I've started a family tree, but unless I pay, I can't look into potential DNA matches. Had a few people message me saying they might be related, but I've not replied. Ironically, my mother is Scottish, and dad is English, so where the Irish comes in, no one knows. Erin go Bragh, I guess...
I should have taken the other one, that tells me how much Neanderthal I am. lol. Because us auburn haired big ugly buggers have to be prehistoric...
You might have something there - I have more Neanderthal DNA than 82% of the rest of the tested population, and I have the ugly part down pat, and am 6'2" tall. My son has more Neanderthal DNA than 91% of the rest of the tested population (meaning he had to get a fair bit from his ma which I can believe, that was different from the Neanderthal DNA he got from me), and he's got the auburn hair and is about 6 and a half feet tall...

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
