Didn't we already have this thread? Anyhow, most of the forums already think I'm nuts. Might as well look the part.

hello, folks.




I have much more gray, now

That's an epic beard, man. I've tried to grow my beard long but anytime it gets longer than an inch it feels like I'm rubbing my face on carpet. Welcome to the red haired goon club. Seriously, it's always great to see new faces. I would post more pics but my phone is busted so I can only make grainy images with my laptop.

This heatwave is going to be the death of me. I heard a lot of thunder today but we still got no rain. There is a hosepipe ban in effect now. I don't think it's rained in almost two weeks and that's crazy where I'm from. We're supposed to have the same climate as Seattle.


My hair feels like greased rope (google it). I had a vivid dream a few nights ago in which I had short hair again. It was a truly liberating experience.

Ancient farmhouse that my great uncle lived in. Fell into disrepair, got fixed up with a zinc roof and steel door. It's where we keep things like left over fencing, chicken feeders, cow trough etc.

Bad news about that, it was 46C here last month.

Seattle just had a 100+ degree heat wave, sooooooo....

One of my primary school teachers used to talk about the heatwave of '76. He talked about the ground drying out and cracking as if it wasn't something that I would soon see regularly growing up. The next one was in '95 and it was making headlines and was all anyone could talk about. This one is the hottest on record - even though it's admittedly only 33'C.

My dad talks about seeing icicles hanging three feet long in his youth. As a teenager i remember seeing icicles several inches long and thinking they were some kind of novelty.

Several years ago a banana tree in Belfasts botanical gardens bore fruit.

Global warming is loving real and nobody can tell me any different.

I love every drat one of you. I would post a pic but I've only managed 2-3 hours of sleep for the last fortnight. Giving up smoking and weed is proving more difficult than getting off drink. I know from experience that I should stay away from the forums when I'm agitated like this. See you all in another month.

Before anyone asks, I'm in my mid 50's.

Looking like a no-nonsense news presenter getting ready to tear some dumbass politician a new rear end in a top hat.

Or maybe an actual professional who knows what he is doing getting ready to tear a dumbass news interviewer a new rear end in a top hat?

My favorite photo of me doesn't even feature my face, but that can't be helped. It tells you more about me than any other picture I have possibly could.

It's me getting a stick-n-poke tattoo from a friend I'd just met on a Manhattan park bench. I gave this individual free reign to decide what I was getting, and I ended up with an alchemy symbol from a Vollmann novel signifying urine. When I meet someone from the internet, they often get to do this, and I have yet to experience infection or contract anything from it.

Is this from, like, the late nineties / early 2000s? I had basically the same hair style back then and at least one friend with that makeup.

5 years ago I shaved my head. That's from four years ago shortly after I turned 35. My midlife crisis was growing my hair long one last time before it might start to fall out. The make-up was done by MS-Paint, when I figured I looked a bit like a red haired Gene Simmons, it's why my tongue is hanging out.

I'm a little too paranoid to actually post a pic of myself ON THE INTERNET but as someone with graying temples at 36 I can tell you that it's actually pretty drat sweet. I look a bit like Mr. Fantastic...

I think my hair might fall out before it starts going gray. It happened to my dad, thick hair until he was around 40 - then his crown started to fall out. 15 years later he was a q-ball. And since everyone is now revealing their age... I turned 39 last month.
