To think us gingas really are taking over the world!!

[MammaTJisanOlympicSumoWrestler]

We are everywhere!! There were hardly any when I was growing up, really I was a rarity!! Nowadays, well two out of my three children are ginger. Even Royalty has a ginger now!! Loads of ginger kids on Butlins today when I visited.

I live in Somerset. Most people are over it here, well just about!!

Been on Butlins today and loads of the kids there were ginger. Lovely to see!!

Just had a ginger baby!

I have noticed that there are more boy ginga ninjas in school than there ever was before, but there is only one girl.

Oh, and all the boys have glasses. Is there a correlation between ginger and glasses? My DS is a gorgeous shade of pale ginger and he has bad sight too.

YANBU!

DP and I both come from a family of redheads. DP is a strawberry blonde ginger and I'm a more deep mahogany red. We're breeding more ttc .

I've never been teased and neither has DP. We've lived in both England and Scotland. I saw a young girl today, beautiful curly red hair, she looked into Waterstones window, saw the Brave display, flicked her hair, smiled and walked off. Made me .

I don't know about any links but I think a boywith red hair and glasses is just about as cute as it gets!

There are loAds of ginger kids! Dunno if I notice specially cos my dd is but we meet loads of fellow mini redheads. We even know a little Pakistani boy with ginger hair & freckles, he is utterly gorgeous :)

Well I have got a ginger dog and everyone says what a gorgeous colour she is.
And I spend a fortune dying my hair auburn :)

DD is ginger and has glasses. There are four others in her class - its an invasion !

Hell yes, one has just won an Olympic Gold.

Greg Rutherford just took gold for team GB. Redheads got it going on! Ds is glorious russet! Love love love red hair! I also pay a fortune to 'ahem' maintain my colour.

Fivegomad - you beat me to it. Well done long jumper from Milton Keynes!

I am so upset that neither of my two have got my hair colour, DD is brown but has some lovely auburn streaks in her hair and DS is blonde.

I come from an Irish family where ginger is the norm

There are some shades I quite like but really not the 'flaming orange' shade.

Hurrah for gingers/ redheads!! DH and I are both ginger - fingers crossed for our future LO! (In the USA, where I'm from, red hair is considered beautiful... go figure.)

Ed Clancy - also ginger - also Olympic Gold medallist

Bogey a girl I knew at Uni doing a genetics PhD once told me that red hair, short sight, eczema, asthma and hayfever are all on the same gene, and if you have one, you're likely to have at least 2 or 3 of the others.

My dad was a redhead. None of his DC or DGC. I was v dissapointed when I had two blond babies.

Say it loud, Ginger and Proud!!!

I'm not ginger but my moggy is and I luffs him!

I was v dissapointed when I had two blond babies

Seriously?

That's such a shame. We are so much more than our hair colour.

Lucy Hall - olympic triathlete. Red hair and gorgeous.

IMHO Tim Minchin 'Prejudice' should be required viewing for ginga ninjas - worth a look on YouTube if you haven't already seen it...

Oh I am a shortsighted redhead, none of the others.

THats interesting, I did wonder as there does seem to be a high proportion of glasses wearers with ginger hair at his school.

I have made my profile public for an hour if anyone wants to see my ginga ninja! It isnt the best pic I have of him, but couldnt face trawling through the hundreds of pics on the pc :o

I love red hair, my best friend at primary school had a red afro and I was totally jealous. My hair was lank and mousy and hers was just stunning - caaah!
