#5 Speaking as a native of the British Isles I find this action deeply insensitive and hurtful. Have they no idea how successful generations of pagan celts suffered under the violent and racist policies of the vikings? This sabre rattling by the Danes and Norweigans will not go unpunished - Oh stand firm you peace-loving celts and the victory day will be yours.

#6 Yep, we (speaking as an ex-brit) want that Danegeld back with interest.

#7 Sounds like one cartoon could put you over the tipping point, Howard!

#9 Somebody once did a contest for an alternate ending to The Immigrant Song, that wasn't so wimpy. They quickly discovered that Norse words are a mother to rhyme.

#10 The 747 of the Viking era? More vikings tourists per passenger load to chase the local gals, pick up the shiny trinkets, and generally make pests of themselves from England, to France, to sunny Sicily. At least they didn't wear Hawaiian shirts, shorts, and sandals.

#12 Howard UK,
Well, if one of us feels badly, then we must all feel badly as all moral authority is seeded in political corectness.
Send the 5 members of the current generation of Pagen Celts to the pitch, and round up 5 members of Viking heritage (boys named Olav,Hoken etc) and settle this thing the civilized way- 5 penalty kicks. If that ends in a tie, we go to sudden death.
We could even televise this thing with all proceeds going to the United Nations.

The one currently at the camp has been restored a few times, could use a replacement

Just don't let the (Minnesota) Vikes take it on the lake! ;-D

#15 I wonder how long the one the Danes used to get to their trading camp on the Nene River was? It was about 40 miles from the current Wash, but was supposedly only about 15 miles upriver during the 11th Century.

#16 I agree Phil & Howard. We need to demand our reparations!! All Norsemen today should pay for what happened 1100 years ago to our ancestors, it's only fair! Diflin was the slave name for Dublin afterall.

Happy Juneteenth y'all! Holla!
