OH MY GAWD I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD HAPPEN TO ME.
Listen to this then, been to the doc's just now just this sec and here's what he said...
... NO MORE BUTTTER - EVER, or else.
Ahhhhhggggggggg, I love butter, I mean I really love it, really really really. There's nothing, nothing tastier, NOTHING !
I have to start tomorrow otherwise my hair's gonna fall out. He said I can continue to eat it but if I do, I will be bald,
"The choice is yours," he says.
That's not a choice is it ?
I would make a very bad bald man, I don't have the right shaped head for it or the right chin, or the right skin colour. Round faced dark skinned blokes look great bald, better than they do with hair for the most part but wirey red and otherwise pasty ginger blokes look dreadful.
So that's it then, oh and no more cheese either, behind butter CHEESE is the second best thing in the world. Chocolate is also on the list but I can live without that, sure I like it but if I never have a piece again that won't bother me but CHEESE and BUTTER and BUTTER and CHEESE. this is serious.
Eight hours and four minutes left of butter and cheese heaven.
Make way I'm heading for the food hall if i'm not back by five put E.L.O.'s OUT of THE BLUE on and I'll pick up when i get back.

I can't believe it's no butter (ha ha ha - see what I did there).
He is taking the piss, seriously! What links hair loss to Butter? or Cheese? My son loves both of them and he has head full. (Of Hair, Not Cheese).
Maybe you misheard him, maybe he said, "if you keep eating butter, you will die of high chlorestra and high blood pressure and fat? " Could it have been that?
Listen, you only live once. I just heard that an acquaintance of mine, who jogged three days a week to off-set his three days drinking had an accident and died. Now he enjoyed life, mad jogging, and mad drinking, but it didn't stop an accident. Enjoy your butter and your cheese. You'll still be loved, hair or no hair!

Oh Christophle! I cry 'for shame!' I too have been given the death knell for all things butter, cheese and animal fat...bang goes crackling too...
I haven't noticed any particular loss about the noggin though. I'd say you are totally correct in your observation regarding those with shiny pates. Not sure if it should suit you Sir, or not...although I AM sure that if the loss were to happen, you'd carry it off with panache. And possibly in a carrier bag. I reckon young Heston has it sewn up. Both with the pate and a wig...
Gall stones doncha know

Am thinking of moving to Greece as am allowed olive oil...and a bit of feta won't hurt (too much) if taken with vast quantities of water...extra virgin...
Oh CLP, mon petite!!! Now you know what it's like for us lardy laydeeez! I'm off of all things delish (apart from Mr Diva, of course!). Man - am I missing my stilton, brie, butter ... but the weight is shifting.
So lardy lump with brimming belly or svelte siren. No contest really!
Get back to growing your own - try butternut squash mashed with lots of black pepper or chilli flakes. Can't beat it.
Good luck chumberley!

Ah NO Christoffe!!
Jayzus if my doctor tells me I'll be bald this time next week if I cut out the butter 'e'd be on the business end of a Wigan Kiss, 'e can bugger off if 'e thinks I'm spreadin' that zinc and castor oil stuff on me toast.
And as for the skimmed milk, I'd rather drink calamine lotion.
A bit of what you fancy does you good, so said my old Granny. Mind you, she was in Winwick at the time and she'd just fed dog biscuits to the nurses.
Listen yous big gorgeous (once) ginga hunk of handsomeness. If yous was bald, fat and squinted like a basket of whelks I'd still give yous a right good kissin'. And so would yer missus and she's bloody gorgeous. So stop fratchin'.
Bless you.

Yes I'm working through the alphabet...
Dr Scary Hairy - I hope you didn't pay them for that advice!
Get the Hairy Bikers on your show and tell them no butter and cheese!!
Chris! Oh good grief! Now, I don't eat cheese, but I do like butter. Having said that, in moderation.
What on earth is the connection with one's hair and butter/cheese?! Fascinating!
Enjoy your last day of these tasty treats, but knowing you (well, of course I DON'T know you, but you know what I mean!) you will just accept this and move on. I completely agree, better to hold on to your hair.
I remember reading an interview with you some time ago and you said you had stopped drying your hair with a towel, after a shower. So obviously this has been an ongoing situation for a while.
We will love you whether or not you have a hair on your head, but you do what you have to do.
Happy Thirsty Thursday to everyone ..... see, we all have something we have to deal with in life!
C xx
Oh my goodness Chris that is bad news! Not about you being bald because you are gorgeous anyway, but to go without butter and cheese!!
Now that you have been told you shouldn't have it you will want it even more........
Having said that, you have survived 41yrs and 6mths with the lashings of butter the delightful Mummy Evans puts on her toast then what the hell, reach for the lurpak......that would be my advice!
You could always do an Elton John and have some hair transplants!
Everything in moderation, live for today Chris!
Lots of love

