    Pretty handy with the clippers myself. Been cutting both boys hair for the past year, one short the other long hair and have cut my own hair since the age of 21.

    Stevo, OH has just found out it will be another 8 wks before she can have hers cut. She will be suicidal by then. She won't let me near her with the clippers, I wonder why ever not. :D

    Oxo, my two just let theirs grow and end up looking like Rapunzel. Just as well, as not sure I would find Strifey very attractive if she started rocking the 'Sigourney Weaver in Alien 3' look :)

    I have noticed quite a few of my female colleagues becoming a bit more camera shy on teams calls latelythough...this could be the reason.

    Its not too tricky apart from the bits at the back so will need some help from Stressbag. She isn't very good...

    Not many girls can pull off the Sigourney aliens 3 look.

    Sigourney Galaxy Quest is my favourite

    What SG failed to mention was he only got the donuts at. the end of the day when stale. I remember going to repair stuff at local bakers when a young apprentice, I used to walk out with just filled warm donuts, yummy.

    no way, i got them fresh and early, life is too short for stale doughnuts

    some nights i strolled by the baker's about 4-ish, they'd have the doors open to let out the heat, i'd nip in and get a fresh crusty loaf from the cooling rack

    noticed a rather fine pineapple-motif hawaiian shirt on mr porter, it's now mine, roll on summer

    I don't think they like it when you record it and save it for later.

    been cutting my own for probs 25 years as well.

    tbh, with a guard on, you can't go too wrong - just keep on going til no more comes off


    if you hash it it'll grow back in a week anyway.

    I thought a T-1000 could take any form it wanted to...?

    So much standing water around. Went for the non-runner's brisk footfall this pm, several stretches of the route had to be waded. In trainers. Have a ride planned for tomorrow with #1 daughter, got postponed last weekend coz of da white stuff, now forecasting sub zero overnight. Mucho gloop and ice, 🤔

    Only things I sample by physical contact. So these days it's the wife, the fridge and some furniture. Not a great choice.

    I went for a 1/2 (1.5mm) all over when I did it back in May. Problem is when it all grows back the same length it looks daft. So tried to be clever and do different lengths. Just about worked...

    Cue ball here. When I do my face I do my head.
    Why are blokes so self conscious about their hair? Nobody gives a flying one about your hair.
    Typical conversation

    "Ey up Stevo, had your hair cut?
    "Yeah"
    "Need to get mine done, I suppose. My round, same again?"*

    Moves on to talk about something else.

    You could just stick on a newcastle footy shirt, pretend you don't speak English and gesture at a barber until he gives you a top notch trim.
