Boudicea Tells Rome "Up Yours!"

I did a little research today about British hand gestures because I have noticed on TV that a particular gesture that is entirely friendly in the U.S. is not so in England. The V. Yes, what means "victory," "peace," or "two" to Americans, can mean "something rude" to the Brits, you know, depending on which way your hand is facing. Going on context I thought it was their version of The Finger, but it turns out they've got that as well. I also learned that you shouldn't give Greeks an air five or put horns on an Italian.

In other news, in the hopes of doing some Romano-British storytelling while I am here I have created a story about Boudicea. Turning the work of a historian (Tacitus) into compelling storytelling is not at all easy. I usually prefer to tell in third person, but after weeks of struggle I decided Boudicea had better do the talking herself. I also took great liberties with Caesar's Gallic Wars. What fun!
