    Thanks a million Mark, based on that description I myself am  black
Irish, black hair, tallish, high colour, and clumsy as hell with both hands
and feet!!!! rotfl!!!!
    Fascinating reply, especially about the hands and feet thingy.

    I also am black Irish by inheritence, rather a cuckoo's chick among the
more typically Scandanavian Dreyers & most Afrikaners.
     My brother on the other hand betrays closer links to the insular type:
Short limbs -  he stands five foot six inches in his socks, & in the Old
Days they wouldn't let him into cinemas with an age rating because he was
too young... He grew a beard for that but it didn't look convincing. In his
late teens he turned grey. Nothing wrong with his manual dexterity though,
& alike with other marks of our grandmother's kin he is a first-class
craftsman & mechanic, & he's a devil for a fight.

Wishing much the same,
all yours, Mark
