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.

Bloke flies in a deck chair Continue reading If I’d drawn this some might say I was exaggerating, how very British

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 There are others more worthy on Red Bubble SaveSave Continue reading I thought these went out of date…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…

Buy the professor on Red Bubble You can even get him on a duvet cover. Well, someone might like that idea! I’ll be delving into Heavy Metal hair before too long and as I’ve had such a positive response to the haircut series there will be new ones on here each day. So look out for yours. Continue reading Einstein

Probably just a fine polish. You can buy this mug on Red Bubble Lots more haircuts in the week to come, this one is really a day off. Continue reading How would you like it cut?

Young farmer haircut, quite common in this area. Tractor driving young chap who’s not that worried what he looks like as he spends 12 hours a day alone in a field atop a huge machine, listening to heavy metal. He might like a t-shirt of this but is unlikely to recognise himself. Country boy on a duvet? Really? Continue reading The end of a week of haircuts.

This bloke served me with a coffee not long ago. You can get him on your own coffee mug. He looks worried because he’s passionate about coffee, and the way he looks. Barista on a t-shirt Continue reading Friday Fuzz plus Goaty

Maybe not. Know someone like this? Get them a new mug! New mug Continue reading Thursday is a day for style, perhaps…

I’m keen on food, it has a tendency to help me get from day to day. These days people seem to take a lot of pictures of it and then write about it. I’m a big fan of Betty, not the tea rooms in Harrogate ( where I’ve been once and can recommend, and the owner is not called Betty at all ) but Becoming Betty, who’s also not really called Betty. Is there anyone out there really called Betty? (Become Betty ) She writes about food all the time and reviews it on-line in her blog. She’s in the … Continue reading Do we need to talk about food?
