Ginger nut

Being ginger is a bit like being a vampire. You can't go out in sun. You can't see yourself in a mirror, at least until you have painted on some features.

Plus people are a bit afraid of you - that temper - not to mention those rumours about s*xual appetite roll eyes

But yay turns out to be worth it after all! the fact that I am as fit as a flea, can trot up stairs, outwalk the dog, misbehave very enjoyably and have no aches, pains, twinges or arthritis, is thanks to the ginger gene! yay

The good news is that nearly everyone anywhere within range of those naughty Vikings (that's most of the UK and a fair chunk of Europe, and we ended up spreading over most of the world in the centuries since) has a ginger ancestor.

Embrace your inner ginger rolling on the floor laughing guys especially could suddenly find themselves very popular in the baby-making stakes, as women world-wide decide to rope the ginger gene into their future babies laugh

Well of course it may all turn out to be nothing like as exciting as it sounds right now. I'm just chuffed as hell to find there really is an advantage after all to being a ginger nut.

Just wanna drop by and say hello to a ginger before going back to sleep..yawn yawn sleep sleep sleep

Hello Biff wave

Bye-bye Biff wave grin
Hello DC! Good night DC! hug

Viking, haha rolling on the floor laughing
Wondering if I should get some hair dye?
weren't the redheads who are called ginger?

Blondes don't go in that category I suppose. dunno

If it's the redheads you're talking about, I abs love em girls.
Tenner, I suspect you'd be a very loving man with almost any girl no matter what her colouring rolling on the floor laughing
that is indeed true. I am very loving with any race (or whatever is the politically correct term to use) of woman in particular with the redheads and also Asians. The redheads, you know, unleash all animalistic instincts uh oh
So a redheaded Asian would send you into 7th heaven. happy place

That should be do-able ... would all the ginger Asian ladies form an orderly queue to the right?
You mentioned tans which reminded me of something.

Seeing someone come out of a tanning salon and it's wintertime.It had always amazed me.

As for me being in my baby making years is way way way behind me.I've paid my dues to society and have grey hairs to prove it.laugh
what about a ginger and a few Asians instead? perhaps a few of each; yeah?

All the ladies!? Join the orderly queue. roll eyes
Elegs I'm feisty and proud of it to.My mother was the very same way.laugh
Years ago I tried dyeing my hair blonde & it came out like those orange-palmed false tan colour. Does that count towards ginger?
Biccy anyone?

Jam, no, haha, but you're feisty too. Probably a Viking lurking, grinning and sharpening his ax, somewhere in the family tree ... laugh
Seagrit, YES!! How did you know I'm taking a coffee break? yay

My favourites, too. As it happens giggle
Biff,

Embrace being a red head. cheering

Here in NZ we have a "hug a ginga day"....true!(started by a radio station) laugh All red-headed people are given a hug if you feel that way inclined. At first I thought it was patronising, but then looked at it differently in that red-haired people are special. I should know....I have a son who is one. He has the brown eyes and freckles and we went through the phase of him wanting to dye his hair another colour....but now he accepts who he is and proud of it....he even joins in, when it's "ginga day"....he reckons he's met some lovely girls on the day in question... laugh

wave
wow doh laugh

Morning Tru....hug
Here ya go, Ginge. ..

Your very own convention

Prepare for next year's one.

Ye of the nearly-extinct recessive gene need all the help you can get sigh laugh laugh


@baby

*ginga
kiddin uh oh
gingerbread Biff grin

Messing aside, I'm actually thinking of going red conversing
WHY do blondes have more fun?
There's not enough Gingers to go around.

About 2 percent of the world's population is Ginger.
The world's smallest minority is also it's coolest! cool

After being attacked in hospital by a women (and thats questionable) brandishing a hair clipper, I no longer have enough hair to say what colour it is.

I'll let you know if it's ginger, if, it ever grows back.confused
See the positive site Biff - you couldn't go a lot into the sun, always wore sun protection and probably have a lot less wrinkles than all the people getting barbecued for years. conversing

Not ginger but have sensitive skin - some things are paying off now. banana
My Ginger daughter got mega fried about 20 years ago. blushing It resulted in a 'freckle bloom'; you can still see the outline of the swimsuit she was wearing. wow

Molly I am so looking at coming over for that convention!! Bet all the flights are booked out long ago, though. But are you around at that time? Seriously? it did sound an absolute hoot rolling on the floor laughing
Itchy, I had my hair traffic-light red for a short while in my twenties, boy did I have fun laugh

Redheads have great hair colour, its all the rest of the stuff that's a pain in the butt. Blondes who go red get the best of both worlds very mad
Mick, you're now officially in charge of Ginger Marketing rolling on the floor laughing

For years from SA I had a farmers tan of freckles, it is very nearly a tan when they all join up sigh
Sola, it may never grow back. Your days of being a fuzzy teddy bear may be over wow but on the other hand there are women who like the smooth hairless type. Hope your special lady is one of them, but at worst you can buy ginger curls and stick 'em on? rolling on the floor laughing

Take a pic if you do! CS is waiting to see daydream
KN, that's true, and the other advantage is my face is a blank canvas, I can paint on pretty nearly any features I like depending on my mood laugh

okay the canvas is slightly more creased than it was. But it could - after 40 years in SA - have been so much worse!
Being good at painting is a plus as well. idea

I don't tan, hate fake tan and allergic to a lot of make-up - pretty good thing I didn't crease too much either. laugh
Painters...

Mick, cool! I'm an autumn, and my eyes decide by the day whether to be green or hazel laugh

Daywalkers, oh wow. Never heard that one, but of course I live in a country where it seems over half the population is either red or grows a red beard, you'd think if anyone had classified the types we would have but nah!

Have you been up all night, or did you get some sleep? wow
Yeah ... don't go reminding people we can be loony, y'hear?
I had a fake spray-on tan once - it looked like cows spots when it was fading and this is a look I'm not going to repeat. laugh

Just wearing tights I suppose. moping

I'm not doing anything more than short trips away anyway at the moment. sigh
Biff, it's only about half an hour's drive away.

My (redhead) friend has been a couple of times laugh
KN, yeah, the leprous look isn't good. I tend now to use the wash-off sort and mix it with regular cream and sunblock and hey. The days when everyone strove for the baked look are largely gone anyway, phew. laugh

Mind you going on holidays with someone who thinks the true way to relax is to fall asleep on the beach has its challenges. roll eyes there's him, stretched out like a side of meat and glistening in the sun, and there's me in me hat, me shades and me gauzy wrap, reading a book in between fanning myself with it ... cool
