Quite literally a weight off my mind! :)
 

The picture pretty much says it all - that's what's left of the 24" of hair I've just had lopped off! :woot:

Half my female friends will now be rejoicing while the other half will want to string me up for it! :laugh: I'm sorry Erin but it had to be done.

I'll post a pic of what it looks like when I've had time to style it properly.

You did what?!!!!! :|

:O!! i am shocked.

This is the 'before'. A few months before to be precise, so it was even longer than in the photo.

Oh my god. The less weight on your head the less there is to stop it getting even bigger. =/

:-p

&& take your time - you were gonna do that about a year ago!

And this is now

Yeah yeah yeah... More like a few months! :tongue2:

Believe it or not today was the first real opportunity I've had to do it.

i hate you now dom....

long haired men <3

i will have to stop fox from cutting his now :|

lol

I couldn't even picture him with short hair

I have seen pics of him with short hair but last year he lost hair and a bald patch formed...

the hair grew back and is much shorter than the rest and wants to cut his hair so the short bits dont piss him off :|

dom are you one of these guys who grows his hair coz he cba to get it cut? it looks good, i like long hair but it can get too much. at least you can be in and out of the shower now, takes only a few secs to wash and will dry naturally a lot quicker.

less time styling too... dear dear what are you going to do to fill up the rest of your 5hr beauty regime?
mand x

Ten times longer to style now actually, and it takes a skip load of products to do so - all I had to do before was brush and tie it back. Although that only took a few seconds, it was balanced out by taking over an hour to wash and dry.

I never actually meant for it to get quite that long. I either never found the opportunity to get it cut or something happened to push it down the priority list. As you can see, that went on for quite some time...

Oh









My









God.









You short hair galoot, you are in SO much trouble now Mister. Just you wait until I get my hands on you, young man. You will be sorry you even THOUGHT about cutting off your hair. A dagger. A dagger in my heart.







ps the short hair does look kinda dashing though. :)

Aahhh Dom.... I think it looks great!!!!

You look better with short hair, it really suits you.

Awww thanks

I guess I can actually get away with short hair now I don't have an 18" neck... It used to make me look like a bit of a thug

"Galoot" is an old word used in Scotland that means a person with an ungainly, cumbersome, and clumsy personality (eg. "ouch! ...ya big galoot, watch where yer goin' !" )
'Galoot' is a word used by the cartoon character Yosemite Sam - he frequently refers to Bugs Bunny as a 'idjut lop-eared galoot'.

Within Internet-based woodworking communities, a galoot is a handtool aficionado, specifically old handtools (antique tools). This is contrasted with users of any hand tools who are called neanderthals in a number of internet woodworking communities. For many, the two terms are interchangeable. In this context, a galoot or neanderthal is one who hunts used hand tools and/or insists on using hand tools in preference to power tools, especially hand planes. Galoots may also champion tools that others would consider a lost cause, lovingly restoring a rusted or damaged tool by sanding, scraping, lapping, or using electrolysis to remove rust and repairing or replacing parts required to restore the tool to a usable state.
The galoot community includes, but is not restricted to, collectors of old tools. The only qualification for being a galoot is a love of hand tools (especially older hand tools) and a willingness to admit that this love may seem odd or unexplainable to others. By extension, galoots are often interested in old methods of achieving wood or metal work. For example, it is not uncommon for a galoot to create a replacement tool handle with a spokeshave, to resaw a plank with a frame saw, or even to forge and temper his or her own chisels.
Many galoots hold Roy Underhill, of the PBS series The Woodwright's Shop, in extremely high regard and may refer to him with the shorthand "St. Roy".

Galoot is a left-recursive acronym which means "Galoots are lovers of old tools". alternate definition; "Gregarious Association of Lovers Of Old Tools"
The Galoots are also a band from Fort Lauderdale, FL
