Hairdresser Question

Post by Porty » 06 Jun 2005, 16:44

Just been having a haircut, where I had to endure a slagging from Froglette who seems to think my running the marathon is comical. I digress. The subject of the new hairdresser on the site of the old Joppa post office (good riddance) came up.

It was remarked; That makes x hairdressers in Portobello. Anyone care to guess the value of x? How many hairdressers are there in Porty?

My hairdresser has the final say on the correct answer.

I would say the easy way to count them is to check out the relevant section in the Local Business Directory and add on the one at Joppa we haven't got round to listing yet. :lol:

I once had a conversation with Peter (Jon Pauls) about the number of Hairdressers in Portobello. Must be the blue rinse brigade that keeps them all in business! :lol:

Glad to hear you've had a haircut Porty. I'm sure you'll be a very *dashing* figure on Sunday :P

Many top athletes shave off all their body hair before an event. Having to carry a fraction of a gramme less can make all the difference.

That's very true Bob. However, if i shaved all of the hair of my legs...in fact if I had my legs amputated, i doubt it would have much of an impact on my performance.

Gemini, try to think of it in gardening terms...replacing a large bush with a small rectangular flower bed...if you catch my drift :wink:

Don't think the desired look is achievable on a bloke...but wouldn't mind experimenting :twisted:
