Irish actress Maureen O'Hara and the most famous red heads in history - SEE PHOTOS

Please! Oliver Cromwell was NOT Irish!!!

Ha ha..I didn't see your post for 2 days..Sorry to keep you waiting..I have to admire you in a way Mr Towngate..At least you try. You are getting a bit better on the come-backs.If you are a writer..Remember all writing has to come from your balls.Don't hold back. I kinda like ya Creaky..You could have made a good Irishman. But the gentle peace loving Searlit..While she disapproves of me using foul language..She never hit me in the heart by saying..Quote"Please Towngate, what has happened to you? You don't sound very fond of the Irish".Unquote Then your groveling response..Quote."I promise. I love Ireland and my fellow Irish more each day"Unquote..ha ha ha. I rolled around the place laughing Creaky. She rattled you to the core.Jan 25, 2011, 03:25 AM EST. At least I know who I am.I am of ancient Irish heritage whom the Protestant ascendancy class were very happy to allow their daughters to bear my ancestors..A very rare case indeed..But all were rather pleased after the wedding night.A genetic trait to which my wife is also pleased I required..ha ha .But power and contacts will open any Protestant legs.So here I am. Surrendered once Creaky at the point of gun.But never again says my dead ancestors. No!! Creaky, my heritage is well known..I am the real Irish. Ask Wolf Tone,Robert Emmet,Thomas Davis and Paddy Pearse and Tom Barry...My family brought the guns Creaky..Not all of them,our American friends helped more then they will ever know,but enough to let the British know,they needed 100,000 soldiers in Ireland at any one time and not 50,000 in pus*y India.So who are you Mr Towngate?

LATE REPLY but hope you get it. SEARLIT: Nothing has happened, I promise. I love Ireland and my fellow Irish more each day. My "Kick and Kiss" style is very good for 'drawing fire' and exposing those who use this great site to attack everyone who doesn't happen to agree with their bigotry. It amuses me greatly that I have been identified as an Englishman living in the UK, defender of all that is British, when nothing could be further from the truth! My 'ironical teasing' eludes many posters here - like poor McInerneygalway who seems to think there is something in my post that says I am angry about redheads! Far from it! Then the lovely CONCANNON, who 'gets it' right away! ................Interestingly, the reference to an invader who became: " More Irish than the Irish Themselves" were "Normans"(who built all those lovely castles dotting the countryside and who famously ‘intermingled’ with the ‘native’ women! ) after they came across from ENGLAND which they'd Conquered earlier, when they'd come from Northern FRANCE (Norman-dy) - which as " Norsemen" they had Conquered even earlier, having left SCANDINAVIA! So you see, when somebody claims they are “Pure Irish”, you could have the Right to ask: ‘Are you really SURE about that?’ If they object – tell them to go get ‘intermingled’!

I always read that Custer was a blond. As for myself, I'm blonde, but always loved red-headed men (auburn, mostly)! I dated 7 of 'em in my day!!

As I'm apparently the red-haired descendant of a Norseman rapist and pillagist, uh...pillager...ah well, we can't choose our ancestors, now can we!? Towngate, I loved your comments! You remind us that we can't take ourselves very seriously. The Danes wreaked a little havoc, but even they eventually became "more Irish than the Irish"! I heard that somewhere...

What an angry man you are Towngate! How sad, and pathetic. Im a redhead and I love it, its an auburn colour and ill never change it,

I am a scots/irish blue eyes redhead from isle barra who is a actor in hollywood ,ca and being a male redhead is a wee bit tougher to get parts then women who are redheads.

Please Towngate, what has happened to you? You don't sound very fond of the Irish.

Attn; Bernie Malone, Scotia Land was the original name for Ireland. It may be why Americans confuse the Red Haired Scots as Irish. But what about the girl in the Bus Eireann advertisement? And The Irish Setter has a red head also. But best of all is The Irish Terrier, (known as The Red Devil) Does anybody know who the girl on the Bus Eireann poster was and is it possible to get those posters still?

SO GLAD the NORSEMEN ( That’s who they were. - 'Viking' is what they did ! ) took time off from all that rape, pillage and book-burning to settle down and Found the great city of Dublin. Of course they had to crack a few inferior local heads to do it - but from the resounding success of the Irish Nation in conducting its domestic affairs, it’s towering position on the World Stage and the ability Irish people to travel and settle throughout the entire world, to inform everyone how wonderful it is - I'm sure you'll agree; the loss of a few skulls, maidenheads, and a few ould scribbled jotters, is a small price to pay for such a Magnificent Achievement!

Doesnt the red hair come from the Vikings who raped and pillaged burned the books about the hsitory of the world that us Irish Compiled

my 5th cousin on my mothers side from Donegal had red hair and she was nutz

what would we do without maureen for womanhood.

My mom was a red-head and I was blonde. Hair grew darker and I colored it blonde. Went to get the color stripped out of my hair to bring it to its natural shade and there was all this red in it. Stylist said, "that's your base color." Who knew? I do have other red heads in my family-both sides so guess I should not be so surprised. Don't forget Carmel Quinn the singer.

You nleft out the Pirate Queen of Galway.
