True, although... I'm not really a Celticist. I'll probably never have Modern Welsh, Breton, etc, and Old Irish, etc are right out--I just can't seem to get my head around any language that you learn from a book rather than by talking in it. And my faculty in the Irish Studies department... I like them, but they don't seem to tend towards the grand eccentricity that at least some Classicists can still get away with. Although perhaps that's a dying breed, even there? I certainly hope not, but I wonder.

Most welcome!
I'm sure you can still do Celtic and eccentric.

I totally need some Denholm Elliott icons.
Those do sound like useful things to have.
