I found this link from the Friends of English Magic page to a podcast several different writers being interviewed of a sort. I thought some of you might find it interesting.

* Warning, never unwittingly peer out of a window to spot someone and hit the corner of a shelf with your forehead. It leaves quite a lump. Thank goodness for fringes.

Lunatic fringes?!

Sudden moves usually lead to injuries- but you could have incorporated that into your Halloween costume...

Umm, not really fringe. Whatever you call the unbound hair that ends up being tucked behind your ears constantly. I use mine to hide behind and as a mossie net.

Well, a lunatic fringe would be more entertaining.

You just wish you had a fringe.

If you can't work out I won't tell you.

You're just jealous. Oh the joy of a fringe!

If you say so, Bib, if you say so!

I much prefer the Mohican you used to have but that's just me.

Really? Why thank you. It is amazing what you can do with a pair of hedge-clippers.

Maybe not a gardener though, else you end up looking shrub-like.

And you obviously know this from experience.

I have a knack for visualising these things!

Indeed! You're not at all shrub-like in appearance. More arboreal I believe.

I'm working on an inverse mohican - a head full of hair, sticking up on end, with a strip mowed through the middle. Style is one of those things that you either have, or you don't, there is no half-way house.

But how do I know if I have style?

CR: My old flat-mate's best friend from work (have you got all that?) has in inverted Mohican, that was a different colour every time I saw him.

What you *shouldn't* get is a half a one, which an ex did... Looked like an ordinary mohawk that had fallen over. (Yup, some people have it, and some people are drowning in the shallows in spite of the water wings.)

I once had an acquaintance with the mohican, washed about once a season whether or not it needed it, and an emergency break chain between his nose ring and an earring. All class.

Then there was a very good friend of mine who took to dyeing her hair purple, and wearing cherry doc martin boots - after she turned 50.

Bib, as long as you think that you have it that's all that matter, confidence counts for a lot.
