Men only poll!

Fortunately I don't have to worry about such issues.

Bald as a badger and I don't give a rats. It gets me out of the house faster and down to the shed (shed site at this stage). If only I could find a short cut to brushing the teeth and washing the dial I could be out even quicker.

I like to make fun of my baldness.

I was checking in at Sydney airport one evening and my comb fell out of my pocket when I took out my wallet to get my licence out. A kind serious type of business bloke drew my attention to the dropped comb. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart and remarked that I would be lost without my comb! The poor bloke was lost for words and other people around were intrigued.:wink:

Hopefully it made their wait in the queue a bit more pleasant.

I used to go to an Italian barber in Burwood. I once asked him when he was going to start giving me a discount for having less hair to cut, he told me he was going to start charging a finder's fee. :U

Grandpa was bald, Dad's got a full head of hair, I'm going bald (okay, am bald), I reckon my son'll have a full head of hair. It's in the genes and it skips a generation.

I can't go skinhead because I've got three or four horrid, red lumps on me bonce (had 'em all me adult life) and skinhead will just scare the horses.

I refuse to do a comb over but after a day under a hat, my flamin' hair always arranges itself to look as though I do :((

I wear a hat all the time to keep the sun off the wee skin cancer in the middle of me head :(

When I ride me pushbike on a sunny day, my scalp gets burnt but in the pattern of the holes in the bike helmet :oo: , a look that's always good for a giggle at my expense.

:)) :worthless:

I've been trying to ignore the rampant thinning upstairs but getting a sunburnt scalp twice last summer made it a little hard - hate wearin' hats but might have to go the chrome-dome and cap methinks! :C Bloody grandfather!:~

It's a gene passed down thorough your Grand parents but on your mother's side.
Both my Grand fathers were bald. But Mum wasn't.:wink:

Don't worry, be happy. I still have enough for the barber to slug me $15. I am not worried about losing hair. I am more concerned that my bum is dissapearing. If I put a pair of pliers or some such tool in my hip pocket I just about lose my dacks. Maybe I need to get a pair of braces and keep wearing my cap. Such is life.

Gumby, see the second post in this thread. It is NOT passed down from your maternal grandfather. Well, it can be but it can equally come from your paternal grandfather or your father.

Describes Gumby to a T

A number two comb through whats left and when they can safly tranplant my back hair to the top of my head I'll go for that :oo: , untill then I'll just have to live with the shiny top...:2tsup:

When the kids asked me what the shiny spot on the top of my head was, I told then it was where their mum used to put her thumb and press real hard - I bought a Wahl 9117 and haven't paid for a haircut since - this helps pay for the child support.

Neil, ya theivin' mongrel, THAT was my my line, you got it from me and I pinched it from my paternal grandma..... she used to tell my Dad that!
I have been shaving my scone for quite a few years, well before it was trendy. I have reasonable amount which keeps trying to emerge but it has a large hole in it at the back and I have a fair acreage of forehead that doesn't get prickly... Would I grow it back? NO WAY! I would look ancient, grey, pathetic and it would itch like crazy!
Mick, maaate, just accept that you have no choice but to get better looking as you get ol, er, um, er, more experienced.:wink:

Comb overs...

My high school principal used to have one of them, polished scone, combed from under his chin all the way over.

We had big trouble controlling ourselves when outside on days with a bit of a corsswind...

To picture this, stand in front of the mirror, put your hand across your head and wiggle your fingers. Sound effects complete the picture.

(He also used to live with his mum, which pretty much says it all for the comb over.)

I don't care myself, I am not going bald. Grey, yes (but keep that quiet, I don't want to encourage the little ^%$^%$... :(( ).
