BAR STAFF REQUIRED... NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED JUST LOTS OF HAIR.

Chris Evans | 15:09 UK time, Monday, 28 April 2008

Went out with the Mrs. and a pal for a few beers on Saturday night and all I saw behind the bar was...

hair. Loads of it, the kids serving had so much hair, more hair than I think I saw in the whole of my youth.

And here's the thing - they had no idea. They were not aware of the blessing that was atop their noggins. Hair to kids is like oil used to be to us, we just thought it would go on for ever.

The more I stared at them the bigger their hair seemed to become. I swear at one point it spilled over the bar in an attempt to join the Saturday night shenanigans

I think the kids of G.B. are becoming much hairier. Sure there was hair in the sixties and seventies and mullets in the eighties, the nineties on the other hand was quite a cropped decade. Tne naughties though has seen a whole new magnitude of hair, kids hair now just grows out, very big and very out. Don't you think ?

In other news, looked forward tothe grand prix all weekend, in fact for the most of last week if the truth be told, then when it came to it, completely lost interest no more than five minutes in. What's that about ?

Enzo still with us but we all need to say a big doggy prayer for his right back leg which is still as dead as dodo. Come on El Enzio !

Right, must go but really could write all day today.

sEE YOU ON THE RADIO.

    CLP - forget F1 and try motorbike racing instead. The World Superbikes from Assen this weekend were stunning - they overtake and everything. Even fall off some times. And break things.

    This weekend it's the Moto GP from China - c'mon James Toseland - you can do it!! There might also be British Superbikes on the calendar but I'm not at home to check that out right now.

    Honest, CLP .... give Moto GP a try. I promise you will be hooked.

    Afternoon all.

    I love a hairy man - but give me body hair (not on back tho) over head hair any day.

    Grand prix - you lost interest after 5 mins because ITS BORING!!!

    Enzo - come on boy, you can make it. If worst comes to worst, 3 legs is do=able you know!

    Be Patient Christof.

    Dyldog took about 3 months for us to get to the position where we believed that he was good to go.

    Once he was, apart from a bit of a limp, (which I seriously think he played on) he was fine as and dandy.

    That being said, I'll send some Doggy Reiki to him tonight, cause I'm pure dead good at that!

    Problem with yesterdays F1 was the start was pretty boring although I did sit through it (in between dashing in and out to rescue washing from rain). Not many finished and I think now some of the gizmos have gone, the cars are getting closer in performance.

    Wake up everybody I can hear you all yawning!!!

    Any road up - I don't care 'cos Kimi the Ice Man won!!

    There is very little that is actually more DULL than Formula One...in my opinion...before I get shot down in flames thank you MwK, Beesmum et al...

    DULL DULL DULL DULL DULL DULL

    It might get a bit more interesting on the Beebeeceeb if they bring back Fleetwood Mac. And that nearly rhymed! Or scanned. Or similar.

    I used to LOVE hair...still do I suppose...but the Badger only has very short hair, and very little body hair...but that's not for here...

    Christophe, I think the more you drink, the more alarming things seem...I also think that once you see one person with a broken leg, you see people with broken legs just about EVERYWHERE...so it may be that you've only just noticed the hair thing???

    Brazilian Grand Prix?

    |MMMMMMMM long hair, those were the days, long flowing locks, a beautiful woman by your side , running her fingers through it, headbanging to the beat of the Grand Prix at the weekend but YES i know what you mean bout the youth of todays hair growing up and out, WOW you can't miss it can you.

    As for the GP I know what you mean, it is just dull dull dull now , to easy for the drivers (although I know they do need a lot of skill and stamina) so many restrictions and rules, like everything these days.

    Anyhoooooooo Christoff, hear ya laterz on the radio.

    Hi Chris, I read that your hair is at i'ts best when you are 12 years old, what a shame that is as you wouldn't notice it, and then it starts to decline in your 20s so by the time we reach our 50s we shouldn't have any left, god life can be cruel!!!

    Greetings and Salutations from Vancouver, Canada,

    Just a brief offering to wish you all the finest of days. I hope and trust that everyone had a splendidly splendid weekend, enjoyed some uproariously good times and generally got the most our of whatever you indulged in.

    Just two weeks until my annual visit back home to Blighty and the excitement is positively palpable.

    Hazel'- Thank you for your kind overtures. It is delight to have the time to contribute and even more wonderful to have time to read the words of others.

    Take care and remember....

    Nostalgia isn't what it used to be....

    Hey Chris
    I watched the F1 and I must admit that Ferrari have killed the sport.
    Anyway, hope that Mondays Drivetime is as good as ever.

    Hair - Who told the Ice Man he could do that to his barnet - gone off him a bit now. My dear old Mum used to iron my long mane between pieces of brown paper to make it poker straight. Strange that's back in again.

    Hang on a tick CLP - give Enzo a chance - these things take time but I will twitch my nose to help things along. (it's a witch thing)!

