@holland_tom Masamichi Kitamoto ran the 5000m in 1932. In 1943 Japanese forces evacuated Lae (PNG) over the Saruwaged Range. Kitamoto reconnoitred the route. Hundreds died. (viz "DDay New Guinea" - Phil Bradley)

@holland_tom It has been claimed that up until then there were more Gaelic speakers in the world than English speakers. Queen Elizabeth 1 could speak Irish.

[Stephen Darmody @DarmodyStephen]

@holland_tom I've always understood that the Irish could be said to have colonised Scotland, hence the linguistic connection. Is that incorrect?

[Stephen Darmody @DarmodyStephen]

@holland_tom Hi Tom. I wonder if you'd elaborate on how the Picts "had ended up inventing an Irish ancestry for themselves".

[Stephen Darmody @DarmodyStephen]

@holland_tom Hilarious!
