Hi all.
I've decided that while we're going through this Covid-19 Lockdown madness, I'll try and do a little something to make you laugh, and to raise some money for a good cause.
Those who've known me for a while, will know that I used to have fairly crazy hair, a few years ago now I cut my hair, raised, a bit of money to the little Princess Trust, and donated the hair for a wig too.
So tonight, at 7pm, I plan to take a reference measurement; Then open a sweepstake, £5.00 a pop, winner gets £100, and anything above the pot goes to Brads Cancer Foundation.
The idea is, you pay your £5.00 with a guess, obviously, if anyone guesses the same, then I'm afraid you'll share the pot.
Now for the amusing bit..
My hair doesn't grow just long, it grows out.. and not gracefully.

Before I set up the sweepstake, I'd just like an idea of how many people would be in?

Do we get to design your new haircut? I did that once, raised £50 and ended up with a mohawk
I'll join in as well if you want - I need a haircut
I've got £65.00 of commitment so far and not even started with the folks at work..
So it looks like this will be a goer 🙂

I'm in a customer facing role now dealing with execs, so no, sorry :D, it'll be a boring short back and sides when it gets cut again.
I'm in.
Sod the excess. They will appreciate what you are doing.
I vote for a side mohican for a month 🤣
I'll update with images when I'm home, we've had to do a quick shop as we're out of some essentials.
The reference measurement is 94mm.. it's not a scientific accurate measurement, it's done with a ruler and some paper.
My long suffering wife will be measuring it again only when we are told we can go back to some sense of normality.
She's going to use the same technique and ruler, but if you're splitting hairs over it.. well don't enter..
Friends and family with your guess in mm to David DOT dorson AT Gmail DOT com please, with your guess and probably your forum name.. might help.

The skullet so STW it hurts.
So we are to guess the length after the cut?
have some pictures of the measuring shenanigans and my morning look..

We men (who have female partners) can all have a fun game (no nasty consequences I'm sure) having a bet with our partners on what colour their hair really is.

It's getting past taming now.
Quick recap.
Hair is currently around 94mm.

Correct guess wins £100.00
More than one correct guess gets an even split of the money between correct guesses
Anything above £100.00 raised goes to Brads Cancer Foundation.
You're guessing the length of my hair, once social distancing measures in the UK are lifted, and I can cut my hair again.
My son gave himself a Ronaldo haircut last night like this (much to the disappointment of his mother and grandparents)
Done
I still think the winner should get to choose a comedy haircut for you 🙂
