Ha! The compact edition and its accompanying magnifying glass has been an obsession since I was about six, and my old man passed it on to me when someone gave him the latest edition as a retirement gift. I'm hoping to avoid arrest in the foreseeable future, but it has a very good chance of coming with me to the desert island when Kirsty (or Lauren as it is now) calls - just matter of time...

Barber or hairdresser? That sounds a reasonable price for that kind of service. I?ve never had a hairdresser wash my hair again to get bits out @fter cutting.

Actually sounds sensible.


The danger of course is you'll run into Gavin Henson.

Sorry to revive old thread but I was talking to the owner of a salon and they had good advice. If it?s over ?50 for standard haircut they don?t necessarily expect a tip as they are very well paid. If it?s under ?30/40 then a tip is great. Under ?30 definitely tip.

Made sense to me!

Well, certainly cheap, but it depends on the quality of the cut, doesn't it?

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
