   Aagh! Gillian, I thought that too! For a split second I thought "Oh, do we have to have Clarkson on the blog?"!

   Please Eric, don't do it!

   Big Sis, you are a very, very bad girl today!

    Jonnie - NOOOOOOOO! Never Jeremy Clarkson! Eddie's, well, much much too dashing, svelte, sophisticated, and nice for that. And certainly not Dale Winton.

    There have been a few suggestions for petitiions today. Can we make "Please Eric, don't get the Becks hairdo" a priority?

    Silver-Fox (17) Hahahaha!

    Maybe I should set up in the 'makeover' business. Perhaps I could even do a makeover on Clarkson (?!)

    So, what hairstyle for Eric, then? Suggestions welcomed.

    Less is more, Eddie, we love you just the way you are. Good pic though - have you thought about adopting the Beckham headband look as well?

    just wanna give a big up to the moderators tonight.

    I've posted 3 (4?) times tonight and the things come up really quickly. and kinda irrelevant as noone's reading but still really good service!!

    just wanted to put something positive up about moderation.

    As far as any service level agreement is concerened they're obviously on top of it tonight.

    And just as obviously their SLAs aren't concerned by quality.

    thankfully

    I think it was very brave of Mr Mair to post that, although I don't see how a passing reference to a resemblance to Mr Clarkson can be anything other than flattering.

    Admin:

    I agree wholeheartedly with you that he was most brave to post it.

    It's one of Eddie's great qualities that he has a great sense of humour, and I think he understood that no malice was intended.

    But, Admin, I could never regard any comparison with Mr. Clarkson as flattering.

    Well as I see the photo, poor old Eddie looks as though Jeremy Clarkson has driven over his forehead with a particularly muddy 4x4. Otherwise, what IS all that brown stuff?

    And is this really the latest hairstyle for the fashion icon that is D Beckham? How come I hear (& see) more about him on this blog than anywhere else? Just what are those magazines lying round the PM office? Surely not "Hello" "O K" & the like?

    As I'm reading the Blog backwards (as usual) I seem to be having even more difficulty understanding what's going on. My divinations show that Big Sis is giving everyone a makeover? Yes? No?
    Perhaps I'd better process further back to make sense, how many threads were there today?

    Val - frankly, I think if the above is an example of Big Sis's makeover skills, she won't have many more clients queueing up for the service! It's not everyone, just Eddie, in response to one of his wilder flights of fancy in the "Shall I change my hair?" series he trots out every so often for the blog. I think the answer is pretty obvious, don't you?

    I can think of only one thing that would be worse than being 'made over' to look like Clarkson: That would be having a transplant of his "personality".

    Good point, Appy, good point! But he also looks so ..... flacid, doesn't he? Not sharp like Eddie.

    No, never, ever compare Eddie with Clarkson. I could even relinquish my pacifist tendencies in that cause!

    I haven't seen Becks modelling it... but it just looks like a good old-fashioned comb-over to me!!

51. At 02:07 AM on 01 Apr 2007, Aperitif wrote:

    Sis (48), I think the cause of the similarity (having given it further consideration just now) was that the hairline you have given Eric in this 'ere picture is very low, which makes his forehead look short and his face look long. Now this may be a natural effect of putting a Beckham on a Mair, but it alters ones perception to make him seem less like himself and more like someone-vaguely-familiar-with-a-short-forehead-and-long-face. Clarkson is the ultimate in 'short-forehead-and-long-face', so, on first glance, my brain tried to make sense of the image and grasped at that. I wouldn't for one moment suggest that Eric looked anything like Clarkson under any other circumstance.

    Does this explanation go far enough to ensure that the not-so-vague threat of violence is withdrawn??? :-)

    'Flacid' is an excellent word or Clarkson, btw.

    Appy: Your explanation makes total sense. I did, incidentally, when doing Eddie's makeover, study the shape of his head in relation to Beck's and tried to get it right.... but I think if Eddie DID try the style for himself, he'd be wise to go for a shorter fringe.

    Glad you liked the Clarksonian adjective. And, you may be sure, it would take a great deal to make me violent! :o)