Why will butter make you bald? (Or is that a silly question?)
Butter or hair - it's a tricky one.
I've got a full head of hair but I'm very grey and have to have it coloured every 5 weeks. I am so jealous of people older than me who don't have a grey hair on their head. I've been colouring it since I was 16, God knows how much I've spent on dye (it can't be very good for me either, the things we girlies do for vanity).
Chris i much prefer your hair the colour it is now than when it was very red, it really suits you so if I were you I'd try and hang on to it.
Em xx
WHY????????
Does this mean the same for all gingembres, or people in general.
Oh well, you could always wear a hat?
Don't think I could give either up. What a dilemma?
KWx
That is so un canny - my friend was told the exact same sort of thing yesterday, beer, bread, pasta, cheese, processed meat etc etc - yeast/glocose intolerant I think is the term. He's a pint & sausaage roll man; absolute killer - so adjustment to the finer cuts will be required.
I’m feeling surprisingly bright myself though, today as I’d normally have a glass of wine or 3 on a Wed to stave off the flus & colds that normally creep in midweek. I’m also looking top notch today – new suit, crisp white shirt and expensive bright blue tie – along with a new pair of brown Barkers and matching belt, I’m ready for any woman that cares to throw herself across my path this morning - I’d send you a photo but I’d be afraid of the website it’d end up on.
I was chatting with my cat Madison last night on the vagaries of life and we came to the conclusion that the boys at Talk Talk got it right back in 1986 – life really is what you make it, (don’t backdate it). And when the sun rears his full face, of an autumnal morn, a felling of goodwill and peace to all men shepherds us weak, past the valley of darkness and gets the ol’ Irish eyes ‘a smiling again. Life is good and the rails are back on.
Thirsty Thursday though today - traditionally the weekend eve; - and half-celebratory in a sense, for those of us who look at a half-full glass with a smile. Fillet mignons are relaxing in the fridge and a cheeky little Shiraz is getting changed in the cellar – an eve in the Belfast setting sun beckons, staring at the river Lagan and thinking of good times, laughter and cheer.
Have a great new diet . . the butter-free crusty bread is on Lammie Pie . . .
CLP - I really feel for you. Why is it always the things we love most that are the most damaging to us?
I adore tomatoes and peppers and apparently that's really bad for those who have a tendancy towards arthritis.
My gorgeous dog absolutely adores fat but his stomach cannot take it and he has to have a fat restricted diet.
Bizarre...

You will get used to no butter its all fatty lardy stuff anyway I much prefer warm Ciabatta with a bit of olive oil nowadays But Flora will do if I am in a hurry. As for cheese well I have tried. I gave up fags, I go to the gym I only drink 3 days a week now and Rarely eat chips but cheese is still on the menu so I am still a big fat slob relatively speeking. The real scary thing is when the doc asks if you......? and systematically names all the bad things for you and you answer no, never not for 10 years. Then you know your gonna die and there is nothing left to give up aaahhhhhhhh..

Chris, you have got me really worried now.Why would eating butter, cheese, milk and chocolate make you go bald?? I am going thin on top and I have been thinking of ways to help combat it i.e. extra vitamin b and so on. But packing in milk and chocolate would be impossible. What is in dairy products which is so bad for the mop? Can anyone help explain, i don't want to be a baldy tefal man.
Chris thats awful. How about Margarine are you aloud that. I'd be ok with that but couldn't cope if your not aloud.
Just explain how we got on the topic of Christmas on yesterdays blog? I just looked back and suddenly we are talking about it!
Em M- I like you love the lights. They are so pretty and I could buy millions of little decorations! With regards to the pressies. For children, they only get small pressents and this year I am knitting them all hats.
I have really started to cut down on buying pressies for people I never see.
Today I went to Chapelfield for a little shop. My last really time to buy stuff I need before the xmas pressie madness. Then will make a proper start and make the list of people to buy for in a couple of weeks. At least should have the fella to drag round with me and carry the bags!!!
Cheryl you D.I.V.A- well done on the weight loss you hunny. Thats an amazing and a really good time to do it. I always look forward to living on soup when it gets cold so I always loose a little weight. My friend who wanted to loose weight and was fed up of those clubs decided to get all the booklets etc and then her boyfriend would weigh her once a week and keep a chart for her and she would give him £2 a week then when she got to her target, he gave all the money back so she could buy new clothes!
By the way 63 days to go!!!!!!!! ARGH!!
Love to you all, missy xxxx
I have just had a thought? The french eat a lot of cheese and butter and you rarely see a baldy frenchman.
I cannot believe this is accurate information. I have B12 deficiency and at times my hair has been falling out. Look on the web and you will find information that for healthy hair B12 is essential. What is it found in? Animal products, namely milk, cheese, eggs etc. Surely then, if you give all these up then your hair might fall out not stay in!!! If you give these products up then you might have to take a supplement. Be careful changing your diet drastically and get another opinion. Unless there are other factors it doesn't make sense! It sounds all a load of follicles!
You are such a positive person and exude life and vitality I am sure your hair will last and last!!
Good Luck! Jill
Do what?
Never heard of that one before.
Mind you, as a hairy bloke, if I up the cheese quota, will I end up with one of those baby-oilable fluff-free bodies that you only ever see at fashion shows?
I'm never sure about this eat this, don't eat that stuff. A mate of mine used to enjoy a bit of everything, a few beers and the odd ciggie, then got married to a girl who soon had him on every diet going and a bucket full of pills and supplements every day.
He is forever ill these days.
A little of what you fancy, that's what I say.
Hey ho. ARF tomorrow, a snazzy little Bondesque sports car for the weekend and lunch at The M on Sunday.
Fantastico.
Peace & love

