Here is an intereting idea. Apply alcohol to Mrs Mart iin liberal quantity.... then close your eyes while she cuts your hair. Then you can post photos of the result

Yes, thought you were being a bit premature, but, didn't want to disappoint you
AFAIK, it is 66 now for State Pension and Bus Pass, in England.
In our area, we get "free" bus pass, with restricted hours of use, and a (bargain) Metro Pass, £12/year for all zones (again, restricted hours).
However, as we discovered, "English" bus pass is not accepted in Wales and Scotland, so much for the "United Kingdom". I was. however, able to travel free on the Metro in Budapest!
There has to be some advantages in getting old!
Happy Birthday

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

I presume when you say "apply alcohol liberally " you don't mean to pour it over her.

Morning all.
I am now older than a certain Beatles song.
Yes folks, 65 years ago today I came into this world with a bang - literally!
My Mum went into labour during the family's bonfire night fireworks display.
Off to get my bus pass later.
Happy Birthday Dirk, I'll be raising a glass for you later!
Not really...... I meant 'get it down her neck'.I presume when you say "apply alcohol liberally " you don't mean to pour it over her.
