I'm soooooo thinking of going over to the other side too....."Yeah I am" & it sounds like you swing between the two, so can you take me. Or are you not going that way........yet?



Cheeky pie monkey.... you sound like the "chatty type" so you can use my "dictaphone" any time you like!



W**F

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.

Once "we" get *Bob* sorted I quite fancy that bed hair look or the wedgie.


Can you do both?


Is it hard?

Many of the residence in the "shadier" area of Camberwellgreen could do with a haircut Maurice, yes indeed!


However I don't think it's their lifestyle priority really.


Thank goodness there is a hilly divide between us all.

James, do you have any idea how mincey you're coming across?

I nearly always go to the barber down at the end of Barry Road, more or less opposite the Clock House. A tenner for a basic cut, proper cut-throat razor to tidy up your neck, no superfluous chit-chat but conversation if you want it, free beer in the fridge if you want it. oh, and they do a decent job of cutting my hair too.


And if anyone works around Victoria, the barber on Page Street near the Regency Cafe is about ?8 or ?9 for a reasonable haircut with even less time spent discussing the weather.

*Bob*, there's no point in carrying on this sterile dispute. We all agree that a "haircut" is a humble product, for which a fee of ?10 is perfectly adequate, and ?15 verging on the princely.


James, on his missions 'up West' (or, curiously, 'down East'), is clearly is search of a "hairstyle", which is another thing entirely. For such a beast ?30 or ?40 may indeed be appropriate. Happily, as a gentleman of modesty and discretion, I have never been in need of such frivolity, and so cannot comment.

The Clipper- OK, but pricey. And what was that pish about being open 'til 7pm on Thursdays? Twice I left work early to make it back for 6.30ish, both times closed. Meh!


Jazzes- only been once, but pretty good haircut- ?12.


BUT, you can't beat a proper Turkish barber who'll take a blazing torch to your lugs to singe off that embarrassing sprouting ear hair, do a cut throat razor wet shave, not bother with extraneous conversation, and address you as 'sir' at the end of it. Then you know you've been properly served, as a Gentleman ought to be!

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.


You're on great form this thread James... I do hope I'm right in thinking you're just messing.


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.


Basically, I just want hair that I can scruff up in 2 seconds and forget about.

Haircut Sir? at the bottom of Tulse Hill is a trad barber. I used to go there when I was foolish and vain enough to have hair.

It was once featured in The Face as being the best place in London to get an authentic flat top and DA.

Make of that what you will.

>>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.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
