  1. Eh? When exactly did I say I behave like an obnoxious tw*t in my dealings with customers? I recall one thread where I said exactly the opposite Sean... (?) Lately you seem to be attributing bizarre things to me that I haven't said, have I offended you in some way? Sorry but I do find JR incredibly smug. A review of a veggie restaurant that turned into a patronising critique of vegetarians particularly annoyed me.
  2. Ugh, glad I didn't go if Jay Rayner was there. The smug, obnoxious tw*t
  3. Wish I was Adam Ant! (the 80s version, not the gun-toting "Save the Gorillas" one) Oh and Woof, you sound like the perfect man. Not sure about the rhinestone in the hair but what the hell. Let's get married.
  4. >>I once spent ?60 on my hair, in my younger days, when I had all sorts of bright red, copper, and black bits in it. I then remembered that I am a bloke That sounds fabulous. But why did you give up your dashing hairsyle? Why should women have the monopoly on flamboyance? Let's not forget that before those silly repressed Victorians made us dress down, men preened and posed at least as much as women. Look to the animal kingdom - the female duck is drab but the drake is fagulous. So go forth and be dandy. Invest in your hair. It's in our genes.
  5. It's never too late Woof! We will have him looking like George Clooney and out of that bedsit in no time. Meanwhile... That's enough about Bob, let's talk about US
  6. Woof - I will deal with you later. You sound fantastic. Bob - don't be so hard on yourself! I'm sure you'd scrub up ok with a decent haircut. Maybe a bit of moisturiser? I have a picture of you in my head and it looks like a cross between John McCririck and Sir Rhodes Boyson. PLEASE post a pic, I'm dying to know if I'm right.
  7. I should start a workshop for unreconstructed men to drag them into the modern age. Try it boys. You might get a girlfriend (or boyfriend).
  8. Do I ever fancy someone primarily because of their hair? Well, I'm not a hair fetishist! But it's like most aspects of one's appearance isn't it? It can be appealing - like having nice skin, or nice eyes, or good clothes.
  9. Oh dear me Bob, come out of the dark ages please! Do you wear deodorant? Do you wash your clothes? I do hope so. For the sake of any women in your life. Oh and (you wouldn't know this, as you don't pay for decent haircuts) but the effect lasts much longer than half a day.
  10. Given the number of women and men who try to chat me up, I don't think I suffer from any such conditions Bob. But then, if nobody looks at you at all, why bother to spend money on a haircut? You could spend it on pies instead.
  11. You get what you pay for I'm afraid. We do live in a democracy though, so you are welcome to have bad hair if you choose. I choose to look handsome.
  12. A decent haircut for under ?12? How preposterous. Are we living in the dark ages? Would you let the council cut your hair? Go somewhere fashionable in East London or the West End. And expect to pay around ?30-40. Unless you want to look like a football hooligan.
  13. Had a look at the Clipper website and there aren't any pictures of haircuts on it! Not a good sign. A bit like a restaurant website with no menus, or a website for a shop with no stock on it. So your plug has backfired a bit Jimi, at least for me.
  14. I do think there is a PC thing behind it. I am not saying we are going to hell in a handcart or anything (I can't bear the "it's PC gone mad" brigade) but I do find it weird when people make special allowances for people... bad service is bad service. I have worked in customer-facing jobs before and I wouldn't dream of treating people like that; if I did I would expect to be reprimanded. You're being paid to be polite and it doesn't cost anything!
  15. Not sure I get the gay analogy Sean - I do not recall ever saying that gay people are allowed to be rude to people because they are gay and straight people wouldn't understand!
  16. I'm not sure I could be friends with someone from a family of bus drivers. The shame! ;-)
  17. Your entire family drive buses? Well that would explain how you jumped in so rashly in defence... I was brought up selling olives like the rest of my (working-class) family. Gawd bless 'em.
  18. What I'm saying is that it's a bit patronising defending crap bus drivers in a bleeding-heart-liberal "oh it's such a tough job" way. How do you know? Who on here is actually a bus driver? It smacks of the usual "I'm so pc and understanding" posturing that's so often in evidence on this forum. Here's a thought - how about we expect EVERYONE to get on with it and do their job properly, and if they're rude, we complain? Revolutionary.
  19. I love the way certain people rush on here to defend rude bus drivers. Ah, the poor little working classes, how can we expect them to do their jobs properly? Diddums. Whereas if the middle-class person serving you your olives in the East Dulwich Deli was rude you'd be on here straight away moaning to everyone. Why the double standard?
  20. Interesting that you mentioned that the boys were white - nobody has taken you up on this. Hmmm.
  21. Le Chateau! I love it. With Perrier on tap and brioche a volonte. That's what we need!
  22. Apparently they are applying for a license for lapdancers.

    Michael Jackson

    Apparently reports of him dying in hospital last night are incorrect. He was actually in the children's ward having a stroke.
