Cockfield lads can talk about most things to their mates, sport, work, sex, even politics. But one of the taboo subjects is personal grooming, unless of course, you’ve just had a trendy new haircut.

Nowadays, it’s perfectly normal for a man to moisturise, have their hair coloured and even have a manicure, but I think you’d find it pretty difficult to get a Cockfield lad to admit to doing any of these things.

I mention these things, because a mate of mine was telling me about his recent BSC wax!

“What’s that then?” I enquired.

“Back, sack and crack!” says my mate, and showed a few of the lads some photo’s of the event he had on his mobile phone.

“You should try it”, he says. “Makes you feel clean and fresh, although she drew blood on the ‘two veg’!”

“NOT A CAT IN HELLS CHANCE!”

“Good god!” says Joe Kirby “What the bloody hell have ya done to ya self lad?”

“I’ve had a BSC” laughs my mate.

“A bloody what?” Says Joe.

“Back, sack and crack wax!”.

Joe just shuffled his paper and shook his head!

Ally Milroy was down for the weekend and could hardly believe his eyes. “I’ve got more hair than that, and I shave me head!” he says.

Jonna Milroy couldn’t see anything due to his nose getting in the way. (Ally’s words, not mine!) Anyway, when I told him I was going to put the afternoon’s events on the blog, he just smiled and asked if I wanted the photographs.

In the interests of visual health, and to protect his dignity, I declined!

By the way, if you’re looking for someone to buy you a drink this week, Lenny Colgrove would be a good bet.

He had the Grand National winner!!

Lenny was still whinging though. He was telling me he’d backed Mon Mome earlier in the week, and only got 66/1.

BLESS!
