I am sitting in my local watching the rugby and enjoying a decent pint and there is a chap sitting just across from me with the most unfeasible toupee I have ever seen. Don't his family or friends tell him?

Just thought I would share that with you.

We shop in our local Sainsburys and if we go at the same time on a Weds there is a bloke who also shops there and his syrup is terrible.

Why do men do this?

I think a many looks far better embracing his natural look and no doing the toupee or combe over (ala Trump!). Do they not realise that it looks silly.

Some of the most attractive men I have ever worked with were bald or balding and because they were not at all bothered by this they were all the more attractive for it.

Thank you for sharing that Errol.

I was recently doing business with a chap wearing the most ill fitting toupee imaginable.
It kept moving as he spoke - I was fascinated, almost mesmerised :-D.

we had a lecturer come into work once to teach the shop floor spc etc
had a mega combover and all i could think was god is he bald
after about 2 weeks he had it all cut short and with it being so neat and tidy you didn't notice the bear patches.

ps why do these blonde women spend so much time and effort dying their roots black

I agree - bald men can be dishy - comb overs - yuk, syrups - double yuk

When I worked at our local hospital, every Thursday morning we had the ward round at which I took the minutes. I was a hot day and I had put the oscillating fan on and was sitting next to our oh so precious Indian psychiatrist - he thought he was the bees knes - always carried a briefcase with the word "psychiatrist" embazoned across the front :-S

Well during the course of the morning I noticed everyone kept getting up and leaving the room and couldn't understand why until I realised that every time the fan oscilated past said psychiatrist his "comb over" lifted momentarily and then fell back down - something he was unaware of :-D :-D

Not much point having the rugby on is there. You can't watch it.

I am slightly richer than I might be (by about £20 I expect) because the man in the local TSB in the seventies had a toupee that would be in a different place ever one of the many times I went in there to have a look.

Are you sure it's not just a hairy hat Errol?

Syrup of figs.

There was a lorry driver locally who wore a wig but,if he got hot, he would take it off and put it in his pocket.

I think he quite sensibly thought that hair was the best stuff to keep his head warm.

I wonder if he puts it on a lead and takes it for a walk last thing at night

Have you offered it a drop of milk?

Sharron I was always taught that you should never approach a strange wig or offer it anything in case it is vicious.

And believe you me, this one looks pretty vicious!

Sharron

Sharron Report 10 Mar 2013 15:41

Maybe he doesn't really want it on his head but it ambushed him and won't get off.
You could try knocking it off with a stick for him.

OTOH "Barnet Fair" = hair, no syrup
"Keep your barnet on " - don't get angry

this game is getting boring England are half asleep.
The Azzuri def have more hair.

We have run out of beer somebody will have to go out and get some more.
