Surely there are more important things that hair colour ?

Why on earth do think that it's appropriate dress to undo your top button ?
Shocking and shows no respect or standards

[Flosshilde]

Red velvet? That's a uniform I might have been interested in.

[ahinton]

It paints a frightening picture.

It doesn't "frighten" me (although of course I say so not having actually witnessed it)...

[ahinton]

Are you one of those peculiar Brahmsians, then ... ?

As I have had cause to observe on several occasions to Mr Grew, "what's this got to do with Brahms"?...

Especially if one "Tipps" it, peut-être...

Absolutely nothing, ahinton, but my rubbish is just as entitled to an airing on this forum as any of yours ...

Furthermore, whilst we are on the subject of composers and the main topic is school uniforms I believe that Franz Schmidt probably got closest to combining the two well into middle-age and beyond.

Inexplicably even he sometimes forgot his cap and tie ...

So it's "rubbish" to draw attention to Mr Grew's out of place references to Brahms, yes?

That's not Schmidt that's Angus' dad (or should it be Angus's ? I think not)

I hardly think so - definitely barking up the wrong tree.

"Definitely barking", to be sure; not so certain about l'arbre...

Certainly if one is bald ...

[Flosshilde]

Not a condition you're likely to suffer from

[P. G. Tipps]

That is true, flosshilde, I am greatly blessed with a full and handsome head of hair ...

However we must always consider those rather less blessed than ourselves?

[Flosshilde]

a full and handsome head of hair ...

And the rest of it.

(although only a person of specialised tastes could find your head of hair 'handsome')

I do agree that, much like a vintage wine for experienced connoisseurs, a full and handsome head of hair may well be an acquired taste for many follicle enthusiasts, Flosshilde.

However, I completely refuse to brag unnecessarily about my very good fortune in the lottery of life.
