Thread: Celts under the skin

    Default Celts under the skin

    I thought some of you would be interested in this article and amused by the heated debate following it.

    Donald,

    I'm wondering if the author was just bored and knew in advance the heated debate's that would be started?

    Sure looks like it got a lot of people "motivated". They would all be happier if they just went fishing, don't you think?

    Jonezee,
    I'll bet he has his own way of dealing with music critics .

    rookie -
    It is a perfectly reasonable use for DNA research, you can't hold the reporter or the scientists responsible for the reactions of loonies and barmpots. Still, I'd rather be fishing myself.

    It is an age old question highly debated and it is much more important than location of people, ancestry and such when considering politics.

    What is the final tally on what the Scotsman wears under his Kilt?

    In the words of Stripes, "Our fathers were kicked out of every other country...."

    Donald,
    This really hits home for me.
    Born in NZ, yank father, kiwi mother.
    Mother was Scottish surnamed and when a family tree was done on the NZ side, turned out all except two (my grandfather, Scottish, and great grandfather, German, and from the states no less) were Irish.
    Father was a Spanish surnamed Irishman, and very Irish they were. A lifetime of explaining how we
    were Irish (158even with the Spanish name.
    And now this. Makes for great bar talk, but I don't drink. Broke that chain.
    Thanks for the link.
