You know i don't look like that at all. I'm more like the Irish Spring commercial girl.
Oh wait, you don't have those commercials.
Oh well. you know.

Soap. Tell BG to bring you a bar of it. Smells great and the commercials were full of people with fake Irish accents. (and cable knit sweaters)

Actually, redheads make up only a small minority of the Irish. I'd estimate that for every one hundred Irish people, ninety-four would have black or brown hair, four would be blonde, and two would have red hair.
IT would be able to give a more accurate assessment though.

That might be so, but if you want to see a lot of redhaired people, go the Milwaukee Irish Fest.

Is it in March? I think one of the last places I want to be at in March is Wisconsin.

Thanks for the ping Irish. Did I hear enda Kenny on the radio yesterday saying that 22% of out prison population are from outside europe!! I wonder what that percentage is for prisoners who are non-Irish? Give Ireland 10 more years and we'll be every bit as much of a basket case as Gordan Browns UK is.
