Hey MrGoatse you've got the Celtic Gene!

I was browsing the information super dual-carrigeway the other day (was I browsing or surfing..I dunno) and I came across an article about the 'Celtic Gene' that some Irish folk have. It seems it makes them more susceptible (im sure Ive spelt that wrong) to Haemochromatosis - it means they have too much iron in the blood, but Im sure the higher than average IQ of my readers on here already worked that out from the roots of the big H word (Phil, I explained it for your benefit!)

MrGoatse is of both Scottish and Irish ancestry, so I reckon that makes him a proper celt, and I really did laugh out loud when I read the symptoms. Firstly, exessive tiredness - MrG is always late! Secondly, Liver problems...well I imagine with all the ale he puts away he will have liver problems sooner or later! Thirdly, Impotence...I always wondered why his lady friend looked a bit down at heel - now we know why!

But the bit that made me laugh the most was the revelation that it effects people who easily tan! How many celtic folk do you know who easily tan??! Erm....none! I think even I tan better than the celts and i only have to be out in the sun for 2 seconds and Im burnt to a frazzle! So, MrG I don't actually reckon you have the gene.

Scientific studies eh? I could have spent that money on beer :-(

Im not messing with the Scots Hazard, the report on the BBC that I am basing it on talks about the Irish :-) Im pointing out that Mike (Mr Goatse, and a good friend of mine, who is half Scottish and half Irish) may or may not have some of the symptoms. But the overall point Im making is that the money would have better been spent on ale :-) Although maybe not Guiness, cos thats got lots of Iron in!
