Rain

Is the severity of the red mist linked to the amount of Gingerness in
place at any one time. Do the sandy haired ones just have a little
stomp? Or does the overall quantity have an effect? Did you notice a
decrease in red mist once the Ginger load was lightened?

What we need is someone with a Ginger beard so we can measure the
level of anger in various situations (a lab with stupid people may be
needed for this) then shave it off and retest.

 

I`m staying out of this one for the time being.
In the event of an all-out Ginger attack the best a fat bloke like me could
probably do is run around for 50 yards and sweat at them, shortly before
gasping wheezily about "tight chest" and "pain in left arm"

 

You just want to see how far I can taunt the Gingers before they snap
don't you?

I'm safe for now as the two beard possessing Gingers are away from the
computer.

So all I have to do is get in front of you, once the red mist descends
they'll just rend the first victim they come across.

 

Heh. I have Ginger friends. I know only too well. Luckily, they know me, and
I have escaped with no physical injuries as yet.

Good call. I`ll play the banjo to accompany the rending.

Would you like "Hitting the High Spots Now", "The Emperor of Lancashire" or
"Oh! Don`t the Wind Blow Cold"?

 

It did, but at that point there was nowhere to do so safely.

 

Under the right circumstances, which it was not.

 

Are you sure?

 

Not as sure as I was. Has the other one got to you yet? And if you
count a goatee as a beard there's a third with very damp underwear
around as well.

 

It's more related to how long it took for the fuse to go off IME.

 

I'm clean shaven again, and I'm now wearing dry grunners having returned
from the worst of the thunder storm.

There is no safe distance if you have caused it, our ire is great and
our range is long

I think that it's inversely proportional. People see the Gingerness and
expect some volatility and make some allowance. When the Gingerness is
lurking beneath the surface, like, oh I dunno, an ill prepared coffee
maker, they don't expect it and so blithely act like fuckwits. When the
Gingerness makes it's appearance in action, rather than wavelength, it's
all the more spectacular.

We have a slight problem with this. These stupid people would not be
available for the retest, you see. They would be quite, quite dead.
They're *very* close at the moment.

Does pointing a scalpel at someone and telling them "if you don't ****
off and leave me alone, I will remove your bollocks." count as an
expression of anger, or a little strop? I think a strop, if it was anger
then the testicles would probably have been removed without warning.

Anyway, you could test full beard, goatee and mustache and grade the
responses accordingly.

Ginger is not a hair colour - it's a way of life.

 

No need. Didn't you notice how mellow and disoriented Pip was after getting
shaved at the BOSM? Rubbing his head and face and going "Ooh. Ooh."

Sure it wasn't "Ook. Ook."?

I always wondered why he's always surrounded by books

I've had my suspicions.

Just make sure no one uses the 'M' word.

 

Could well have been.

 

They follow him around, because they think he's their god.

 

Quite so - wouldn't want to monkey around with a Ginge.

 

Hehe..my favourite bit of that book.

Oh ****!