Christy, Jayssssuuuuuuussssssssss, no butter or cheese??????? Jayyyyysssssssuuuuuuussssss, as you may have gathered from my toast post during the week I LOVE butter, i use it in loads of cooking and I love cheese too specially anything with blue veins, Im off that at the mo cos of the bump, but as soon as whats in there comes out Im having a big hunk of stilton and a nice smelly runny cambozola, I couldnt do with out my stilton infused with Port at crimbo!!!
But if the doc says it has to be so, I guess it has to be so, have you tried seeking a second opinion??
oooops just remembered my toast post got lost in cyber space when the blog was ill during the week, but it involved lots of butter!
Christophe,
Feeling for you in that post, my friend.
Never heard that hypothesis - although, sounds like it's a full-blown theory now!!
They say one man's food is another man's poison (was it Plato?)...well, apparently, it's the same for women too. I had to have a dairy-free diet for a while (still not brave enough to have cow's milk (maybe tomorrow)......no, seriously - it was like a poison for me. I can thoroughly recommend M&S dairy free (butter-esque) spread - not bad at all - and it's not just any old spread, it's your M&S spread mate.
Mrs E (Jnr) (and Snr) will love you whatever your barnet looks like..........carry on with the butter and cheese.....: )

How nice to start Friday with a picture of MfR covered in baby oil...skydiving naked though...chafeage?
Good morning ALL!
Yay, just back from happy hols yesterday and it's Friday already. Excellent how that works.
Anyhoo, slept like a log last eve, so definitely up for a great weekend...will start with ARF I think...and can find NO information ANYWHERE that relates butter to baldie...
And to assuage an old wives tale...if you put butter on a cat's paws to stop it running off...all it'll do is lick them clean...and go away anyway...the addition of butter to a cat's paws has absolutely NOTHING to do with why they don't have hair on their pudds.
purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The baby oil keeps the chafeage to a minimum.
A good nights kip makes a heck of a difference.
Good to hear you are well.

Poor you CLP, I saw that advert where everybody is eating cheese on toast this morning and thought of you!
We had a lovely dinner last night, lamb steaks with a bit of home made mint sauce. Have got a ready made supermarket lasagne in the fridge for tea tonight but really not excited about it. What are you guys having for tea tonight, I need some inspiration........
Hazel, I never quite got the butter on cats paws thing. It's supposed to stop them running away isn't it but how?
Hope you all have a brill weekend. As little man is fascinated by castles at the moment we plan to take him to Warwick Castle on Sunday. Hope this weather holds out until then.
I know that I have mentioned Mr Debbie and my various difficulties over the past months so I just want to say that things are really actually ok at the moment. Yep, we are doing just fine.
Love Debbie x
Hazel Love- god knows where I got 63 days from but its actually 80 days till Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx
Am getting very fed up with not being able to blog ... GRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Christophe, I'm with Clodagh - I'd snog ya even if you were a baldy - my man is a baldy and he's YUM!!! Does that mean no whipped cream either????
Hazel, welcome back. I slept like a log too - dreaming of men in uniform! what a fab topic for next girls night out? One man, one hour, one uniform, what would you have???? Genius!!
Debbie/Hazel - when I moved I put cream on my cats' paws when we first arrived. Got cream all over the carpet, then realised it should be on the top of the paw rather than the pad - d'oh! Think it's cos they associate the yummy taste with their new environment perhaps!?
Lovely day, happy ARF everyone :-)

Hey Tinsel, what's all this talk about snogging, whipped cream and men in uniform? If that's what a good nights kip does for you, early night for me....

