhere that Danish and Norwegian (Bokmal, at least) are more alike when it comes to grammar, but Danish has such a weird pronunciation that Norwegians understand spoken Swedish better. And then, of course, there are all the "not even Danes understand Danish" jokes. XD Wow, I didn't even know modern glìma existed! It sounds so cool! ** Everything Old Norse is awesome, you're right, and I think I get what you mean about the "cute roughness". <3
