Oh well, if yer all still talking about them Romans, I guess we can skip forward a couple of thousand years.
When Ol' Julius arrived the lying bastard said "Veni, vidi, vici". 'Corse it weren't true. We 'ad sent along a welcoming committee to greet his boat and 'e just went and beat the shit out ov 'em, 'e only got away wiv it 'cos they was all old farts dressed up in robes. If they'd a bin warriors in their woad, 'e wouldna stood a chance.
Then 'e made 'is famous statement and buggered off back 'ome. It took them Romans over a hundred years of searching orl over their bloody Empire before they came up with enough soldiers to really beat us.
