Nudge nudge wink wink. Say no MORE!

> My last boyfriend told me he liked Dwarf at first, but when he was getting bored of me and flirting with another girl in front of me who hated it, he said ?yeah, I think it?s shit!? so that was that! Bastard.

Double reason to punch the fucker out.

When I was pissed at a networking event, I was asking my rep at the Times if he liked Red Dwarf and said I would only do business with him if he did. He began throwing quotes at me so I’m pleased that he was a bona fide fan and not just after my budget

[redhead85]

Congrats on the new job Carl! What are you gonna be doing?

[redhead85]

> I?ve a few friends who run their own small businesses, and I wouldn?t thank you for it.
Of course there are those who make it big, but most small businessess involve working 24/7, few holidays, no sick pay, and a shed load of stress.

I worked at a small company (just three of us) for 18 months running a section of the business and I was very miserable.

So I utilised connections I’d built up with clients (in the mafia) and moved into an ad agency in media planning and buying – an area where it’s more about who you know not what you know in order to get in.

> Use your degree to good use like everyone else this year and become a well-read shelf stacker.

Well it’s something I can always fall back on.

I really didn’t like the ending to ‘Mostly Harmless’ – in fact the whole book felt a bit too disjointed. I LOVED the first two though – fantastic.

[redhead85]

I tried to think of a comment that would drag the direction of this thread out of the gutter and suffered Epic Fail Syndrome…

[redhead85]

And we were working as Recruitment Consultants!! Ultimate fucking irony. I was livid.

Yes, his ass would have been entirely liable. ^__^

“What do you do with a BA in English? What is my life going to be? Four years of college, and plenty of knowledge, have earned me this useless degree…”

I got my BA in English 3 years ago and am junior to people in my office who barely scraped together GCSEs but they’ve got so much knowledge, common sense and graft to them I can accept that.

(Apart from when they think that manga is a type of weed.)

But I worked my arse off to get this job in Advertising Land and I wouldn’t give it up right now for anything else.

I had a manager once who categorically told me that if I left to have a baby they couldn’t pay me maternity leave and that it would end the business. Unsurprisingly I quit that job.

[redhead85]

Ohhh missed out on the hair-stroking action – glad you ladies had a good time.

Hey Gwynnie – gorgeous profile pic

[redhead85]

I love the Toy Story series – Pixar films are fantastic!

[redhead85]

SIX NEW EPISODES AT THE END OF NEXT YEAR! WOOT!
Nice one guys – thanks for the update x

[redhead85]

Did you go and see his stand up? He avoided London – we were most offended

[redhead85]

Ooooh wine country! Gorgeous ^__^ I’m going to visit my brother who lives in New Zealand nowadays (in Wellington) in March/April – may be stopping off in Sydney on the way. Will be my first time visiting your side of the world!

[redhead85]

I know you’re in Australia my dear :-) Which part? I have family in Brisbane.

Jo said she’d drop me a text if she had time but I doubt it’s likely – she’ll be far too busy being fabulous and sorting everyone out! ;-)

[redhead85]

Indian veggie food is just as yummy as meaty. Can’t wait!

I’m glad they’re doing well – looking forward to any updates

[redhead85]

I’m at home too wondering how it’s all going. ^__^ We’re out for a curry tonight (veggie though – it’s a Hindu holy day so we’ll be breaking our fast) and then back home for a Red Dwarf evening’s viewing. Hurrah!

[redhead85]

First one….then t’other…

[redhead85]

Nudge Nudge Wink Wink
Dinsdale
Spanish Inquisition
Ministry of Silly Walks
Dead Parrot Sketch
How to Identify Trees from a Medium Distance

….

[redhead85]

Yep I definitely think this is revenge for men everywhere having to suffer in Tennant’s shadow. I reckon I could take her though – she looks skinny enough….

[redhead85]

Oh.dear.lordy.

Just read out your comments to my husband and he added “well she is a nice bit of ginger biscuit, isn’t she?”

[redhead85]

When You’re Gone. Hopefully soon.

[redhead85]

It’s a bird, innit? It’s a bloody sea bird, it hasn’t got a bloody flavour…

[redhead85]

> Because after you?ve died and regenerated, you?ve just gotta have a Cornetto.

Cornettos rock. You see Ed eating one in ‘Shaun of the Dead’ just after they’ve bludgeoned the zombies in their garden to death. Yum.

>Arguably the greatest British sitcom of all time

>He says on a fansite of a British sitcom

Thin ice, my friend, thin ice

Apparantly Nicholas Lyndhurst will play Rodney’s father

[redhead85]

ALBATROSS!

