I shaved my head again today. I shave it every couple of months to disguise the fact that I’m going bald.

Reelin' In the Years
Posted on Mon, 06 Apr 2026

Where next?
Posted on Fri, 03 Apr 2026
I'm waiting for another option to become available before I fizzle out. I don't want to spend all eternity with Jimmy Savile but neither could I stand the constant harp playing and Cliff Richard. Also there are some people who are currently still...