Hi Chris
I take it you are like me and lactose intolerant then! I still eat well and just buy lacto free products, most big supermarkets have them. I get the farts really really bad if I eat something that has dairy products in especially fresh cream cakes. My friends have turned it into a bit of joke and we have farting competitions (which I win of course!). Wait until Christmas gets here and you can't have custard and cream with the xmas pud.
Morning, morning... Blimey - it's 1pm already! Another hair raising day (sorry - couldn't help it CLP) in Sammie Town.
In fact, the day has gone at such a pace already, that I feel as though I've been on the Waltzers!
Time to eat I think.
I'll be back later to read and post more (Because I can today!), but just now, food beckons...
S xx.
P.S. Smile, it's Friday AND the sun's shining!
Odd really. Not one dream that I remember, but I had some right doozies on holiday! Eating late and too much gin probably. Father Christmas putting some snow down a chimney to stop it being too hot...that kind of thing...
Anyhoo. A Fireman. Always a Fireman. And he can't be a strip-a-gram...he'd have to be a get-dressed-a-gram. No uniform = no interest. Or MfR in a naked skydivers strappings. There's a thought indeed! Verra interesting, Mr Bond...
...and in the interests of status quo (down down other songs available) I have endeavoured to find out where the buttered paws thing comes from (This is not to be confused with buttered nuts as previously described by CtD) and got precisely nowhere. I did however, find this...
I hope you will enjoy my efforts.

Tinsel, was it whipping cream?
Debbie, glad things are now going well for you. It does a body good sometimes to get rid of stuff to people you don't know! Xisses
Missy, thanks for that! I made it 82, but then I got interrupted, and then my arm ached from counting days on the big wall calendar. Makes no odds, it ain't long away! Mind you, we have Hallow E'en, Guy Fawkes Night, Alice Cooper and My Birthday before then...and Lyndyloo's 40th...and Gaby's...and probably about fifty gazillion other people.
ps has anyone seen my Brazilian Wolf Spider. Could've sworn it was here just a minute ago...
I am so loving this blog today, I can't stop laughing. Now I'm reading about naked sky-diving and buttered nuts, I love it!!
I have nothing against bald men at all by the way, except that I used to work for a man that insisted that his bald patch was a solar panel for a s3x machine. Totally took his word for that.

Afternoon gang.
Apologies for my absence this morn - I've been on an HR training course then as I was driving back dahn the A14 my lovely boss rang and advised me that they were going to the local pub for lunch and that I should pop in and join them. So, I got to work at almost half 2 this afternoon and now in just over an hour I'll be gong home for t'weekend!
I had a bowl of penne pasta for lunch and it was really rich. Problem is, me and Mr Diva are eating out tonight with the table booked for an early 6.30 as we're off somewhere afterwards. He'll be very impressed when I order light - I won't tell him I'm still full of pasta, I'll just tell him I'm being good to my diet!! LOL!!!
The fella has decided not to work this weekend, which is nice. He wants to go to the local zoo but I might try and persuade him to go to Ji**ys Farm with me as its their monthly farmers market tomorrow.
Right dearies - have FANTASTIC weekend all round. Better do some work before home time!
Love and stuff

Our Baz won't be hearin' siren calls or anythin' else for a day or two, given the hard slap rount t' back of 'is ear I gave 'im last night.
I was in sunny Knutsford as I went with the said squirrel-chaser's missus to see, or rather, listen to Germaine Greer at a literary lecture thingy.
What a woman.
And Debbie. Excellent. I'm so pleased and happy for you that things appear to be on the right road. Keep up the communication and give 'im a slap now and again, hurrah!
Kissy kissy.
That's HL and Debbie, not you Bingo. You're on the slap list.

Looks like you have a choice!!!
Ginger/Bald, Butter & Cheese/ No Dairy
Is there a choice?
chris growing old makes us loose hair anyway sowhy wory and any way ithought you were a radiodj so why wory your great personalite is enough ahd even if its not wipe away youre tears with another 50 quid note
Hi Chris, I think you should stop eating these two items. I love butter and cheese so much myself, I´m telling you, BUT think of monks and starving people everywhere (Africa, India, China, South America) - they´ve got something more important to care for. They firstly want to survive, which you in the end WILL, with or without your hair.
P.S. I love to listen to your show!
Hi Chris,
I hope that you had a lovely honeymoon.
As a fully qualified trichologist, medical doctor and hair transplant surgeon, I don't think butter has anything to do with male pattern hair loss.
Since I've heard Chris talk about his hair loss on numerous occassions recently, it's probably about time he came for consultation!
There are a number of things you can do about hair loss which are WELL PROVEN. But, they all work better Before you ose too much.
Check out the options and decide if they are appropriate for you.
