It's too easy to ignore your nonsense, and when you do manage to
complete a full thought, I like to be there for you, making
corrections, giving you guidance and support, etc.
You need us much more than we need you.

Oh you betcha,

I lost my cable, you see and the comedy network was my life.

A gentleman from the land of Lord and King Arthur.


I thought you said you were Welsh?

Arthur was French.

Arthur was a legend, and, if there was any basis for his existence, he
could have been any one of a number of nationalities.

Kingsley

Since Arthur was almost entirely invented by a man called Chrétien de
Troyes, I suspect he wasn't Australian.

He was hardly invented by Chrétien de Troyes. He turns up in Welsh legends
that predate Chrétien by several hundred years, and he's mentioned in
passing in Y Gododdin, which is probably about 6th century AD.

Yes, but the semi-historical/legendary Arthur has been superseded for
everybody but a few scholars by the fictional French fellow. Not much
but the name and association with Britain remained.

Umm, NO he wasn't. The story of Arthur did migrate to France and come back
to Britan with changes but the original archetype was from Britan and many
DO say Wales.
