Bloomin’ Beaker folk, coming over here. Teaching us to drink liquids out of cups. What’s wrong with cupping your hands and lapping it up like a cat?

Back in the day, if you were caught whining you’d get a sharp clip round the ear, mouth washed out with leaded petrol, and made to stand under an ozone hole. Never did us any harm…
Then the wall came down, they renamed Marathon and Opal Fruits… and we haven’t felt joy since.

They all fought and died for our freedom two decades before they were born. Please show them a little respect.

I seem to remember snow used to be rationed, and you had to make do with just a little bit each week. That was real hardship. Good times. Or were they bad. I say bring it back. Or don’t.

‘Ultimately, however, “it doesn’t succeed” […] “beaker people” would largely displace earlier neolithic populations.’

Imagine the head-start we could’ve had on political & economic union. Instead, we got Beaker folk. Those bloomin’ Beaker folk… coming over here. Teaching us to drink out of cups.

Ps. Thanks for your paper in Radiocarbon & making it open access.
It’s been of great help to me learning more about C dating, but also fascinating implications for understanding of furnished burial rite. Agree with your assessment of the, um, drawbacks, of the ASCF.
