Just dropped my dog off to be clipped, he had started to look like a sheep. The guy who grooms him was sporting a very neat haircut, and of course I had to ask, and yes, he'd done his own hair with his dog grooming clippers. I mean, d'you think I should, maybe, ask if...I mean, well, y'know, might be worth a try... 🤔 Yes. Don't know abut anyone else, but I'm starting to look like St Peter preaching the Epistles to the Apostles. Name that film.... |

Actually, I decided not to ask when I went to collect the dog just now. Thirty flipping quid to clip the ruddy dog!
I don't normally get involved in such matters but being furluffed I need things to do.
I can normally get three haircuts for thirty bloody quid.
Sheesh, thirty chuffing quid...
😕

All their beers are brilliant. Order a discovery/variety box, it includes an Ola Dubh. Even the alcohol free beer is lovely.

Anyone near me can borrow the hair clippers I got when they were like rocking horse droppings to get. I have had mine trimmed twice now and I've not got a lot to be honest.
Last week the place I normally go to texted to say opening soon but appointments only. Don't know what to reply if at all. My wife will say she's doing an okay job although the neckline probably could do with a tidy.... so I might go once in a while. But appointments in the week are the other issue - I normally go during the day and fit around work. I couldn't know what meetings/calls I have a week from now.

Got a similar message from mine. Apparently they’ll be making appointments from Monday and open for business the Monday after. You can bet that the Henley ladies who make up most of the clientele will have found ways to circumvent that already, but fortunately Prison Haircut 2.0 is holding up reasonably well, so I can afford a couple of weeks to let the rush die down.
I usually do what Rob does anyway and fit work around an appointment. With a couple of weeks’ planning I can get one first thing and stick it in my work diary under the code V (for Veronika, who’s the reason I go there; she makes a lovely cup of coffee) to forestall any attempts at scheduling a call. There will, presumably, be fewer appointments to go round under the new regime, so I may have to be more ingenious.

...well, he has to go in drag, and run the gauntlet of comments such as "you know your hair's thinning out quite rapidly as you age, Mrs Dubya - I'd sign up for HRT if I were you".  |
