We're stopped off for a pint. I spent most of my time in the pub dealing with strangers who wanted to pet Bella
LOL, more training would sort that for you...:

Well this wasn’t today, but shortly after this event I went down with COVID so a bit late to the table.. but a typical kiwikrasher calamity story from last Thursday I knew you guys would enjoy :)

So… as normal Jess gave me a haircut after getting home. Standard is a No. 3 buzz cut. Went well and she did a great job as normal. Took the comb off the clippers to tidy my neck. At the end of it I grabbed the clippers and thought “I’ll just do a couple of check runs over my head.” Forgot the comb had came off and shaved a next time zero right across my head.

So Jess has had to shave me to a no.1 and it’s still visible

So beanie for the next couple of weeks (lol)

He should have just trusted that Jess had done the job properly. I would call that "karma".

Pot kettle black....... -At least Kiwi's dubious fashion statement was unintentional, and he intends to hide it away under a beanie.. Not everyone can claim the same moral high ground, can they mate.?

went for a blood test this morning and have now spent 45 minutes on hold to HMRC because the bastards have cancelled my working tax credits which means all my housing benefit and council tax benefits have stopped too .

So, you're suggesting that you're a "Yul Brynner", and Kiwi is a "Telly Savalas".?? :^

Not really.....that pic is about 8 years out of date... and I haven't had a haircut in over 7 years - which oddly enough puts me out of date on an entirely different level.

Hang up, dial the number again, and when it gives you menu options press "0".
It's worth a shot.
