    ha ha ha to be honest I am a hun ( with a purposefully small h ! )
    but I'd happily go in the Brazenheid ( I used to live 2 mins up Viccy Road from there ! ) long before I set foot in the ****ing Louden again ! You get some ****in roasters in there man :lol:

    hard werk, determination, a good degree and devilishly handsome good looks - but what you really need is a little determination! :D

    Hit it Roy!

    To the OP: Did you realise how ignorant this thread would make you look? I genuinely don't think you meant any offence, but it's really dodgy ground. I myself have Irish ancestry and my uncle traced that back to Spaniards who settled in Ireland after the Armada. Or something. The Irish were Scales which came from the Spanish De Scala. We're kind of an oddity for an Irish family in that we are all black haired. Anyway, the point is that there are no pure English boxers. In fact the point is why would it matter?! I bet you wouldn't have to go too far into Hatton's family tree before you saw Irish stock for example.

    Crazy and it just goes to show. I consider myself Irish as I am from Irish stock. After all, if a dog is born in a stable does it make him a horse?

    by the way the Armada thing is a myth mate!

    Anyway its not uncommon for Irish people to have jet black hair - infact its pretty common on the west side of the country.

    Well I dunno. Just what I been told and my Uncle spent a fair bit of time and money researching it. Maybe the Spanish ended up there for some other reason?

    Anyway, you saying I'm not f*cking Spanish are you? Sorry, must have got caught up in the whole spirit of the thread there.

    This should be Pay Per View. Most entertaining thread I seen in ages.

    Erm, potatoe famine... Wasn't that something to do with Oliver Cromwell or am I barking up the wrong tree? Just something I seem to remember hearing.
