Red hair, freckles, experts at Irish dancing, and blessed with ‘the gift of the gab’ are the usual Irish stereotypes. However, studies have shown that only ten percent of Irish people are redheads.
EMOTIONAL tributes have been paid to a ‘special dad’ from Bolton who died at the scene of a horrific two-car smash on Tuesday night. Jamie Crompton, 34, was driving a black Fiat 500 when he was involved in a collision at the junction of Long Causeway and Albert Road in Farnworth shortly before 11pm on May 25. The vehicle collided with a silver Vauxhall Insignia, according to police. The scene of the tragedy has since been filled with flowers and tributes. A card ‘in memory of a special Dad’ has been attached to railings at the scene of the crash, alongside pictures of Mr Crompton with loved ones.

In one stretch in this film she closes a show in Toronto, flies overnight to Palm Springs, does a gig, flies overnight to Minneapolis, and performs another one. Try that sometime.
