I think I may have to bite the bullet and go for Stephen Graham’s approach.

My fukken clippers started shorting on me today. Mind you, if they do pack in mid cut its not as if I'm going anywhere to feel like a kunnt is it?

Punks used to use Marmalade

No we didn't.

I currently have a head like a German lesbian's armpit

Mrs T and I jointly worked a wonder with my hair. I cut my own from 76-91, so it was deja vu all over again.

Yes, I now have the over 60s version of a Fun Boy Three

Even 61 year old Terry Hall hasn't got one of those.

I have a decent head of hair.

Edit - just looked him up now, and my hair, now, is better than his, and I don't look so sad. Or overweight. But he has had a hard life.

I hope my rechargeable clippers don't pack up.

Having said that might practise on the hound first.....

Actually that reminds me of ME as an 18 year old trying to look like Patti Smith!

Indeed. Tried vaseline but it's a bugger to wash out. Shifted very quickly to a 'lower maintenance' rigmarole, but the girls I used to hang out with always took ages getting ready to go out

The Specials used to use my Chippy in Coventry when I was at the Lanchester Polytechnic in 1980. I can confirm that Terry Hall was a miserable *******. Mind you living in Coventry was enough to do that to anyone...

I only found this out yesterday as a result of googling after [MENTION=1200]Harry Wilson's tackle[/MENTION] 's original post but an underlying reason for Terry Hall's generally sour demeanour was his kidnap at the age of 12 by a paedophile ring during a school trip in France which left him deeply traumatised, and he has lived with depression as a result. The lithium which he has been prescribed might also explain his weight gain.

Indeed. As I said in post #87, he's had a hard life. That aside, that live ep they released is right up there with the best live music ever released, IMO.

As another aside, quite a few of the punk and post punk afficianados I had back in the day, not to mention quite a lot of the performers, had had hard lives. Creativity seems to spring disproportionately from adversity.

I highly recommend both of Brett Anderson's books (if you haven't already read them)

Thanks. I heard him interviewed a month or so ago, and was intrigued. Amazon is my friend

Hairdressers opening in Germany from May 4th

One of my colleagues bought some clippers. He usually has a number 2, so set it at 2. Only to find that this meant 2mm - and once he found that out it was too late!
