Asterix the Gaul

[swee'pea99]

Asterix in Britain was my fave...suddenly disengaging from battle for afternoon tea....

If you liked that, do whatever you can to get hold of Pliny the Elder by The Goons, which covers the invasion and aftermath - Spike Milligan at his absolute peak: "For ten years Caesar ruled with an iron hand...then with a wooden foot...finally with a piece of string."

I liked the one when they came over to Britannia.

Aterix in Briton

Marcus Ginantonicus - genius!

And there was a Briton called 'Mykingdomforanos'. The translators did an amazing job.

This is the Asterix in Britain book.

Mrs B sometimes refers to me as Obelix, Asterix's friend, because of my habit of collecting and doing stuff with rocks.

Love it!

My missus has a pair of legging which due to the color/pattern will be forever referred to as her "Obelix trousers".

(She is rather more svelte than the Gaul in question.)

My kids had the books and I read them all. Still have most of them kicking around but some have gone off to the the grandkids. I dug them out again just last week.
