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
But 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!
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 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
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.

Hello Biff
Bye-bye Biff
Viking, haha
Blondes don't go in that category I suppose.
If it's the redheads you're talking about, I abs love em girls.
That should be do-able ... would all the ginger Asian ladies form an orderly queue to the right?
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.
All the ladies!? Join the orderly queue.
My favourites, too. As it happens
Embrace being a red head.
Here in NZ we have a "hug a ginga day"....true!(started by a radio station) 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...
Morning Tru....
Your very own convention
Prepare for next year's one.
Ye of the nearly-extinct recessive gene need all the help you can get
*ginga
Messing aside, I'm actually thinking of going red
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!

I am NOT making this up, y'all! :lair:
I'll let you know if it's ginger, if, it ever grows back.
Not ginger but have sensitive skin - some things are paying off now.
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
For years from SA I had a farmers tan of freckles, it is very nearly a tan when they all join up
Take a pic if you do! CS is waiting to see
okay the canvas is slightly more creased than it was. But it could - after 40 years in SA - have been so much worse!
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.
Vincent Van Gogh - Ginger!
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?
Just wearing tights I suppose.
I'm not doing anything more than short trips away anyway at the moment.
My (redhead) friend has been a couple of times
Mind you going on holidays with someone who thinks the true way to relax is to fall asleep on the beach has its challenges. 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 ...
