Why don't ginger people just dye their hair a normal colour?

Surely they should stop inflicting pain on the rest of us and go brunette or something?

(Don't take it too seriously; I'm in a mischievous mood!)

What do you expect from someone who's married to Thierry Henry

RedHead81 · 01/08/2008 16:03

Ahem!

God, I don't know, these celeb ex-wives, they think they can just say what they like and everyone will agree with them. Send 'em all to the guillotine, I say.

what, you're 81

You don't look it

QuintessentialShadows · 01/08/2008 16:06

Sob. I have had a dreadful week. I have misplaced my sense of humour.
But I do have some low fat low calorie icecream in the freezer.

And my oldest is at me about going fishing down the pier.

I dont want to.

He is blonde btw.

RedHead81 · 01/08/2008 16:07

lol - 81 indeed!

RedHead81 · 01/08/2008 16:09

Low fat low cal ice-cream - sounds... um... delicious

I have some full fat full cream version in my freezer - anyone care to join me? Will full fat ice cream win over regardless of my inflicting red hair on you all? Pleeeese I am desperate for a friend! lol

MrsThierryHenry · 01/08/2008 16:09

Quinty, I'd dye his hair ginger if I were you.

if you are ginger have you joined that social networking website especially for coppertops
www.redhedd.com/

MrsThierryHenry · 01/08/2008 16:10

I'll have your ice-cream, Readhead81, if you put a paper bag on your head .

Ain't funny. Your other thread had valid points, but this one?

RedHead81 · 01/08/2008 16:14

oh i dunno about that - in my own home???? maybe i will just join that website for ginger people! lol

Wahay - another ginger on here
Hello GingerNinja!

One this strikes me as a little odd about that ginger website - Chinese for marriage??? what's that about????!!!!!

QuintessentialShadows · 01/08/2008 16:15

I cant dye his hair ginger. My cousin would think he was copying her dd, with the most splendid copper coloured hair, milky white porcelain skin and her bright blue gorgeous eyes....

RedHead81 · 01/08/2008 16:17

QS - you must be talking about me! lol

lol

MrsThierryHenry · 01/08/2008 16:18

Gingerninja...nobody's trying to make any valid points here! Join the party! Have some ice-cream: we have both fat-free and full-fat on the menu!

Quinty...hmm...I see your predicament.

Could you perhaps bleach your cousin's dd's hair peroxide blonde first?

gingerninja · 01/08/2008 16:18

Redhead, I'm not true ginger, more ginger by proxy.

Seriously though lots of kids are bullied terribly about having red hair, can't we just lead by example ladies instead of breading another generation of thoughtless idiots.

gingerninja · 01/08/2008 16:19

MTH, your point surely was to do with your other thread, otherwise this one is outright offensive.

MrsThierryHenry · 01/08/2008 16:20

Oh God, can someone else please explain?

ThingOne · 01/08/2008 16:21

We can sense your hidden jealousy MrsTH. How is it to have ginger-envy? Does you face go read as you spy RedHead81, gingerninja and me strolling along the street with our beautiful hair glinting in he sunshine?

Dragonbutter · 01/08/2008 16:22

i think any minute now MrsTH outs herself as a redhead.
and then she'll presume we care

MrsThierryHenry · 01/08/2008 16:24

Dragon!!! Don't you go outing me, now!

Or I'll tell everyone you're a black-skinned, straight-haired, Asian woman wearing trousers and a ginger beard!!

fransmom · 01/08/2008 16:24

notice she hasn't posted pics of her own hair colour?

gingerninja · 01/08/2008 16:24

The way I saw it, You were talking about black people having straight hair, people jumped on you accusing you of being racist, discovered further along that you were in fact black and so use of language justified. Your point about the hair was overshadowed by the academic debate on whether people were racist for assuming you were white or whether you should have opened a thread with the language you did. Frankly I couldn't give a toss but I can safely assume from your other thread that you're not a ginger and therefore the point of this thread is to cause trouble and not to have a debate as you wanted previously about a subject you felt strongly about.

QuintessentialShadows · 01/08/2008 16:25

No actually she has green hair and read eyes. She is a dragon remember,
