    Default Lockdown Slobs! Come on, own up!

    OK, who's let things go during the lockdown and now looks a total, scruffy, unshaven, shameless mess?

    I have, but I was a bit like that anyway .
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I could certainly do with a haircut, and the shaving's gone out the window too. Last time I had a shave I managed to cut myself and was bleeding like a stuck pig (OK, slight exaggeration there). But it's fair to say I was never much of a Beau Brummel to start with.

    Grown a beard twice and shaved it off twice. Trying to stay on top of it now as it's a pain in the arse. Went through about a million razors getting it off.

    Didn't shower for a week. I don't recommend that.

    Hair-wise I bought some clippers but not opened the package yet. Had second thoughts about doing DIY barbery.

    I cut my wife's hair a few weeks back. It doesn't look too bad now it's grown out a bit, but her first reaction on looking in the mirror was to find a good divorce lawyer.

    So why can't she cut yours?

    OMG - the very thought of Del allowing me to 'go at' her hair with a pair of scissors, which is beautifully thick and down to her waist, is beyond any notion of funny!!!!

    I'd be 'Bobbitted' first!!

    She could, I guess, I haven't asked her to. It's not too bad if I remember to comb it back, I look a bit like Michael Heseltine. If I don't comb it though, I look more like Bob out of Twin Peaks.

    My own hair is just crazy long at the moment, compared with how I normally have it, which is not quite skinhead-short, but not too far off! I could probably make a small ponytail at the back!

    And as for the sides and top - just - HOLY FUCK...

    I'll be letting it grow though, until the hairdresser can call again, hopefully sometime in July... What it'll be like by then doesn't ever bear contemplating!! However, I promise I'll post a 'before and after' pic, once she's made me look semi-human again

    So who cuts her hair, or is she just letting it grow?

    She's just letting it grow, Joe. Her hair's super-long anyway, as I said down to her waist and always beautifully kept (and dark brown). The only person she'd trust going near her hair is a professional hairdresser. She sometimes cuts her fringe, though
