Sigh.

The front page of the Daily Mirror today is devoted to one major issue. The headlines are two inches deep. I'm not sure how to break this to you but here goes.....Victoria Beckham has had a haircut. According to the story, it's "literally the biggest thing to happen in hair since the Moss Fringe of '07". Helpfully, there are two more pages inside the paper to explain why. One breathless commentator opens with "OMG this is MASSIVE!"
And here was me worrying about today's experiment to recreate the "Big Bang" which formed the universe.

What, ALL her hair? I do hope she's recovering well. I haven't got a paper yet, but I'll pick one up later.

[Vulture]

What, ALL her hair?

No! Only the hair on her head.

[Mince]

And here was me worrying about today's experiment to recreate the "Big Bang" which formed the universe.

I think you'll find they are not actually trying to create another Big Bang and another universe. I'd stick to hair styles: you seem to understand those.

[Roger Kettle]

That's what the Daily Mirror said they were doing.

[Mince]

Two things: you believed them? the Daily Mirror?

Roger, old boy, it pains me to say this, but I'm with Mince on this one.
She looks lovely, doesn't she? I'd get one myself, but my bone structure lets me down in that department.

You don't have to have specific bone-structure to get a Daily Mirror on this island.

Thank God for you lot!  Having just endured the most boring 24 hours of flights I've ever been on (perhaps it was the contrast to the flights going to the UK) I needed a good laugh!

Didn't need cheering up - seeing my family again did that, but I had people sitting next to me on both flights who said about twelve words to me in total and that (as anyone who knows me will tell you) was torture for me!  Harrison Ford, Patrick Dempsey and George Clooney didn't quite make up for it - maybe if they'd been there in person instead of on the screen.

A friend of mine was at the World Cup with her husband, who was attached to the Aussie team, so she got to mingle with the "in set".  When I asked her if they (she had a friend with her) got to talk to Posh, etc, she said, "God no, we avoided the lettuce leaf brigade like the plague!" - seems they would have starved if they'd socialised with them.  These are not girls who eat a lot either!

Maybe not, but we might all have ended up in a Black Hole and then Posh's haircut would have been meaningless, although just a bit less of her to drag in. 

PS, I'm having a go at the Dalwhinnie in an attempt to get rid of the jetlag - I'll be good tomorrow, I promise!

If the LHC destroys the world, I promise I'll buy all of you here a drink. And a house. And a gigantic singing dolphin.

As for the haircut... I'm not an expert, but it appears to me to be remarkably similar to the haircut thousands of other people have had for many years?

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit and contemplate why I've even bothered attempting to contribute to a discussion of celebrity hairstyles. I feel unclean. Is this what it's like working for a tabloid newspaper?

Cop out!

True ...

Well?  Tell us you lot.  Is it?

Yes, it is.

I'm puzzled. Why is Victoria Beckham considered a fashion/beauty "icon?"

Because it's there.

The headline on B.B.C. ceefax says "experts recreate 'big bang' ." Get on to them, Mincey! THEY'RE WRONG AS WELL!
