I hate having my hair cut.  Walked into the barbers in Brecon, and nobody waiting, excellent.  One man being trimmed, and Jeremy Kyle on the telly; “you had sex with your girlfriend’s best friend whilst she was staying with you both didn’t you?”.  

The first time in Lexy’s was last December, nice girl cut my hair superbly, and we had a chat about happenings in Brecon; tried subsequently to make an appointment with her without success “just come in and sit and wait for her to be free ” – stupid boy.  Second time I got a different girl without conversation which was enjoyable (to a point).  Six chairs in line and one empty, so I picked that one and settled in for a long wait as a man and boy were both being dealt with, and this was the first time for the youngster “bless” not.  This time the same girl walked in “sniff, OK?” which I took to be an invitation to saunter over to the chair. No, conversation, excellent.  The man was finished, gave a tip and left and the two girls started chatting, ignoring me completely. “Sniff. I don’t fancy working on Friday, so shall I come to your place and we can go to the pub? Sniff “.”We can get a few in before the others sniff meet us “.  “Did sniff Caerwys tell you about me on Saturday? Sniff, left at Three, walked home and got in at four, in work at eight, massive hangover, sniff”. “Tapered or square at the back sniff?”. “Takes me two days to get over a hangover these days sniff”. And on it goes…..

Don’t know why I go there really.  Apart from I know the routine, I need a cold, and it’s £7. 

This is before not after.
