Nah, Philistine origins are traced to the arrival as conquerors of a group of people on the coast of modern Israel and Gaza. They were culturally related to the Mycenean or proto-Greek world and came from a point of origin in the Aegean thought by most scholars to have been Crete. They conquered the local Caananite western-Semitic speaking population of the coast, and together the conquered people and the invaders created a blended, west-Semitic speaking culture that we call Philistine.

Was it something to do with getting the Brits out of the 'Treaty Ports'?

Something to do with the unrest in postwar Greece?

**Gremlin** · 23-07-2010, 21:24

Nope to both of those. It's a bit obscure so Google hunting is permissible on this one! :D

I remember from college that it was something to do with a toast in favour of King George or something like that.
The Irish were teetering on independency, but at some dinner, a toast was declared, and the Irish leader went mental......
It's all i remember about from the potato famine.....
