Currahee! Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Bought clippers about 6 years back - so the wife does mine. A number 2 all over does me. Just remembered I've got clippers and I got the wife to give me a #4 all over. What could go wrong? Well as she was clipping I heard her say "oops" and I said what do you mean "oops?" She said it was nothing so I forgot about it. Next day at work we went for our dinner and my mate was walking behind be and he burst out laughing at my hair at the back. I never saw it but he said it was a mess. I had to go to the barbers to get it sorted out and it cost me double due to the state it was in. She's never been allowed near it again.

winningways Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I remember one Sunday one of our neighbours came to the door and asked if we had any clippers as she had been giving her husband a number 2 and only got half the head done when the clippers packed in.We didn't have clippers , she had to try and finish the job with a pair of scissors and you should have seen the nick of the finished job.

Marvin Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 An ex girlfriend of mine (not that one ) wanted to take the clippers to my hair. Great I thought, so told her a wanted a number 2. Strange how the attachment pinged off and I got a number 0. It looked terrible I was a skinny bugger at the time (still am but a stone or two heavier) and I looked like a Belsen victim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJambo Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Finding a barbers locally has been a problem for me as they're all Bengali/Indian where I live. I spent a fiver on a haircut in Soho once and I got a fivers worth. I had to go somewhere else to get it fixed Was spending ?12 for a while after that but the chat was terrible and it was like getting my hair cut from a deaf mute. I now go to a barbers in the arcade next to Liverpool St Station and whilst its pricey at ?22 they cut it well and have the ability to hold a conversation.

Shapes Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 ?40 for cut and colour which I don't think is too bad.

Ray Winstone Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The last few years as a student I was just getting it clipped - 3 back and sides (1.5 around the bottom to keep it neat) and a 5 on top.