[redhead85]

Oh yeaaaaaaahhhh. Bloody hell, it’s been ages since I watched my Spaced DVDs…

[redhead85]

Erm…what other Matrix spoof was there? I thought the guys were indeed referring to the lobby scene (I love that one)

[redhead85]

I LOVED the Matrix homage!!!

“The first rule of Robot Club is ‘you can’t talk about Robot Club’. The second rule of Robot Club is ‘you can’t talk about…’ oh sorry, no, it’s ‘No Smoking’.”

“Oh my god…I’ve got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket. Ayyyy! Hey Mummy…Hey Daddy…Let’s all play Kabbaddi.”

> For those who have attended DJ before: Do Not Try to Remember The Task?

I still see my therapist about the flashbacks…

[redhead85]

Or he’s lying through his teeth. You know, either way. Inflatable women don’t count you know Ben…

[redhead85]

*hides shoulders*

[redhead85]

I think my brain just melted…

[redhead85]

Tanya are you a redhead too? Man, are we just a board of gingers? ^__^

[redhead85]

> Given the nerdy nature of this corner of the internet, I think it?s sage to assume that most of us were bullied.

Haha yeah probably very true.

> I?m not even ginger (I wish I was).

Meh. We always covet what we don’t have I suppose!

By the way Jo, speaking of coveting something I don’t have, I went to buy the RD thong today and it’s ?4 for posting (when the garment itself is ?8.50 that is a bit ouch, hehe). Maybe I’ll have to wait for a richer payday next month!

[redhead85]

> (I bet those of you who were ginger didn?t have a fraction of the trouble once you left school, right? And if you did it was kids yelling.)

Indeed, I was bullied terribly as a kid and it made me very shy, but since college I haven’t had any trouble at all. In fact, now that I’ve joined the world of work where networking etc is essential, I’ve had to come out of my shell. I’ve found that men in particular seem to think (and this is direcly quotable) that because I have red hair I must be either better in bed or more up for affairs(?!)

Client: “Your hair is gorgeous. I love red hair, it’s very pretty”
Me: “Thank you”
Client: “I once had a 3 month affair with a redhead”
Me: “….”

> I was actually turned down for a job at one point because of my hair and the guy even made a fairly tasteless ?gingernuts? joke during the interview.

That’s shit, sorry to hear that. My old boss admitted that he hired me *because* I was a redhead. I think women find it easier than men. Both of my brothers are redheads, but the older one wears it really well and got approached on Oxford Street by a model scout. Lucky sod.

[redhead85]

> my bestest buddy is a leprechaun

Are you always after her Lucky Charms?

[redhead85]

Never laugh at a woman…dangerous hehe. But I know where she’s coming from. As you know, me and my husband were friends so he knew I had red hair, but just before DJ2002 I dyed it dark brown so I would ‘fit in’. So naive… Anywho, that’s the week we got together, and he admitted he much preferred me with red hair! D’oh!

[redhead85]

> Hey, the word ?ginger? is a complement in our household

Sorry, got bullied about it for so many years so my first instinct is to fryyyyyy ^__^

> there?s no hope for me?

Apart from the fact you’re with a gorgeous fiery redhead! Woot!

[redhead85]

> Btw, gorgeous much in the wedding dress. Holy heckfire!

Hasty edit! ^__^ See now for that lovely comment, you’re forgiven. I won’t fry you.

[redhead85]

> You have ginger eyes!

Piss off or I’ll frag you with my hex-vision :-P I have hazel eyes thank you much :-)

These were the days of the over-flash of cheap disposable cameras from Boots…

[redhead85]

That article did make me giggle, Andrew, I must admit.

> Awwww, how cute! But you do look waaaay too young there ;-)

Sorry about that *hangs head in shame*

[redhead85]

Nice one! How did they refer to you?

[redhead85]

Oops I thought grits was another word for tater tots…

[redhead85]

Well you look fabulous at any rate :-) I would take that as a genuine compliment!

[redhead85]

That’s very kind of you, but I really don’t like looking at old pics of myself ^__^ but the penguin is very pweedy…

[redhead85]

> ?and he is.

Told you :-P I was most chuffed, thank you!

> Now then, since I took that picture the copyright is technically mine. Cough up. :-)

Have a cookie.

[redhead85]

Ouch, yeah I know :-S I was 17 in that picture. I’m almost 25 now! My avatar pic was taken a couple of months ago.

But difference being, the older picture was supposedly of *the* Mr Flibble if Mr Ellard is to be believed…

[redhead85]

Bloody hell, I look awful but here goes. Me and Mr Flibble at DJ 2002. I think I must have the holovirus judging by those red eyes!!

[redhead85]

Secret code again I see…. Ahh I’d spend some time with you andrew

[redhead85]

Really?! You do remember? I’d be really touched if you did. I know that you must get through so many women but still… ;-)
