Half an inch, if that.

[metrocentric]

My hair has never been as short as it is today. Never. In my whole life. I was born with hair.

ha! i have so much to say on the topic.

[metrocentric.livejournal.com]

And yet, you do not. Elaborate, if you please.

[dulcineja.livejournal.com]

i meant about the text, of course. should i continue?

[metrocentric.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Proceed.

now the momentum is gone and it's no longer fun, but still:
the half an inch must surely be a sign of a midlife crisis!

[metrocentric.livejournal.com]

No, the midlife crisis begins when I start dyeing my hair! And when that happens I shall ensure you are among the first to know.

[dulcineja.livejournal.com]

nooooooooooooooo! i don't want to be among the first, i want to be THE first! (okay, second after the hairdresser)

[metrocentric.livejournal.com]

Hairdresser? What kind of midlife crisis is this? Sod that, I'm doing it in the bathroom sink with a treatment of Clairol Raven Black from Boots. After all, I'm going to be spending the rest of my money on having my teeth whitened.

[dulcineja.livejournal.com]

and by 'teeth' you mean 'dentures', right?

I can't leave it that long until my MLC - where's the inspiration to vanity and folly for a man if he can no longer get it up? By the time I'm on the false teeth I'll be back at home with the architectural journals and cocoa rather than out in nightclubs making an arse of myself with contemptuously amused 19 year old Hungarian girls. There are seven ages of man and that's the wrong one!

I don't know why this picture reminds me of holidays in Wales as a child.

Do they have Norwegian Barbers in Rhyl, etc? Jonesson the Scissors? Now there's ethnic for you.

[perpetuallydry.livejournal.com]

What does that word mean?

[metrocentric.livejournal.com]

Barber/Hairdresser in Norwegian (or Danish or Swedish, though the Swedes put horns atop their 'o' and dispense with the stripe).

How many languages can you read?

[metrocentric.livejournal.com]

Only English really, but after pottering about for a bit you pick up that they do hair from seeing a few of those signs and the general tress-bothering activity going on inside. Either that or they just make people's hair frizzy and that's where we get the term from.

That makes sense. You see things in Spanish over here a lot, but I took Spanish in school, so it hasn't enlightened me much.
