If she loses the silly war-cry (and learns to cook), she can "conquer" me any old time.

It is a little known fact that the Lucy Lawless spent part of her early years working in Gold mines in and around Kalgoorlie (part of my stomping ground) working as a cook.

For history fans, a genuine Celtic heroine is soon to be on our telly screens. The seriously, er... watchable Alex Kingston (Dr. Elizabeth Corday in ER) is to play Boudicca in a major 2 hour TV film.

For Alex fans, may I point out that she can be seen to great advantage (ahem...) in an underrated but excellent film, "The Croupier."

I'm certain I could lick her unto surrender. But otherwise suspect it's just another tabloid tail. I did like the part about the "county council archeologist" though.

Interesting story and find over there, Had her shield and weapon with her, very cool story.

matteo, agreed, minus the "up".

maximus, a celtic heroine pretty much automatically qualifies for my "in love with list", let alone that she's a lovely lady.

And I just heard British authorities have charged her corpse with possession of an illegal dagger...

So, she can cook, huh?
