Does anyone have any embarrassing moments(that they dare share ) whilst they were trying to be cool . ONE of mine was when i was 14, i desperately wanted to look like Dusty Springfield but having naturally very dark hair i needed a complete makeover so a friend told me about bleaching your hair with peroxide, so i went and got some from the chemist with my spends 1 and 6 as i recall and waited till mam and dad had gone out to the darts match and i had a go, locked in my bedroom with it on my head -------- I FELL ASLEEP-------  i woke up to mam shoutin me for school (i was still sat up ) i rushed to the bathroom to wash my hair and it was all fallin out into the sink  then dryin it the rest was blowin off i was left with about an inch all over my head in hysterics i ran in to dad (he was the soft touch ) on a solemn promise that i would never touch my hair again he took me to town and bought me a wig a black bubble cut type  i looked like a young Micheal Jackson needless to say i never touched my hair again --------- till it grew !!!!!!!! ;D |

My embarrassing moment also is to do with hair.......Being a blonde (or fair) I decided to have a change and picked out an Auburn Hair Colourant. It look great on the box and I really looked forward to a change......I put the stuff on and followed the instructions.......what colour did it turn out? ORANGE.....I could have died........ I went back to Boots the next day with a hat on to cover the awful colour and asked an assistant if there was anything she could recommend to get rid of it and I took off the hat to show her......she looked horrified I was hoping for some discretion from her BUT she shouted down to the bottom of the store, which was crowded......." HERE BERYL, COME AND HAVE A LOOK AT THIS LADY'S HAIR, ITS GONE ALL ORANGE. HAVE WE GOT ANYTHING THAT SHE CAN USE?" It seemed that everyone in the store had come to the till to have a look at my hair with me standing there going bright red. I'll stick to Blonde next time I fancy a change. |

Another embarrassing moment happened on Sark in the Channel Islands in 1974. I was staying with a friend who lived on the island and I decided to explore the island on my bike. I found this deserted beach, clambered down the cliffs and, because no-one was around or likely to be, I stripped everything off and went skinny dipping. I then decided to sunbathe naked and fell asleep. I heard voices shouting from a passing speedboat and sat upright and started waving back at all these men in the boat, totally forgetting that I was naked. I couldnt understand why all these men were shouting and waving at me so loudly until it dawned on me........  ;D |

My embarrassing moment was a few months ago in Morrisons store there was this woman with an hour glass figure black hair leanning over the cheese counter and I thought it was my mates wife so I went behind her and grabed her around the waist and pulled her towards me and i said hello darling well when she turned around It wasn`t my mates wife after all I didn`t know were to put my face . Well she was very nice about it and said it was a nice complement . but just then my wife came over and said whats the matter. Well I had to explain every thing all over again so my wife said to the woman it alright love its a good job i know him I can`take him anywhere he`ll do somthing daft if I dont keep my eye on him. And said to me come on well, every where we went I kept bumping in to this woman I never felt so stupid in all my life she kept smiling but it didn`t help not with the look on my wife face. So there you go
