    Here's me a year ago:
    No need for that sign on the table now is there. Maybe people should print that off, cut round it Blue Peter style and create a lapel rosette with you featured in the middle as a sign of looking for you :P

    Are Aspies allowed to have a sense of humour? Maybe you've been misdiagnosed?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    ginger, ginger, you are all ginger!

    I was hoping Isaac would be - OH's mother and brother were / are respectively flame-haired, and my Dad has major ginger-genes too. But it was not to be.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    My Dad's advice. You spend 2 years teaching them to talk and walk, and the next 16 trying to get them to sit down and shut up.

    We are. Mrs Generali is still livid with a young lady who stopped writing to me when she found I was ginger haired when I was 14 y/o.

    Apparently the tradition in Southern Italy is that Judas was Ginger.

    The Northern French reckon that Ginger people smell funny.

    A good mate has a favoured expression, "Beaten like a ginger stepchild".

    I would prefer my kids not to have red hair. It makes childhood harder and i would like them to have a wonderful life, as much as is possible.
