Gingers.....

[ummmm]

Made me laugh......

Do you suspect someone of being a closet ginger? Perhaps you thought you saw some ginger roots, but aren't so sure. Maybe you've caught them tapping their feet to the raunchy sound of Simply Red? Encourage them to reveal their ginner nature by exposing them with these simple traps:

* Tell them they've got something in their eye. Use this as an excuse to check for red eyelashes and freckles.

* Propose that everyone in the office brings in a childhood photo. Do they claim to not have one? Perhaps they're hiding something.

* Suggest popping down to the park for a spot of lunchtime sunbathing. Are they suddenly busy? The evidence mounts...

* Use phrases like 'collar and cuffs' and 'fire down below' in conversation with them. Do they look uncomfortable?

* Find out if your victim covers up their freckles with foundation by making a surprise early morning visit to their house.

* Leave a high factor suncream lying round and see if they can resist digging into it.

* Keep a close watch on their hands. See any mysterious stains? It could mean they've been at the hair dye.

* If your victim is the same sex as you, suggest popping down the gym, do they avoid communal showers?

Can you really turn ginger from eating too many wotsits?

No, but it is possible that you could turn ginger if you ate no food at all. A rare condition called kwashiorkor turns dark hair ginger, occurs in cases of extreme malnutrition. But despite what you have heard, there's no evidence as yet linking the condition to Wotsits, Irn-Bru or Sunny Delight,

You can turn your sin orange from eating an abudance of carrots every day!!! (true) But I don't know whether this effects hair as well.

[LoftyLottie]

Pasta....in the book I have they have a guide that you compare to your hair. They have copper ginger as a colour. My OH is counted as 'proper ginger'

[mollykins]

I have a wierd hair colour. Its kind of auburn, it's blondy brown with a hint of bronzey gingeryness. Plus I have freckles. But I get a good sun tan without having to use really high sun cream factors.

[ummmm]

My oh's arms actually look brown but....if you look closely it's just a mixture of loads of freckles and ginger hairs :-)

[pastafreak]

I used to get called 'carrot top' and 'ketchup head'.......as I liked the boys that did it,I loved it....I also loved my hair.
