    I hope so, it's the only fun part of the day. All of the nasal detritus is collected and baked into a pie. Whoever comes last in the "Burp the Alphabet" contest has to eat it.

    Which reminds me of the ancient joke about Paul McCartney, when he was planning to marry for the third time.

    Reporter: Paul, will you be going down on one knee?'

    Paul: 'Not after what happened last time'.

    Just had a text from my hairdresser (who normally calls to cut my hair), informing me that she has all her PPE now, and so has booked a slot to cut my hair on 14th July!!

    Still 3 weeks away, but after waiting nearly 3 months to have it done, then another 3 weeks will be no great hardship! It's as curly as fuck and doing my NUT RIGHT IN [kind of a cross between Shirley Temple and a mad professor].

    The worse thing is feeling all that hair when I wash it, and then drying the fucker, especially down by my neck - all of which is absent with my usual 'styled prison trim'!

    Anyway, pics to follow of the 'before & after', especially of the before at its worst, just before the hairdresser calls!!

    How come you didn't get Del to keep it trim? Ursula has been keeping mine relatively decent and has been doing a great job!

    I've just had my partner tidy up the back of my head using the trimmers on my shaver. I used to have a set of 'thinning' scissors (the type where the two blades have comb-like serrations), but I couldn't find them.

    Lol - I have a strict rule of no-one goes near my hair but a qualified hairdresser! Of course, a light trim, such as Barry's referring to would be fine, but I'd rather just wait and have the whole lot done right

    I have a mental picture of you feeding your hair through a slot in the door (like a letterbox), with your hairdresser on the other side cutting what she can reach

    Not sure why your hairdresser is the only one allowed near it - I remember a picture you posted a year or so ago, where you were holed up in some Italian prison, with your prisoner number displayed clearly - what I don't remember is thinking "Ooh, that hairstyle is exceptional, I should get her number, see what she can do with my remaining three hairs". Actually looked like the number four Mrs. P used to give me

    I look forward to seeing your "before and after", but I should warn you, we will be merciless

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
