    So I popped into a lardydar central London hairdressers yesterday as I was desperate for a haircut.

    My clippers have been broken for a few weeks and despite the menu price being £28.00 I thought "f&uk it, it really needs cutting"

    A great cup of coffee and the guy sits me down and asks what I want, No 1 all over, ears, nose and eyebrows the usual stuff.

    He reaches into his draw whilst chatting to another customer and then starts cutting.........then he looks at me with a look of horror on his face and tells me he got distracted by the other customer and forgot to put on the No1 clipper guard. I started to laugh whilst he try's to apologise profusely, which when done in the manner of Larry Grayson was historical and made me laugh all the more.

    I told him not to worry and he better just carry on thinking there cant be THAT much difference between No1 and nothing after all its only a few mm.

    Jesus was I wrong. I look like an ugly Ul Brynner.

    So I got the haircut for free and a certificate for another free hair cut in the future was a promise not screw it up next time.

    Now whilst I am not all that bothered, and after all, within a few days it will grow back, L's take in it was some what more dramatic than Larry Grayson's. "What the f&ck have you done, have you lost your mind as well as your f&ucking hair, you idiot" was the most polite observation. I expect she will have claimed by the weekend when I get back down by the time my work trip. In the meantime I will looking into buying a hat at Terminal 5 a little later today.

    Just tell her it's the summer cut and it makes charging the batteries of the sex machine much quicker when the solar panel is fluff free :p

    £28 f**k that you could have bought some clippers for less and binned them!

    Wife does mine for me and refuses to do it without the guard as she says it makes me look thuggish lol. Mind you the day she cut my hair whilst drinking a glass wine turned in to a number zero day when she forgot to put the guide back on after oiling the clippers :D
