Laugh all you want but many of us are starting to need a haircut, so what happens now?

Luckily, I’ve got one of those cheepo hair-clipping sets stored away somewhere, and I told the wife the other day that soon she’s gonna have to perform barber duties and she looked at me funny!

I dread the moment but we don’t have a choice… :?



Mrs. CyprusGrump always does mine with clippers... :D

No, it was a trial and error thing after we came to Cyprus...

First couple of times I had to wear a baseball cap for a few weeks... :oops:

Just by not being able to eat much junk food/fast food/processed food on the run must be an improvement on one’s health and diet.

Just had a haircut 3 days ago at my barber. Also got my Flu Shot. I thought it's an important one to not miss this year. This year's model, protects against 10 Flu Strains.

Thankfully, some things are still business as usual.

One of the popular beaches in Adelaide was packed just yesterday with police in full force. they appeared to not be too bothered.

They might restore hairdressers soon in Switzerland, as long as the cutter and the client are wearing masks. :P

The kind of nation capable of mass crimes like these...

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/ ... 58633.html


Or these...

https://www.theguardian.com/global-deve ... -in-africa


Is also the kind of nation that was preparing for, and eventually unleashed an anti-Asian virus that ended up backfiring on the whole planet...

https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opin ... bate-34502


You may recall that Trump was obsessed with China from the onset... God knows how many times he mentioned "China" during his campaign... hundreds!

He then came on like a bull in a china-shop (<-- no pun intended) and immediately began the attacks on China with Tariffs and other trade maneuvers.

The final annoyance for Trump was the realization that there could be no 5G for America without Huawei having some involvement.

Despite being an arms industry Mecca, America seemed to have overlooked the importance that 5G would have on future firepower and dominance.

The US admin with a fool at the helm, went berserk...

Yes but they are all very very bad people Get Real.

Hence the need for targeted drone attacks to send them off to the after life in accordance with Allah's will. :wink:

Chy-na is a different kettle of fish altogether. We are not really attacking Chy-na apart from stating the obvious that Chy-na Virus, started in Chy-na. So now we can use that as an opportunity to re-asses our dealings with that stupid country and restrict them more.

They are not “very bad people” Paphitis, for they are in their own country and can do as they please in accordance with their ancient customs and traditions.

It is not anyone’s job to dictate how other cultures should be and we cannot be bragging to be “lovers of freedom” while opposing and destroying the freedom of other cultures to be themselves. Doing so would mean that we are not lovers of freedom at all, but hypocrites!

After all, the Afghanis were there for millenniums before anything “American” existed on this planet!

In fact many people don’t approve of many aspects of American culture, but we recognize their right to be themselves for as long as they don’t spill over and disturb us.

The only thing universal that the UN should demand is for safe passage to always exist for anyone wishing to leave *any* given country.

For as long as that’s in place I see no problem whatsoever with the world’s existing cultures.

An agent planting the virus in strategic locations as desired, would be the easiest part of such a mission so where it "started" forms part of the evidence, especially in lieu of the fact that in the last 15 odd years pretty much everything "started" in China including MERS and SARS!

Someone very evil has been fucking around with China for a very long time now... and we all know who stood to benefit the most from a wrecked China, don't we Paphitis?
