TO EDUCATE THE IGNORANT OF THE ORIGIN OF RED HAIR :-)

i posted this thread to educate certain peeps, in F1 last night i was thouroughly abused and ridiculed (to the point that i nearl threw my dolly out of the pram) when i stated that red hair in fact came from the vikings and the saxons ect…….to prove my point i just had to post information here !!!….no need to ask which pair of thickos were arguing that they knew better !!!! :wink: :P

“… Buduica [Boudicca], a Briton woman of the royal family and possessed of greater intelligence than often belongs to women… assembled her army, to the number of some 120,000, and then ascended a tribunal which had been constructed of earth in the Roman fashion. In stature she was very tall, in appearance most terrifying, in the glance of her eye most fierce, and her voice was harsh; a great mass of the tawniest hair fell to her hips; around her neck was a large golden necklace; and she wore a tunic of divers colours over which a thick mantle was fastened with a brooch. This was her invariable attire. She now grasped a spear to aid her in terrifying all beholders … [There then follows a lengthy rallying speech, purportedly given by Boudicca] … Having finished an appeal to her people … Buduica led her army against the Romans; for these chanced to be without a leader, inasmuch as Paulinus [Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, governor of Britain], their commander, had gone on an expedition to Mona [Anglesey], an island near Britain.”

tawny owls aren’t ginger are they ??? !!!! this one will be a hard one to prove either way as there are references of boudicca having every colour hair imaginable…..apart from green as it would have clashed with her teeth….no toothbrushes then you understand…… :wink: :P
