Try having a son who wants a haircut that only him and his mates think is cool. (Well, maybe some girls as well.)

I'm trying to stay positive and encouraging, but geez, he'll look back in a dozen years and say - what the **** was I thinking?

I try and explain this, but to no avail. 

Long on top that he has to keep pulling over his eyes. Number one on the sides. Stripes under the hangover. FFS, just get a normal cut that you don't have to update every two weeks.

Clearly I'm getting old and don't understand.

Just tell him he looks cool, take photos of it from every angle and then show him in 20 years time when the conversation will turn to, "Dad why didn't you stop me. What the **** was I thinking"

Sounds like a W-League player haircut.

Force him to get the classic Short & Spiky. Preferable with added flame shirt.

This is the best I can do for you I am afraid, not sure what is going on with the sound, but watching with the sound off is even better.

Nahhh, surely they can squeeze another 50 odd years out of Hitler programs? My old man calls the History channel on Sky in the UK the 'Hitler channel'.

Just been on Skype to the old fella, they went out for a car ride in the week out in to the country. It turns out that the Yorkshire Tour was on, which is a big bike ride that is quite a big deal actually, it is shown on TV over there and gets the crowds out lining the streets and waiving flags. Somehow, and I am still not sure I understand how, the old man managed to weave around a road block and get on the a closed to cars part of the course.....with crowds lining the roads, apparently the leading bikes were about the come though in the next 5 mins. So a cop up the road shytes themselves, puts on a lights and siren and has to escort them at speed up the course. The old girl said it was like a vip as the flags and stuff were waiving and with the police car in front everyone thought they were someone important :rolleyes:

I dread to think if they made a live TV report or the local ******* newspaper :rolleyes:

So all in all a pretty normal afternoon ride in the country for them ffs :rolleyes:

Question. Do you know that in Australia, old fella can be a slang reference for penis?

With this in mind, the first sentence alone takes on a whole new meaning.

:P

Ha lol

The day my son was born (York in the UK) they came to the hospital to visit us and see him.

He reversed his car in to a concrete bollard in the hospital car park on arrival. He must have been shifting as made one hell of a mess.

We knew something was up because we could hear the old man and girl arguing about it from around ward door and whilst they were right up the other end of the hospital hallway. They did that thing where by they stopped the other side of the ward door and out of sight and talked like they thought no one could hear them. The whole ******* shared ward could hear them. The last thing my mum said was 'just shut up will you and go see your grandson', they then walk around the door with fake smiles like they think no one knew..idiots....

The old man had to drag me out of the hospital to the car park to show me of course....

And people wonder why i emigrated...

23 minute ads for Clive Palmer on You tube. :angry:

Of course I don't watch them...altho I've stomached the first 5 minutes just to check of what bullshi.t he's peddling.

What's much worse is the notion that a certain proportion of the population may choose to vote for him. Way beyond gear grinding - it's despair-inducing.
