Paddywhack Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Getting a haircut in the heat. I've just sat there, under that big sheet, sweat dripping off my forehead, hair sticking to face and irritating me. I could feel my t-shirt getting wetter and I had to peel myself off the leather chair. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I occasionally go to the barbers to get what's left of my hair shaved off and tidied up, and if it's hot it's even more embarassing because there's nothing there to soak up your sweat. It just runs down your shiny head like a river Which just makes you even more desperate to stop sweating, which of course makes you sweat more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernGordon Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) When you wash dishes by hand and don't rinse them properly. Then you take a glass, pour a beer, take a sip and all you can still taste is Fairy Liquid. If I was 30 years younger I'd have probably still necked it.

Being bald is absolutely fine I’ll take your word for it Hair thinning at 58 and it’s causing me an existential crisis. Always had thick hair, kind of known for it among family & friends, and seeing it slowly disappear is, I cannot lie, more than a bit jarring. My wife had a major health crisis last year and it definitely accelerated my hair’s retreat I absolutely do not have a scalp that would look good bald, it’s more like a topographic map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 This hot weather is not ideal for us rotund sweaty people. @Stevo985 is right, the more you think about the sweat and willing it to stop, the worse it makes it. I stood at New St station the other evening after a brisk walk there, and it was like i'd had a water balloon thrown at my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 If we're talking barbers I'm in one of those British predicaments. There was a time when I needed a barber who spoke English because my Bulgarian was shite. I was walking home one day with my son and I spot a barber. He's also got these fake fish in a thin plastic tube with LED lights, that spin in his window. My son was transfixed with all this. Anyway the barber was outside and spoke English to us. Turns out he's an Iraqi guy with a Bulgarian wife and had just opened up. So I've won the lottery as he's just around the corner and speaks English. My son, two at the time, will only let the 'man with the fish' cut his hair. So there's that also. Now, I've no hair. I basically go to him to shape my beard and zero my remaining hair and my son loves him because he also gives him a juice when he's waiting for me to finish. After the cutting he then goes through this whole rigmarole of slapping my head, aggressively massaging my neck, and shaping my cheek line and neckline with a cut throat razor. I don't really like that....I should say something, but I won't because he's the 'man with the fish' and he speaks English. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
