The missus lost the hair clippers and my hair is currently looking like it's started its own freestyle dance class. Is this just me or has anyone else's hair escaped the plantation? 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

There was talk of Mullets returning (almost came out as that so called manager on predictive text), what with difficulty doing the back of your hair yourself. It’s a messy job, but gotta be done. Plenty definitely getting their mates to do it. COYP

I'll just let mine grow like I did last time. Hopefully it will only be until March. I might clip the bits around my ears and trim the sideburns, but since you can't go out, who will care?

I don't think I can go on with it much longer.....I'm going to have to order new trimmers. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Yep, I'm heading straight for mullet central. My self styled Barnet is combed back like a 90° Bobby Charlton. I'd shave the lot off, but I just don't have the right head shape for that.

It’s not really that hard to do yourself, but of course that’s killing barbers’ businesses even out of lockdown. 2 grades different between top and bottom. Each grade is 3mm. Do the top first. I know barbers do back and sides first but it’s easier to get it right DIY top first and shave the hair off a bit lower. It’s the back at the bottom that’s difficult. It’s the mess that’s hassle.

During the first lockdown I bought a ZZ Top style waist length hair / beard combo and sent a picture to a few friends. Almost without exception they thought it was real which was a bit disappointing. Particularly as my hair would’ve had to grow a yard in a month and gone even greyer than it is now.

I always do my husbands hair, and just as good as the barber used to (his opinion!)....... Don't any of you lot have handy wives? A stairway to Heaven and a Highway to Hell give some indication of expected traffic numbers

WHAT, knowing TOM's around, nobody's going to own up to having one. Jeez woman, think before making statments like that. This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
