There you go again with your mysterious asterisks John. Not QUITE sure what the word might be, but may it be a term used to describe a certain shade of shoe polish some years ago?

Re: Haircut
Don't like to admit,but I always use a Barber who is Assyrian nothing wrong with him at all
gives a super Cut always so nice and Friendly too,must say he is far above other Aussie Barbers I have used in the past!
And I always get a small (very small) glass of Arak with water and ice! Its not that strong that is why I have it ! That is the only Alcoholic Drink I have ,but its only about once every 6 weeks when I need a trim.
Cheers

Re: Haircut
I have the Best Barber, My step daughter , an attractive blue eyed blonde, gives me a hair cut, at my home, and for Free. She is a hair dresser..
I have never seen the inside of a Barbers shop for 30 years.
All that money saved.
Cheers
Brian.

Re: Haircut
I first emigrated here from Liverpool about 38 years ago. At first there were a few minor signs that the local residents may be suspicious of me, For Sale boards suddenly appeared overnight and my neighbours began to wrap snow chains around their hubcaps and hang huge padlocks on their garden sheds. The first time I went into the village store and reached in my pocket for change the shopkeeper threw his hands in the air and shouted," Take what you want don't shoot ".
Now I am fully integrated into village society, I am allowed to stroke dogs even when they are off their leads and some people have even invited me into their home without hiding their valuables first, which is nice.

Re: Haircut
Just read that post from Doc and am very worried. They didn't get that name Assyrian for nothing. He is plying you with Arak with the intention of taking sexual advantage of you.

Re: Haircut
Rang Doc's house to warn him. His wife said he has rushed out suddenly, carrying an overnight bag. He said he was going for a haircut.

Re: Haircut
A pal of mine got himself into trouble when he went for aa haircut at one of the first unisex hairdressers in shields.
He was middle aged and wore glasses.
He was sat in the chair, the bib draped over him and a smart dolly bird commenced to cut his hair. Whilst she was turned away from him to get the shaver to trim his neck and sideburns, he took his glasses off and was cleaning them of hair that had fallen on them, underneath the bib. Turning back to her customer all the girl could see was movement under the bib in the crotch area of the customer. Immediately thinking that my mate was a dirty old man who had got excited by having a fit young girl lean over him whilst cutting his hair, she grabbed the nearest hair dryer and whacked him over his head with it, shouting to all that he was a dirty old man to all and sundry. Lots of embarrassment all round when the truth was revealed.
