    Most if not all 'Turkish' barbers in Southport are not actually from Turkey - they are from Kurdistan

From the information I have been given, I believe the Turkish Barbers only need to have the prerequisites of car valeting or picker packing and the experience of practising the hair cut on one another.

    "Text whose content is difficult to understand and would need a translation" No. Overseas people commonly come from a country with a foreign language which they use to communicate with each other - this needs to be translated into English.

    "You've included a photo of what looks like Kim Jong-un" It is indeed Kim Jong 'un sporting that same hairstyle. It is a style that used to be given to many young boys during the last war, when families could not afford to pay for a hair cut. It is the most simple of haircuts known as the Pudding Bowl cut, where a mother would place a pudding bowl over her son's head and cut round the hair. Today's cuts are almost the same but with a longer quiff added on the top, several with bleached hair - much favoured by the LGBT group.

    Thanks for that gem.

    For a moment, I thought you were quoting from that list to which I provided a link, on post #33 of this thread.

    It's easy to see why you were such a success in your work as a pastoral counsellor in schools.

    I'm unsure to whom you were saying "No." before delivering your said elaboration above...

    ...but maybe you've started to talk to yourself, started to correct yourself - a behaviour for which I commend you. Your "stamina" can be put to good use .


    You've helped define your chatter about the "gay hairstyle" by explaining that this is the "only cut" that Turkish barbers will do - further elaborating that "the modern male haircut sported now by young men is the same style as that worn by many women." The only photo you have provided is of Kim Jong-un! And now you are adding that the said "gay hairstyle" is a development of what was given to "many young boys during the last war."

    Holy Incredible Batman! This is sounding as convoluted an origin story as what must be the one regarding the nineteen year old girl taking over the role of Superman.

    I don't recall reading that story.

    "...eastern picker packers..." They were from Ipswich?

    "...three eastern picker packers..." Three mysterious visitors from the East loading up with presents? Was this in late December?

    It's difficult to conceive of a training provider who would concur with your belief, by declaring that prerequisites of being a Turkish Barber include car valeting and picker packing.

    I guess we should be grateful that the Turkish Baths in Southport closed in the 70s.

    I heard that it was frequented by mysterious men speaking exotic languages. You had to keep your wits about you in the cooling room. If you got too relaxed and dozed off, you might wake up with a gay hairstyle. On the plus side, you never had hairy ears.

    Ha ha - my previous employer had a chief exec who wasn't very worldly wise and made enquiries about a staff scheme at the local health club - http://chariots.co.uk/vauxhall. Maybe he just thought that us impoverished charity workers needed the free "lube and condoms".

    Though I do wonder what can be done with breaking news stories such as "Soil tipped out of plant pots again."

    If there's doubts about the standard of journalism on this site, then the seeds of the solution reside within this thread, and many, many others.

    The addition needed to the news team would need to live in the area, and have time on their hands.

    It would need to be someone with an absolutely prolific post rate, who it seems is available all day long, with no commitments, who could switch from the forum to the news desk.

    There they would pep up the reportage, as they do not let the facts of a matter restrict their controversial opinions.

    I nominate an apprenticeship for "said" .

    I do think said would make an ace news team apprentice (so long as his rota did not impinge on the schedule of his morning milk round job). I'm certain a flexible working arrangement could be agreed .

    From viewing his profile I see:-

    So, a local resident who is also a prolific poster. Tick and tick. Confirmed.

    I am confused as to why the 20th of February 2018 is given as the start date for said. A poster called said was posting long before that date. Until that account was, without given reason, downgraded to a guest account.

    For example, there are a couple of posts by said on grassroots's "Christmas GTG" thread from mid to late December (probably around the same time those three mysterious warehouse workers from Ipswich were visiting and stocking up on presents in the Foregate Street branch of Boots.)

    Comments made by said (Guest account status) on that open invite "Christmas GTG" thread include the following excuses:

    And more confusing is how you managed to console your 6 known sociopathic brothers with anger issues, who gave a combined 102 years of service to the British army (with ex armed forces personnel / veterans often being subject to a very high incidence of PTSD and homelessness), and how you managed to console your sister, given none of these 7 siblings of yours presumably had the good fortune, as you did, to inherit a property.
