Jamie Lynch got it right yesterday, filmed from home in front of a plain white wall/door with his dog. Can't go wrong there. :)

The roots are starting to show, the split-ends becoming more obvious, the fringes are lengthening and the comb-overs are coming undone.

Social distancing has dispensed with the make-up artists, barbers and hairdressers.

Skyped in interviewees, politicians and presenters alike are all starting to become less kempt while we try to work out which of the books on the shelves behind them are there for real and which for show and is that a child's painting over their shoulder or is that art?

The Prime Minister has been out of the public eye for a little while now - I do hope that his hair hasn't run as wild as ours has.

Have you see Sarah-Jane Mee lately? She's still seeing her hairdresser, make-up artist, beauty parlor, etc.

Makes you wonder how many TV company's make-up and hair people will be given the boot. Everyone is proving that you can present perfectly well without someone colouring your face in and combing your hair for you. People moan about the beeb wasting money on talant but the unnecessary taxi to the studio and unnecessary beautifiers were the real waste of money.

Btw dying to know who painted the picture behind Spencer Kelly on The Click and he's done a great job picking out the colours with his soft furnishings. All these people who look like they're sat in a cell while we look up their nose should take note.

(looks like a Klimt beech forest series, but isn't, we want one. It'll probably turn out to be just some 34.99 print from Wayfair :roll: )

Arranging books on the bookshelf by size has to be the least academic arrangement.

The OCD is strong with this one.

Took me weeks to realize what this thread was really about, damn shame.

I heard on the news that a library underwent a deep clean and the daft cleaners put the books back on the shelf in size order. :lol: It will probably take the librarians days to re-sort them.

Daft cleaners or daft public sector management? Librarians paid to be at home that can't be trusted to wipe down shelves with Dettol but contracted cleaners expected to understand Dewey Decimal Classification.

Reminds me of the hospital ward in Scotland with a very high mortality rate. Turned out the cleaners were unplugging vital equipment to plug-in their hoovers. In fairness though, I wouldn't expect life-support equipment to be connected to the mains via a 3-pin plug.

First rule of book club is you don't talk about book club.
