    Lanky Mongrel. Both parents from Lancashire. One grandmother from Scouseland, Toxteth and an Evans to boot and christened Maria Lysette (French Connection). One grandfather from Gloucestershire. And a great great grandmother who was from Malta.
    And if anybody tied me down I would have to admit that I was a pure bred Hooligan.
    Oh yes. And an English Asylum Seeker to boot.
    Animals I like, people I tolerate.

    100% Thurso, born and bred, though I am researching my family tree and go back to Ireland, as far as 1691, to a wee place called Plumbridge in County Tyrone.

    Half Irish, half Stroma. So I'm an immigrant to Wick.

    Small world Badger, Fishtoft was just up the road from where I used to live in Boston, I had a horse for a while up at Marsh Farm. Whereabouts in Fishtoft were you from.

    Sorry Paris had to ask, but I'll add my heritage too.
    Born in England as was my mother and her family as far back as we can possibly go. My father is believed to have Irish parents, he was adopted and so thats all we know.
