Half a century ago K&C and I shared accommodation and I clearly recall that he doesn't have red hair. I wanted to clarify this matter on his behalf because people may assume that he might have red hair due to his spirited defence of those afflicted in this way.What does that have to do with anything, exactly?

Re: The Harry and Megan show
Thank you for your moral support here. And your memory has not failed you either. I recall only one member of our decidedly large entry who did...one Pete P. who came from Stoke-on-Trent or thereabouts.....I think ?om15 wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 8:27 pmHalf a century ago K&C and I shared accommodation and I clearly recall that he doesn't have red hair.

K and Chips on both shoulders :
"First, thank you for the introductory oxymoron ( see underlined ) evidenced further by you not being aware of Baker."
I take it therefore that your criteria for judging a person's intellect are based on whether or not they have heard of a third rate 'personality' masquerading as a comedian.
You have, I haven't. Go back to the lathe-greaser's club and stay there.

Nope, it's far more expansive than that albeit in this case applicable because he's been around for quite a few years. Also a Labour activist and supporter of Corbyn, plus being against Brexit.......as he was elevated in your esteem yesterday, this may now induce a fit of the vapours and a need to reach for the smelling salts should you be overcome with shock.Capetonian wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 7:10 amK and Chips on both shoulders :

PS last time one touched a lathe was with om15 when we spent 2, or 3, weeks playing with such to fulfil a union requirement, also holding hands and getting electric shocks, before moving on to nailing rivets into Javelin wings..... with holes in.

Be careful when making jokes about red hair. Remember that it was associated with witchcraft in the middle ages and you might find yourself turned into a frog.

Re: The Harry and Megan show
I am distressed to the point of tears by these remarks about people with red hair.
Re: The Harry and Megan show
My mother had red hair.
I have never entertained a girlfriend with red hair - some kind of psychological block maybe?

Re: The Harry and Megan show
As a youngster I had bright red ginger hair, and suffered for it. "Ginger, you're barmy....." etc. Add to that gig-lamps and I was mocked repeatedly. At 17 or 18 my hair suddenly turned brown and nobody cared who wore spectacles and that was and end of it.

Because to be treated with disdain, pity, turned into a meme, is horrible.

Damn right. When I was at school, some unfortunate girl was suspected being a gypsy. Everybody pretended to inject themselves, in order to be vaccinated as she was so repulsive.
