I used to work for a chap who looked a little like this. Head Warehouseman at a transport company. He hated students and told me so frequently. I was not desperately keen on him. He got his way in the end as I was asked to leave. I can’t imagine anyone wanting this mug on a mug, or anything for that matter. But if you insist: Mugs and stuff   Continue reading Pencil tash

There’s going to be a new haircut every day for the next week or so, then I promise to have a break from it for a while. You can see all these on Red Bubble where you can get any of them as a print or even a mug! So a mug for a mug. Hope you enjoy them. Mugs on mugs! Continue reading Junior heavy metal

It’s all very carefully coiffed. He won’t hear what you have to say. Available on a mug and t-shirts quite soon. Red Bubble Continue reading Back to the haircuts: Metal

Ex-public schoolboys go on to be explorers. Is this a fact? I don’t know, but I bet most of the well-known explorers did go to a very good school. They qualify in beard growing at a very early age. Get an explorer on a flag! Put it up at the North Pole ( or the South, I’m not fussy ) and send me the picture. Here’s where to find the flag : Explore this site: Red Bubble Continue reading Why do they do it? There’s a link here to the last post.

I sometimes sign up for campaigns that I think are worthy. There’s a danger that if you sign anything remotely interesting and then get loads of unrelated emails for you to sign others, but this is one that I signed a while ago and it covers a lot that I feel strongly about. First of all, I’m not big on sport. That does not mean I dislike sport, I like it quite a lot. No, I’m just not a fanatic.  This is aided by the fact that I’m not very good at it. I tried football in the younger years … Continue reading Why plotting is important.

But not so. I live in a town where there are numerous public schools, and I’ve seen the odd one looking like this. Old before their time. 14 years going on 45. Please don’t buy this on a t-shirt. There are others more worthy on Red Bubble SaveSave Continue reading I thought these went out of date…

Amidst all the haircuts I’m dropping this one in. It’s one of the British Character drawings from my exhibition earlier in the year and is close to the original Pont idea. Pont: Graham Laidler, and the British Character I’m a bit ‘low key’ myself about going out and am told I should ‘get involved more’ from time to time. I’ve avoided any fuss about my birthdays for some years and thought I’d managed to keep my head below the parapet for the latest one which was recent. But my kids and son/daughter in law sent me a brilliant gift of … Continue reading A disinclination to go out…

Well, it’s not really a haircut, but no matter. Call it a style if you like. Have you noticed how old blokes who go running sometimes look like they are about to fall over? Running, if it can be called that, at an angle of 45 degrees to the tarmac. Or leaning back at exactly the same angle. Perhaps the bandana is to cover old head injuries. There has to be a reason for the bandana, or perhaps they think it looks cool.It does not. Who am I to criticise, when I won’t even run for a bus. You can get … Continue reading Old blokes running…

When a barber just repeated himself every day. Will the style ever come back? Buy a Beatle haircut on Red Bubble Please please me. I first heard the Beatles when on a “French Exchange” at school. It was their first hit “Love me do” which brings back memories of France every time I hear it, my first taste of watered down red wine with a meal, chocolate in a baguette for a picnic lunch, and the joys of a 2cv. ( I bought one later in life; it was my first car in London and ideal for getting around Hyde Park … Continue reading Those were the days…
