I was chatting to the young bloke down at Redbank Plaza today and he tells me that he charges $25 for a shave.

Mick,

Thought you had Welsh heritage not Scottish. Love the accent though Laaddie. Lang may yer lum reek.

That's why I said 'Celtic son'. The one thing the Scots and Welsh have in common is Celtic heritage. The Irish and the Scots have similarities in language (Goidelic/ Q celtic).The Welsh use a celtic language variety called (Brythonic/ P Celtic) and is different to that used in Scotland. Ain't I just a fount of information today...

The Welsh also have a "thing" for consonants. I suspect it's just so they can laugh at the foreignors trying to pronounce the names on their signs.

edit: of Irish upbringing here. One side of the family is Irish Catholic, the other Irish Protestant. Family feuds are a pest because I end up having to knee-cap myself.

Aww, you're just complaining because you can't say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyryndrobwllllantysyli ogogogoch with just the right amount of spit...


Mick

Guess the name is even too much for the forum. It seems to want to put a space where none belongs.

I was raised Irish, not Welsh. What's the difference you might ask? It means I can be utterly incomprehensible without needing a whole page to spell it.
I also don't sing that well.

There are a few in Broadbeach area that are doing the straight shave, Pacafic Fair shopping centre and in Broadbeach mall across from the carousell. 25$ is the going rate, I have not done one yet but is on my list of things to do.

They have told me that they mostly do Grooms parties on the morning of the wedding where they all go in and get the hot towel/shave treatment.
