Title: Follically Challenged?
Post by: Pitchfork on 21 February 2010, 20:05:33
So how many members on the forum are bald or balding?
How old were you when hair loss first started?
Do you now shave your head to disguise the fact?

Me too.  But my younger brother is losing his hair quite rapidly now.  ;D ;D ;D

My wife was 60 last year and hardly any of her hair has has turned grey, despite being married to me for 35 years.  Both of her brothers are bald, though. ;D ;D ;D

If my hair starts to go, I'll invest in a (cheap) wig.  I can't abide the thought of a polished pate. :(

Last weekends 2004 bordeaux premier cru was just pure bliss!

Weekend before that a fantastic argentinian malbec

.....this one......hmmm so so.... I think I need to go back to my (online) dealer instead of tescos  ;D ;D

Oh and australian reds are in trouble avoid in the next couple of years, not enough water to keep the crop upto scratch.  Result: quite a sour grape so I guess the popular brands will be blended with some french grapes......

if you dont beleive me that 'australian' wine can come from france:

Thankfully, as I approach 52 years of age, I have a full head of hair with just a smatterring of grey.  Chin is now more grey than brown/red though.   Distinguished, she calls it.  Lucky, says I....   ;D
