gary mac Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Generally, the answer must be yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Aye. Had a mane of hair then the spot appeared. Light from the gantry would bounce of it, reflect in the mirror then blind folk entering the pub like a laser.Gave it a month, it didn't grow back. Zero gauge was the only solution.

That Yes clip was horrible though. Veering close to parody. They should beg Jon Anderson to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBollock Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I have official permission, from my wife, to keep my hair even if I go the full Terry Nutkins skullet. The other day she rather proudly pointed out that I was sitting on my hair. Which I wouldn't have minded if I'd have had pants on at the time...

bigd1 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 My Mum used to say she would cut my hair to my skin in my sleep if I didn't get it cut. These days no hair on my head to cut. Maybe I should have listened to my Mum........ Only thing I would say is never, ever, never eVER put your hair in a pony tail, just don't do it you will look like a NOB!!!

ezbass Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I've never had super long hair, the longest it ever got as a teenager was just above the shoulders. Now I have male pattern baldness and think that boat has sailed. Mrs Ez detests beards, so I'll not be having one of those again. It's all a bit sad really, but when I step out of the shower with cleanly shaved face and number 1 on top, the level of faff I have to face is very low. But with regard to the original question, I have two words - Lee Sklar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL POSTERS Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Naah ! do what you like with the hair, but you should grow out of prog rock, by your 20s preferably That from someone who got sacked from jobs and generally discriminated against because of my long hair and often beardy image in the 60s and 70s. Now I'm retired, still with a good head of hair, its a lot shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I had a mullet when i was 16. My dad lined me up an interview for a job with a huge printing company that may have set me up for life but I turned it down because the MD insisted i get my haircut (he was the double of captain peacock). My dad went bonkers and 6 months later I cut it all off anyway when I realised I looked like a berk!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Could have given you the job, then demanded that you wear a tie and get your haircut after you started. That happened to me more than once even though I didnt have a tie at the tinterviews. I don't do ties, not even at my wedding. Slightly OT I know, but apart from long hair, when do you stop wearing jeans ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I was flat broke, desperate, and went for a job at Wall's the ice cream company. The bloke behind the desk told me he wouldn't give me a job unless I cut my hair. Apparently I wasn't hygienic with long hair. I thought he was going to hit me when I asked if the women were as unhygienic. The landlord in a pub in Mayfair refused to serve me because of my hair; "You come into my establishment, in Mayfair, and expect to be served....!" . We were treated very badly. You kids can wear just about any fashion you like today because of us [i]pioneers[/i]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 There's been rule-breaking and outlandish fashion trends throughout history. The post war decades of the 50s 60s and 70s were particularly austere, disapproving and grumpy. Perhaps justifiably so, but it wasn't comfortable if you fancied having long hair.
