Fifty to 50 #01: Get a Daft Haircut
I’ve never had a daft haircut, not even as a teenager. And, let’s be honest, a post about a haircut can’t really be all that readworthy, can it? Essentially, I had my hair cut. Not particularly interesting. Then I had an idea: just write down some of the feedback that you’ve had. So that’s what I’m going to do.
Ruth: “Your head will feel the cold.”
Danielle: “I do love you.”
Isis: “Wasn’t expecting that, I must say. Midlife crisis?” Then, “If anyone can rock it, it’s you!”
Isla: “Amazing!”
Helen: “No waaaaaaaaaaay!”
Ben: “Love that view, David. You look great.”
Lindsey: “Loving it!”
Nicky: “You look like an extra from Trainspotting.”
Graham: “Oh, my God, I love it! This is the best thing I’ve seen all day!”
Catherine: “Very Beckham 2002.”
Tracey: “Will you let me dye it green?”
Richard: “He’s rebelling.”
Adele: “What on earth have you done to your hair, David?”
Fin: “Love it!”
Blessy: “Love that hair!”
Claire: “You ********!”
Diane: “Looking great!”
Steve: “Looks good. Like a car tyre.”
Anne: “Oh! David’s done a Taxi Driver!”
Tom (the barber): “I like your hair. Obviously, I might be biased.”
Brittany: “Ooh, David!”
Eve (aged nine): “I love your hair, David. I want to have it like that when I’m older. I want to have a line through my hair like you.”
George (aged seven): “When I’m eight, I might be taller than my daddy.”
Back to Eve: “I hope you don’t ever shave your hair bald again.”
Michael: “What were you thinking?”
Brian: “David the UFC fighter.”
Cara: “No way, that’s so good! For some reason, that does suit you.”
Tim: “It makes you look mean.”
Solange: “You do you.”
And, finally, me: “I expected it to look hideous, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. I thought I’d keep it for a week, then shave it all off, but I think I’ll keep it for a while.”
Well, that’s item number one ticked off the list – hurrah! I wonder what’ll be next?
“All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial.” I Corinthians 6:12.
Yeah. He might have had a good point, there.
