Ginger connections and the continuation of the species

As I left work yesterday teetering from the hospital carpark on my bicycle I heard a male voice shout "Alright Ginge!". I turned round, ready to scowl at the Chav idiot who had obviously thought it appropriate to yell such an ignorant pointless thing, as I always do when this happens (and it happens rather more than I care to remember) and was surprised to see an orange-topped bloke grinning at me. So I smiled in a warm sisterly way and went on my merry way. It somehow felt like a ginger connection rather than the usual feeling of mild racism.
Sarah my doppelganger at work and I have been talking about the fact that I now need to make it my mission to carry on the ginger gene and find myself a redheaded man next, or at least a mousy blond with ginger trimmings, so I can have ginger children in the future. Sadie is wonderful and everything but she is more Med than red if you see what I mean. Dark genes win the war every time unfortunately and I need to do my bit for my super race.

but don't you think there's something incestuous about shagging a redhead...?

Bloody hell! Nothing for ages and then you go all ninja- blogger on us! Thank God!

Sorry you're not feeling well - GPs are the pits when it comes to what ails you unless it's got boils on it or you're turning inside out. The big difference is a homeopath will talk to you and listen - it makes a big difference!

Despite not having (naturally) red hair I managed to pop out a redhead. Don't discount recessive genes!

Red - you are probably right about it being a bit incestuous. This could explain why, despite my love of all things ginger related (well after years of bullying I have to go too far the other way), I don't really find red headed men attractive. I tend to go for dark, Italian looking men, so there is no hope for the continuation of the species. Nature is trying to kill us off! X

JaneyV - oh how cute that you have had a ginge- there is hope after all! X