    Listen up my friend. Grass doesn't grow on a busy street so don't fret.

    And. Yous has the glorious gingerness goin' on so a little goes a long way, hurrah. My GORgeous fabulous little 3 month old great-nephew Zak is a full-blown excellent Ginga, I'm delighted, he's simply edible and I want to devour him whenever I see him. You should see him with the glasses on....

    Now then, it's greetings from me from beautiful County Kildare, where I lost me shirt and a certain amount of dignity at Punchestown Races last Friday. I now have the dubious distinction of bein' on the receivin' end of the Larry Hagman leer, hurrah hurrah bless him. Well, ok so it was me hat that got the leer but I'm not proud, I'll take it. Yes, J.R. and Swellen were there in all their glory, marvellous.

    Therefore I'm off to light a candle in the local church for Renee, the prognosis isn't good so she needs all the positivity and prayers I can muster for her until I return next week.

    I shall also say one for Missus E. senior's continued recovery and Enzo's extremities and send them out through the ether.

    It's the Novena for Our Lady of Perpetual Help. All welcome. So I'd best wipe me feet.

She was probably wearing her pink polyester flares at the time too...this would be the same mum I am orf on hols with next week...and I wouldn't swap her for anyone else's...gawd bless 'er!

    ...and fairlyoddmother...I am right up there with you! Who wants scabs in their beer? Apart from the ones you get in a pint of Weirdstones Mucklebrown Skagge...usually as a matter of course...

    Now my colleague is organising a game of 'keepy-uppy' in the carpark for later.

    Clodagh - my thoughts are with you and Renee x

    Anyway, that's about it for me. I've only got today left at work this week and then Mr P and I are off to Cambridge for the weekend.

    aaaaah, the days of big hair...

    I've worked in two bars, the first time I had the 'Kevin Keegan' perm when I worked in a Norwich nightclub (which is now being turned into flats!!!) and the second time in France when I was sporting the 'Mick Hucknell' look - so it must've always been standard practice for barstaff?

    Erm, I've not really painted a good image of myself there have I?

    First poster I reckon was Ossie and Ricky taken from Roy of the Rovers when they signed for Spurs, but it coul've been the England team pic from Shoot mag, can't remember really.

    Have a good day everyone, twas #1 daughter's 11th bday yesterday, I went and sat at her mummy's grave at the exact time she was born and left her some flowers (didn't want her to miss out) was so sunny and peaceful. Daughter is still doing great, can't believe I have such a wonderful girl.

    Morning all :)

    It is right soggy round this neck of the woods. Been out to get my hair cut this morning and although I managed to run home in between downpours, the wind has blown my new do all over the place...

    I think I grew up in the wrong era... I know my first poster was Take That, in their dubious lycra and leather phase... Have had my own bad hair moments, although Big Hair was never my style. Thankfully the worst hairstyle never appears to have been documented thank goodness!

    Have only worked in one bar, got proposed to by an old gent after a few weeks working there ;) that was funny. Loved working there. Hair is funny these days, I saw a kid riding a bike the other day with a fringe so long I don't know how he could possibly see where he was going. All straightened out and hairsprayed so it didn't move at all when the wind whipped past. Got to be some kind of hazard, that...

    Right, gonna take all the advice and cut and paste this post until it goes through!

    take care all

    Hi everyone. Hows about this to get Choosday up and running .....

    I popped into a well known supermarket on the way to work this morning to buy a certain celeb mag (there's a feature on Ole Russ in La La Land and I simply couldn't wait until tonight to buy it for fear the local news agent may have sold out by then!!!) anyhooooooo, whilst browsing the mushrooms, as you do, a chap started staring at me in a rather bizarre way. I was just about to call security when he said my name and reminded me of his .... it was only my very best friends' first husband who I went to school with. We kind of lost touch after their marriage broke down and we've not seen each other for approx 18 years. He's really changed and it was lovely to briefly catch up. We've swapped emails and promised to meet for lunch - we both work in the same town - talk about small world!

    When I got to work, I rang best friend to inform her and she squealed my ear off, although not in a bad way. Which was good.

    Still in shock and looking forward to that catch-up!

    Sorry to waffle - I just had to share that with y'all.

    Raining here. I've got washing out 17 miles away. Hope it's sunny there!

    Love, hugs and long lost friends.

    Oooh ma gourd. Not too spooky at all. Was just this very last eve talking with the Badger about Herman's Hermits...his name was Peter Noone by the way Jen!

    ...and then talking just this very morning about being born in the wrong era. Not a problem usually for me as I have been reincarnated several times, but currently have yen to be lying in the sun being fed grapes or similar by delishus young man.

    There is a pic on the Daily Wail web site of Mr Hucknall with Hucknall junior...whilst not even remotely resembling Kevin Keegan (poster out of my brother's Shoot! mag and possibly the only time I have ever had any interest at all in football...) definitely carmine in hue...

    My first poster was of Cliff Richard. But that's not for here.
