    You're right there, Bruce. My hairbrush is now unemployed and likely
    to remain so for some time.
    Right again. Something else with short hair - ears. Putting a hat or
    helmet on used to be easy, as the hair would encourage the headwear to
    slide over the top of the ears, to the extent that I could forget
    about having ears altogether. Now, I keep folding my pinnae down, in
    half. I have to slide a hand up inside my lid to push them back up
    again or they hurt like bloody hell. I can't even get my thinsulate
    hat on without having to remember to pull it out over my ears.

    However, one thing I don't miss is helmet beard. If it sat wrong, the
    beard would curl up and down inside the chinpiece, both at the same
    time. This looked most odd for quite some time, as it would take at
    least as long as the time spent in confinement to return to "normal".

    Hellanddamnation, no, there are no captions. There could be, though.
    Make it worth my while and I'll write some.
    I think I would, if only for the ease of living with it. One less
    thing to have to consider all the time.
    That doesn't sound too good - did you get the quiet, hard word, then?

    I can't bring myself to go through the transitional phase. Not riding
    the bike isn't an option.

  5. Gotta have captions.
    Look - I started the ball rolling on Saturday night with a crispy note,
    so as to stop the other pikeys chucking coppers in the jar.
    I think I'd have to go from all to nothing, I have no idea what I'd look
    like, and less idea what "style" would suit me.
    Nope, we're still doing unofficial off the record round the houses
    bullshit. For now.

    You missed two:

    You don't have to comb or brush it.
    No 'helmet hair'

    shortness either.

    ..jpg if he's chopped it.

    That was your trip to the MD's office?

    After the protestations the other week that you were invincible at
    work?

    For the record, I don't like long hair on men, because it invariably
    looks shit.

  11. That's not what I said, I said they were on very dodgy ground and I had
    a better case than most, unless they don't play fair (which would be
    unusual in this company).
    Well, we're all entitled to an opinion, but given I'm not customer
    facing and it doesn't affect how I do my work, opinion should be irrelevant.

    It wasn't bait; it's my opinion. Yours is better than most, I'll
    grant you - but I would still wager that you'd be more stylish and
    debonair (and less like Rick Parfitt) with short hair.

    Ace, stylish? Debonair? Come come Mr Blaney one's letting you're
    imagination run away with you there.

    He did steal one of my hairbrushes some time ago ... took him a while
    to work out how to use. Indeed, I have my suspicions that the hair
    won in the end and the brush is, in fact, caught up somewhere in the
    bag of shavings from the weekend!
