- Oh. Well, I never used to have good hair days. At least, not more
- than once or twice a year. My hair is either too short or too long,
- a non-descript medium-brown, straight (but not completely), limp,
- thin and fly-away. Now that I've discovered Aussie Moist *shameless
- plug*, I actually have good hair days more like once or twice a week.

- What an interesting small scar. How did you get that?

- But I _liked_ York. Hmph. 70AD has lots of appeal for me, antiquity

- Well, actually, no. I've managed to fool it into thinking it's nice
- hair, but that only works for 1-2 days a week. No grumpiness
- necessary.
