Of course there was the make up for scout gang shows and for “Pirate’s Show” for orphans at our ports of call but that’s not quite the same is it. There was nothing quite like making a nine years old kid walk the plank at the point of a wooden sword. Not into shark infested waters, you understand but a paddling pool with a dummy shark.

There is only one way that I would ever wear some lippy and that is by transfer during an anatomical juxtaposition of two orbicular muscles in a state of contraction.
I used Brylcreme JB, in those good old days of short back and sides, the only time I've worn make-up was in my teens with St Mary's Amateurs, mind you I didn't mind coming home after a night out covered with lippy, when you woke up the morning after you knew you'd had a good night
