ahhh but everyone knows that they stoled the holy grail and buried it somewhere in the vicinity
of arques or queribus or somewhere


all the cathar castles are fucking incredible incidentally... well worth a visit

Hmm, I know, I really need to try and get down there at
some point. The good wine also helps!

I thought the grail (whatever it is) was kept at Rennes Le Chateau?

I really do read to much dubious stuff. Althogh The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail is a facinating read.

frankly i only ever flicked through it
so you're probably right... as i say the castles are fantastic... queribus and perypetuse (sp?) in particular

If you like Grail lore stuff may I advise you to avoid "The Da Vinci Code"?
Load of absolute crap. Mindless, illiterate nonsense, patantly ripping off the far superior Foucault's Pendulum.

Yeah, I'd heard that.
Foucoult's Pendulum rocks though.

I can also recommend Flicker. A mixture of Foucault's Pendulum and a history of Cinema. Absolutly barking and yet brilliant.
