BFTD Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 It may be difficult to believe, all things considered, but I've never heard the Spot the Loony song. Any links?Also, why do minor bumps and grazes hurt so much more when you're cold? The heating turned off during the night and I barked my ankle when getting up. Victims of the Inquisition didn't suffer so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I'm looking for a Bluetooth music player so I don't have to lug my phone around the gym battering it off of stuff. Extra points if you have one that can have Spotify (or suchlike) on it. Can anyone point me in the direction of something?

What's that all about then? Why do elderly ladies keep getting blue/pink/purple rinses? I was sure that would have died off by now. At what point does somebody think, "well Moira, you've been retired for a few years now, time to dye your hair a very watery pale pastel colour"? Does the hairdresser pull you aside and have a quiet word? Genuinely no idea how this became the thing to do, or why it continues. Now I'm wondering if the current generation of youngsters, used to dying their hair bright vibrant colours, will suddenly decide to tone it down for no good reason when they hit 70. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrooge1928 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 IIRC it was sung to the tune of Son of my Father by Chicory Tip.That song was 48 years ago and the Spot the Loony sketch on Monty Python was about the same. Not many people below bus pass age will remember them, and they don't tend to sing at matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Old women get purple rinses because as you get older your eyesight deteriorates and whites appear yellow. Purple is the complimentary colour to yellow so when they dye their hair purple it appears white to them, not the piss yellow they normally observe in the mirror.Short hair is an easy one. Hair is a reflection of one's health and a person with shoulder length hair is effectively displaying two years' worth of their medical history (which is why they test hair samples for drug use and why Britney shaved her head). As we get older our hair, somewhat like our skin, turns from soft and shiny to wiry and dull. Cutting your hair short helps disguise how old/unhealthy you are by putting less of it on display.It's also why women often cut their hair short after giving birth as the stresses of child birth and rearing have an adverse effect on their hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds absolutely mental but, considering your second paragraph is reasoned and makes sense, you've got me wondering if there might not be something to it. I intend to start approaching ladies with rinses to tell them their hair doesn't actually look like piss. This insanity must end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, tell them that there's only a strong stench of piss instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
