The smaller the number, the shorter the cut. A 3 is pretty darned short (it's generally what I go with, too).EdTheRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076404906604458623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153364.post-78277097369692490482008-10-20T17:32:00.000-05:002008-10-20T17:32:00.000-05:00Major Dude, $14 for a haircut is a good deal.

Women's haircuts are more.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea what this number system refers to, but I want to find out more.Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547211277547266241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153364.post-79936403426492412912008-10-14T15:30:00.000-05:002008-10-14T15:30:00.000-05:00You just need to teach them the magic equation: g...You just need to teach them the magic equation: generous tips = generous pours + occasional free rounds.

I even make my kids tip me for making their breakfast in order to train them up for the outside world (and to earn myself some extra pocket money). The hardest thing is convincing visiting Scottish relatives to tip the barman every time they buy a beer. Even harder than getting them to buy the beer in the first place.Ian Plenderleithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512357220650578961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153364.post-77801736712091319292008-10-04T08:46:00.000-05:002008-10-04T08:46:00.000-05:00More outrageous than the quality of haircutting pe...More outrageous than the quality of haircutting personnel in the US are the prices. $14 for a bloody haircut?

Hairdressers (barbers had been banned in 1921) insisted that anything that hadn't been modelled by some ponce out of Spandau Ballet was <I>"nekrasivo"</I> (ugly).<BR/><BR/>I managed to get something approaching a number 2 in the Metropole Hotel, where staff had been specially trained to act like No Good Boyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859104068516964533noreply@blogger.com
