Post-haircut blues

Had my hair cut this morning, and the barber has left it a bit too long on top I think. In a few days if I still don't like it I'll have to go and get it all cut short and start again.

Yesterday there was a car crash in Eastcote, which is very near where I live. The main road was sealed off by police cars and tape, so I knew it was serious when I walked by. I found out today that a lady had left her car unattended with the keys still in the ignition, and a youth nicked it. He went and picked up a few of his mates and went speeding around the town. They pulled into a layby and sped down it at 70-80mph (according to the barber), before crashing into a car at the bottom of the road which was pulling out. The youths got out and legged it, but the people in the other car were in a real mess apparently. The fire brigade took an hour to cut them out. As far as I know, the youths are still on the run. Shocking stuff, because the victims could easily have been people I know, or even myself.

Gareth and I have our first round match in the mens doubles tonight, hopefully we won't make idiots of ourselves.

Lock them up and throw away the key.
