General Chat

You are quite correct Joeva, I did ask although it was a somewhat rhetorical question.
However, this is meant to be a lighthearted or humourous thread involving something funny I saw - I don't think anybody is being harmed but do apologise if it upsets you

I am sure you are right Errol, but we all have our own opinions on subjects whether supposedly lighthearted or strike a more serious chord on our own life experience.

You did ask the question about friends or family telling the wearer how unfeasible his toupe looked.

Joeva this is just meant to be lighthearted and I am sure nobody that has added is actually being insensitive

Nobody notices a bald head.There is a woman about locally who only has a couple of tufts whichh is all she has ever had.She has let the tufts do their thing and got on with life. Very few have a perfect head of hair.

If you wear a wig you might as well have a flashing light on your head declaring the flaw to look for because everybody sees a wig.

My brother-in-law, husband of my late sister wore a wig, I believe that this was because of partial alopecia which was the result of a traumatic accident in childhood.

I once heard his own parents make derogatory remarks to him about the wearing of it. How cruel when they alone must have known the reason why he covered his lack of hair.

Now more advanced in years he no longer wears it, but still hangs on to the little hair he does have despite being grey and straggly on the sides of his head.

When a woman wears hair pieces, extensions etc to look more glamorous, as do many so called celebrities, I think of a young woman I know who is now 18 who has been bald from birth. She does have a couple of wigs that she wears now but was bullied at a school when very young because she was different

So I think we should never assume that because someone is wearing a toupe or a wig it is just out of vanity.

Bald men in large hats doing the full Monty?

Shudders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I shall now have nightmares

Back with the beer, bloody cold I hadn't realised. Only the COOP is open, luckily they have just had a beer delivery. Got some Peroni as well as the usual, show some sympathy.

Glad I stayed at home for this one ;-)

The Welsh supporters had better either buy some ear plugs or sing very loudly as English singing is even worse than usual.

What is the alternative entertainment ? Bald men in large hats doing the full Monty? Surely not on a Sunday.

I agree Rollo - want to join me in the pub? Plenty of decent ale here!

plus we also have the alternative entertainment

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.

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.

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!

Have you offered it a drop of milk?

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

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.

Syrup of Figs - Wigs

Also 'Irish' - jig, wig.

Thank you Errol - silly me!

Tec

syrup of figs - wig

rhyming slang

absolutely positive Island.

unfortunately he is sitting just to the right of the screen so I can't help a glance every few seconds

Educate me please - what is a "syrup" :-)

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