On account of all the barbers all being closed, I went to the e-shops to buy some hair clippers. As all the ones that look half decent are sold out, I have now saved not only the cost of at least one haircut, but also the cost of some clippers. On the downside, if this carries on much longer I'll start to look like a shite tribute act for a pi55-poor 80s rock band. And I won't even have a pub to gig in.
I never was any good at football.
That sounds a lot like me. No interest in football, hair getting too long and no gigs to play with my Bass, so:
1) No football on the telly is a positive for me. Watched "School For Scoundrels" with Terry Thomas on BBC 2 yesterday. He reminds me of my long-departed Dad, and the "Bellini" car he drives is an AM DB3S with a strange fin on the boot. Its "Man in the White Suit" with Alec Guinness today.
2) Managed to get a set of Whal clippers plus the various length combs off the internet for about £15. My wife had a go with the Number 4 and after a few goes with shorter combs around the neck and ears, it looks half decent!
3) Have managed to do 3 "virtual jams" with my bandmates practicing some new songs for when we are let out. Doobie Brothers "long train running" was fun for me as a great bass line. Drums just didn't work well this way and drowned the rest out, so drummer on percussion and rest of us playing with amps down low. Got better the more beer we drank!
