Cure for baldness

Post by Nelson Hatstand » 27 Jan 2007, 17:12

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before.

I couldn't find one on the open market that seemed to work, so last year I sat down and devised my own, using various potions that we had lying round the house.

It seems to be working so far. I'll keep people informed if growth continues, and maybe then start selling it over the internet.

Well, I wasn't sure if I should or not - some people don't know what I looked like before anyway, so they might just think it's a con.

The other good thing is that the hair which is growing back - or 'renewed' as I'm going to say in the brochure, is the colour my hair was before I started going grey. Good eh?

You're not using boot polish the same colour of your hair are you?

This year marks the fortieth anniversary of the day I sat in the barber's chair and he said "Do you realise you're going bald in the back?"....... so if you want to give it a real trial :wink:
I have nothing to say and I'm going to say it.

Going bald's a terrible thing to go through. I think I first noticed about 18 years ago, and not a day has gone by since then when I've not stared into space, dreaming of having long curly lustrous locks, like a big sexy stud.

But now it seems that my dreams are coming true. I might pm you a pic, Rathbone - I look markedly different to when I saw you in the pub a couple of months back. Then you can decide whether or not you want to give it a go.

Ah, but then again you were a completely different person a couple of months ago Nelson.

That's true, Marya. It seems like a lifetime ago now since I made my Messalina-like transformation into that which I have now become. I can barely remember Jackson, but sometimes memories of him nudge at my subconscious - his soft skin, his almond smell, his shaky hand...

So what you are saying is that now that I have hair growth in moderation, that I'm in on the snogathon list, yes? When is it by the way?

Seanie's got long, curly, lustrous locks but it didn't get him on the snogathon list. I imagine he'll be heart broken about that :P

Nelson, the first thing Epycat referred to when describing you was your baldness. Imagine her confusion when she sees you next (When describing Ali she said "well he just looks kind of grumpy"!).

I think we've rumbled your game, matey.

You can't prove anything, slaphead!!

And now everyone will know you're at it.

Unless you can prove it.

What's your problem, you grumpy fucker? You're just jealous of my youth and handsomeness and feel threatened by the fact that everyone in the Ormelie fancies me and you never get a look in anyway, and now i've got hair it's gonna get even worse!

So I don't see why I should post a picture just to satisfy your cynical noggin. Even if I had one. Which I don't.

Hair and dignity - that's two things I've got that you haven't. 8)

Yeah right. Don't forget I witnessed the whole 'ghost dog of Portobello' incident.

OK, since you're so insistent, I'll get Mrs H to take a picture. I think the camera's broken though, that's the only thing.

I was in the 'Ormelie' last night, but was disappointed to find no trace of Nelson. However, there was a very hirsute man in "The Dalriada' - long lustrous locks to his shoulders and beard brushing his pecks. Do you think that may have been him? :shock:

ps
Ali, didn't see any ghostly animals on the way home, though we were looking out for them and had had a drink or twelve. :?

Only 3 Corn Exchange G&Ts from 8 til 12. :cry: And if I'd been trying to be Lotte, I'd have written "pray do tell"!! :tongue: :P

Anyway, stop trying to distract us from the ghostly doggie story!!

Oi! I told you that in confidence :wink:
Anyway, I quickly followed the 'grumpy' statement with 'but he's not really' - HONEST :lol: . And you've neglected to tell Nelson all the other positive things I said about him...........
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!
