You win some, you lose some.

The hair definitely has an effect. Last night the fourth and fifth people asked to stroke it.

Girl 1 said it was nice. Girl 2 said I was a jehova's witness, a thug, a marine and a creepy pervent, and was just about as wrong as it's possible to be all times :)

So now I'm not sure. Perhaps if I keep it for people who know me, but wear a hat when I'm out?

Something else occured to me to wonder. It's lovely and soft now, but is that because it's short, or just because since every hair is less than a week old, it hasn't been ruined by tesco's shower gel? Should I be using conditioner?

James Joyce

Frank Budgen once asked James Joyce how he was progressing on "Ulysses." Joyce replied that he had been working hard all day. Budgen said "Then you've written a great deal?"
Joyce said, "I have seven words comprising a whole sentence."
Budgen said, "Seven words? That's a lot for you."
Joyce replied, "Yes, it is. But now I can't figure out the order in which they belong."
