Driving home from last night's ride, the conversation somehow turned to Chwis Packham (of Really Wild Show, Autumn/Winter/Spring/Summer/Kate Humble Watch) and one of the lads recounted, with some authority, that Chwis had nerves in his hair which meant he couldn't get it cut without excruciating pain.
After I'd picked myself out of the footwell of the car and stopped laughing, I decided to Google to see where this ridiculous story came from and it seems that others have heard this too!
How on earth would a tale like this become so widely accepted??? On one website, it claims he needs general anesthetic for his hair cuts!
(LOL) 😉
🙂
Some people will believe all sorts of old pony...
I was going to question your spelling of 'Bear', and ask what bearing the bear had on the story, but after a quick google, it appears you are correct, and I have been spending the last 30 odd years suggesting that people get naked with me!
Oops
Sometimes these things are written/said in jest and if the idea is popular they get repeated enough that they end up getting repeated out of context of the joke and somehow become 'true'. The pub fact that Bob Holness played sax on Baker St (frinstance) traces back to Stuart Marconie. It was just one of a list of comedy made up facts in an article but somehow that one stuck.

like religion ..
An old girlfriend once told me that Lucy Lawlwss (Zena) was the daughter of Blackie Lawless bass palyer of W.A.S.P. she got very upset when I laughed like a drain.
Not in the same league as Chwis's hair nerves but made me chuckle.
I actually remember him saying that on TV when i was a kid (when he did the really wild show there was some question and answer section where you could write in questions)
I would have been about 8 at the time and assumed then it was just a joke to explain his spikey hair...cant believe all these years later people still believe it 😀
some people believe we live in a democracy 😯
At school we convinced one of my best friends that a horse was indeed a chicken.
Luckily she still laughs about it now.
I suppose it's akin to Richard Gere's love of rodents and Prince/Marilyn Manson/Marc Almond's rib removal.
OrmanCheep, I'm both happy and a little sad to have been of assistance!
I had a boss who always asked if I'd had general anesthetic whenever I got my hair cut. I can imagine why Chwis might make such a joke, amazed it stuck for all these years though!
