Boyfriends

Post by Porty » 14 Apr 2008, 15:25

My mum had a close escape with Donald Forbes, she hung about in the same crowd as him in Granton and went to the flicks a couple of times with him. Eek!!

I kind of agree. Gingers are quite unnecessary. I wouldn't say I find them offensive though, apart from Mick Hucknell, of course.

Imagine having him as a boyfriend.

When I first saw the title of this thread I thought Porty was doing a Portillo on us.

She married a ginger. There's no accounting for taste.

I only recall Forbes because he escaped from prison, think it was in the 70's and he was involved in a high speed car chase on Princes Street. My mum was worried, rather irrationally, that he would come and look us up.

I quite like gingers. I like the way their hair goes really white when they get older, not that sort of salt and peppery way us blondes go.

Sorry, no offence meant. For what it's worth, I've always wanted to have red hair, but I just got the red temperament instead.

Facetious Porty!
No my eldest and youngest are natural red heads.
The eldest dyes her hair frequently, pink, blonde, bright red, black.
She did accidently become flame haired again during one of the changes :shock:

Was being a bit sensitive yesterday, had some bad news( about someone who used to have red hair as well )

I know there are groups of youths who will attack anyone they deem different, wrong trainers, specs, hair colour, accent, beliefs, wearing dark clothes etc etc etc
