    Thats if he can trick a woman into sleeping with him... No woman in her right mind would sleep with a ginger.

    Over the past few months I've started to spot some ginger hairs in my stubble. Thankfully Mr Quatro has been quick to dispose of them on all occassions. Recently people have remarked about how my hair appears to be ginger when the light is shining directly on it. This worries me because my hair used to be blonde and over the past few years slowly started turning brown. I decided thaI could live with this, sure I would lose the appeal of being blonde but I always came to the conclusion that no matter what, it would be better than being ginger!

    Has anyone out there had a similar experience? Is my ginger beard a sign of things to come? Or is it merely due to inner-Viking within me? If not, how does one go about stopping this horrific process?


    My beard has been turning ginger for a long time now. ITs ******* annoying i tell the.

    Especially as i dont like shaving :(

    Does back to black work on yore face? And if i see one ginger pube its time for a brazillian !

    Can someone please tell me what's so bad about being ginger? I've been one all my life, freckles and all. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but guys have always admired my hair and milky skin here. Should I not move to Dublin as planned then? Will I be an outcast?? ;)

    There are many many women paying a fortune to turn their hair auburn and put red highlights/tints through it! I'm a natural blonde (yes really) but I actually like some shades of red hair. Auburn/Strawberry Blonde/Dark Rich Red tones are lovely (on man or woman) but Carrot :eek: is a bit scary in my opinion!

    Have you given downstairs a thorough inspection too?

    Did you not see that South Park Episode when Eric turned ginger?

    I couldn't sleep after it and made my other half do a thorough check of the house for any stray ginger kids hiding under the bed or in my cupboards.

    Don't worry this happened to me but didn't progress any further than the beard, fortunately I started to go gray shortly afterwards, so now it's not a problem at all :D

    Despite the slagging - personally, I think that there's nothing like a bit of ginger muff. :p

    Ireland is actually one of the more ginger-friendly nations. So move to Dublin by all means. But you'd probably get a better reception in the north-western rural areas (Donegal, Sligo, Mayo).

    Somewhere between Guilder and Florin I expect

    :D When I was down in Baltimore, in West Cork, I got some very unfriendly looks of evil from the fisherman. I never fully understood why. I thought it was because I was an American woman! :p Now I figure it's because of my hair! :eek:

    They're a superstitious lot those West Cork fishermen.
    But you were really pushing it, being:
    (a) A Yank (southwesterly squalls)
    (b) A Woman (prawns will be small & diseased)
    (c) A Ginge (boat will be sunk by WWII Soviet mine)

    Ah! That makes it much clearer. I had a guy growl at me on Sherkin Island! :D

    That's a lot better than having a guy in your gowl on Sherkin Island.
