I would like to encounter a tapir
@TheBreadmonkey @purplepadma Not in a spice bottling plant you wouldn’t. They clean knock you off your feet with a mere hint of a sniff of pepper.
@TheBreadmonkey @purplepadma You just gently give it a friendly tap there and a tap 'ere?
@TheBreadmonkey wait is this a "We Have Mr Topper at home" situation?
(You know Mr Topper, the hairdressing frog, right?)
@TheBreadmonkey there's still one on Goodge Street but they seem to have lost the frog mascot, perhaps realising that a famously hairless creature does not seem like a natural domain expert in the realm of hair management. Especially as he wore a top hat, implying that if he did have a haircut, he was embarrassed by it.
For men AND women? Has the planet gone mad? Why not just leave the women hairy like the olden days.
@TheBreadmonkey I see you're taking the amphibians in your stride.
SIX POUNDS?!?! I assume they just throw an open pair of scissors at your head and hope for the best.

I frogot about Mr Topper..There used to be quite a few in central London. Staffed, one assumed, by a production line of Australian sheep shearers. Half the price of any other barbers.
@TwoClownsEating @TheBreadmonkey Yes, they were rife, along with EasyEverything internet cafes. I was always kind of intrigued, but I spent way too much money in the Japanese hipster hairdressers instead. Until my regular stylist had to go back to Japan to help her friend who had murdered her mum or something.

Wigs are massive don't ask me how I know
@TheBreadmonkey @amiserabilist @internetsdairy @TwoClownsEating Stoke Newington or is it Finsbury Park High Street has about five massive wig shops.
@TheBreadmonkey @amiserabilist @internetsdairy @TwoClownsEating Stroud Green Road in Finsbury Park. No idea why.
@TheBreadmonkey @huxley @internetsdairy @TwoClownsEating
Stroud Green Road in Finsbury Park is a major London hub for wig and Afro-Caribbean hair supply shops largely due to the long-standing anchor presence of Pak's (Pak Cosmetic Centre and Pak Hair World) and related specialized hair salons like Doreen Hair.
• The Pak's Dynasty: Pak's has operated in the area for decades (established over 25+ years), growing into a massive destination for Afro-Caribbean hair care, extensions, weaves, human hair, and synthetic wigs. Because Pak's established a massive wholesale and retail footprint on and around Stroud Green Road, it turned the street into a go-to marketplace for specialized hair products.
• Demographics and Community Need: Finsbury Park has historically served as a vibrant multicultural hub in North London with a significant Black and African-Caribbean community, creating a strong, steady local demand for specialized hair-extension, braiding, and wig-styling services.
• Ecosystem Effect: Once a major specialized retailer like Pak's Pak's anchors a high street, complementary businesses—such as custom wig makers, specialized stylists (like Doreen Hair), and independent cosmetic shops—cluster nearby so customers can buy hair and get it fitted, washed, or styled in the same neighborhood.

Great now I'm racist. I've got enough going on without having to worry about that aswell.
Of course. We're all taught it in schools.
@TheBreadmonkey I always thought those things were called Schnoozlebops. Thanks again gramps, you dick.
@TheBreadmonkey Our local zoo has just announced they will be offering tapir encounter experiences next year. My daughter and I are very excited to go.
