    With regard to the grey hair thing - my barber once told me that grey hair never falls out so the more you get, the less chance you have of being bald. See? There is always a positive side to everything. (I'd rather not have any nostril hair at all though. When does ear hair start?)

    :rotfl:

    My husband has, all of a sudden, started growing a random hair from the top of his ear. It grows at a magnificent speed!!!

    I do this > :rotfl:

    He does this > :mad:

    He is also getting 'inside ear hair' too. Why does this happen? He is almost bald on the top of his head but is gaining more hair in other random places!

    Oh, he is 40 this year :T (but he wouldn't want me to tell you that!)
    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    My right eyebrow has started going mental over the past few months. Just two or three hairs, but they're about 5 times the length of the rest of them. I feel like norman lamont.

    Because everything goes south as you get older,so the hair has 'fallen back' into his scalp and has found another way out through his ear :rotfl: if he pulls it,another hair from his head will disappear :rotfl:

    Men don't go bald, the hair just gets tired and 'slips' down further, from the ears, noses, chest and back etc :rotfl:

    My partner is 26 and very bald on top already, but no grey
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I forget how old I am until I see a policeman or doctor (or anybody else that we look on as "authority figures") and realise they're younger than me.

    When a policeman passed me the other day, I actually remarked to my husband that "He must only be about 12". My hubby is 8 years younger than me, and couldn't believe I'd said it.
