Well, I've finally gotten the wild and bushy hair cut.
Wandering into the shop, I realise that all of the barbers have the same haircut. And each of the three people in the barbers' chairs are slowly having their hair transformed into this same cut.
I suppressed the urge to run. I had promised Allie I would get it cut.
When the guy was explaining it to me, he told of the two styles - spiky or brushed back. I said, "Well I just kind of let it curl," which was met with a blank look.
I now look so upstanding and youthful with my shockingly short and combed-back-and-gelled haircut that I feel I am only just escaping from being press-ganged into standing on street corners with a black name badge that says 'Elder Stuart' whilst politely harassing passersby with the good news about Jesus.
I look too clean-cut, too...suave. I feel uncomfortable.
I feel that there is some serious work to be done; not shaving all weekend, using whisky instead of aftershave, and neglecting to iron my clothes. Maybe then I'll be back to the lovable scruffball that is my usual image.

New Addition
One of my friends at work has left to go to more fiscally appreciative climes, and has left me his PC-top bonsai to remember him by.
I shall call her Cecily.
Ooops! And there goes the 5000th visitor.
Have a good weekend, people, and to those who've already started their holidays....I hate you. But in a general, wishy washy, impersonal way.
So don't take it to heart.


i hate you because you will be playing pool with my lovies in the short span of three days. but just because i now officially hate you for this does not mean i won't be shouting hellos down the telephone line when they invariably call me from some loud pub.
just letting you know.
Lovely bonsai, I hope you're green fingered. My colleagues no longer trust me with their plants as I seem to be a jinx.
I'm on leave now, until Jan 5th. Hurrah.
I wanna see. I wanna see!
Well, just kind of take the picture in the top bar, keep my head the same size and shrink the hair by a factor of about 3.
That should do it.
Oh, and I mean in your imagination.
Not photoshop.
