[richard p]

looks like my last post is an hour out, its only 22.53 now, but thats something to do with not delving into something when the clocks changed, which will eventually right itself.

Morning Catherine, are you back in the same time zone as us now.

[Chantal]

I sometimes wish I wasn't

[Catherine]

Morning again OH Not sure what time zone I am in this morning have been up since 6am. Just getting ready to go walking in the Dales but its is looking like it is going to start snowing again. Can someone to tell me how to put my clock right on the posting as this post shows 10.15

[Chantal]

Catherine, go into your Profile (on menu - top left) and slide down to the bottom of the page. You'll see Time Zone and change it to GMT. In the Spring, change it to GMT+1 and so on.

[Catherine]

Thanks Chantal done and dusted.

[richard p]

and remember to do it again when the clocks change in the spring, mine will be right again then aswell

As for blue rinses Herbie................it depends what colour comes outta the bottle.

I think this next one is chestnut.........although, the way my luck has been going, it could turn out green

My daughters friend, Gracie, had a beautiful shade of blue on her hair............and she's just 16

This is a pet gripe of mine after about 35 years of trying to get a decent haircut. It only happened once, and the stylist was not able to reproduce it again.

The last time I did this (some years ago) I booked the most senior (and expensive of course) stylist, dressed in a way that expressed my personality (no, OH, I don't mean dishevelled...) and took in pictures of styles I like. I explained at length what I wanted and what I didn't want. At the end of the session (including the usual inane chat about holidays, was I going out that night etc etc) the stylist finished by informing me she was not going to blow dry my hair 'properly' as it was raining outside and it would get wet. So she dried it completely flat with one ducks arse curl over my left ear, and charged me a very large sum of money. I was (unusually) completely speechless because I was so angry. I paid and left, swearing I would never get my hair (or myself!)'done' again.
And I never have really. I now wear my hair long enough to tie up and when it gets too long I have some chopped off. And some highlights sometimes. Its all a big rip off. Thank you for reading this, I feel much better now....
And breathe.....

This bald guy went to the hairdressers with three unruly hairs sprouting out of the top of his head he thought he would try and do something with it.

He sat down and a slightly puzzled stylist, said 'Now sir what are you having today'. The man said ' wash it dry it and style it with one to the front one to each side, a little lacquer and that will do'

During the washing process one hair came astray and the distressed stylist informed him so. The man said, 'err well leave one to each side, a little lacquer and then that will do'.

Guess what, the penultimate hair fell out and floated to the floor, leaving the stylist once gain to apologise, the man now having only one solitary hair in place

After a brief pause and furrowing of the brow, the man said: Oh bugger it, leave it casual then!!

It's a bad joke I know but it is clean!!

grrrrr, I hate hairdresser too, I have very long almost straight hair. I no longer go to the salon. I cut my fringe, my mum cuts the back, and my sister does a semi colour for me from time to time, at the moment it is plum. Hairdressers never listen to you, comb through very harshly pulling half your hair out, then after they attack it with scissors, they fry it with the dryer to within an inch of it's life, its a wonder anyone still actually has any hair left at all.

and exhale......

Personally I am bald as a coot and a grade one which I can do myself with my beard trimmer is good enough but do consider the following statements.

'God made some perfect heads...and on the other's - he put hair'

'It is not just a bald patch, but a solar panel for a sex machine'

Food for thought?

One of my brothers says he's not going bald......his ears have dropped

I've just stopped colouring my hair after about 30 years. I had very straight dark auburn hair, but started going grey quite early.

It took a few months of having it cut very short to get rid of the colour, but it is quite liberating to just be me. It is a dark silvery grey, which was a surprise as I was expecting it to be white and fluffy like my grandma's.

I thought as I had reached pension age it was as good a time as any to stop spending money on artificial colours. I've not gone for the blue rinse though.

Thinking about hairdressers, my dad always had a short back and sides, but went every month even though it didn't need cutting, as he liked to catch up on all the gossip. She had an old blokes only session on Tuesday mornings so he could see all his pals.

He was also very pleased at 83, when he had been on steroids and grew a nice fine crew cut on his bald bit.
