A warning from the GFJ
well what a topic to welcome me back with!!!
I am a founder member and leader of the para-military wing of the Gingers For Justice League! We are a small but ever increasing band of renegade red heads out for fair treatment for all our brothers and sisters. Why was it always Ginger that bought it in war films eh? or Rusty that gets ruthlessly butchered by the Japaneese guards? Our last planned march through London had to be postponed due to the appearance of the sun and a shortage of factor 600 sun block but watch this space!
You think it's easy growing up with old people asking "oh, did your mum leave you out in the rain?" or being the only ginger kid in the family "you must be the milkmans.." or in your teens when people think it's hysterical to ask if your pubes look like 13amp fuse wire?
Oh don't get me started on the blushing, I spent my entire teens bearing a more than a passing resembalance to a Belisha Beacon!!!
Try going to the middle east, frick me I got a lot of attention, but from MEN!!!! The other lads in my company would offer to sell my arse for "many, many camels - good boy, red hairs, very clean...." Bastards. Same thing in Afghan, the locals make no bones about pointing and making hideously suggestive remarks!
However if you want to be ruthlessly persued in a good way then go to the far east. I was in Japan for a wedding and the combination of being over six foot tall, wearing a kilt and ginger was a leathal combo for the ladies! Apparently they can't get enough, even the old dears were lifting up the tartan for a butchers "oooooh, red hair, red hair - verrry nice!" and introducing me to their daughters/ granddaughters.
Happy days.
BTW it's good to be back!
