February's calendar page in the staffroom featured the 'Heart Shape' look. 

"The heart shape is a style for the girl with collar-length hair who wants to create a short look for those special occasions."

Liam's 'Dundee's Finest' poster sat nicely alongside a poster for the new Aveda product range.

Thanks also, to Fraser for emailing me a barber's gag:

Alright Alan, hope you're grand

Heard a joke you might want to fire onto your blog?

Q.  How does the barber cut the moons hair?

A.  Eclipse it!

HAIRSPRAY

BLUE FLOWERS

Dr. octagon, paramedic fetus of the east 

With priests, I'm from the church of the operating room 

With the strike support, scalpels since the holocaust 

I do indeed in greed, explore meet the patients 

Back to brooms with the nurse with the voodoo curse 

Holding up office lights, standing at huge heights 

Back and forth, left wing swing to north 

East and south with blood pouring down your mouth 

I come prepared with the white suit and stethascope 

Listen to your heartbeat, delete beep beep beep 

Your insurance is high, but my price is cheap 

Look at the land...blue flowers! 

Drawing by the purple pond, in the purple pastures blue flowers! 

Drawing by the purple pond, yellow ink that flowsblue flowers!

Dr Octagon, aka Kool Keith. The ex-Ultramagnetic Mc's frontman, penned the above lyrics.  An unknown member of Nori staff created the above blu-tac flower on the staffroom notice board.
