Actually, he rather cut it.

Another great now gone, who made it in the best era, the 'sixties'. Fabulous time.

I guess they'll be going through the highlights of his life.

Bet he made a bob or two.

There will probably be a couple of stories coming out that will make us want to curl up and die.

But lets face it, he stood head & shoulders above the competition.

Errrrrr..... nope thats it.

You've been fabulous, I've been The Hypno-Toad and I'm here all week. Tell your friends, try the veal, don't forget to tip your waitress, I'll get me coat...

He was a cut above the rest. <sniff>

He's really dead? That is rather permanent.

[Pints]

I'm not one to split hairs but some of these puns are cutting it fine.

I liked his poetry.

Why did he have to die Sassoon?

There was a barber in Marylebone station years ago (looking at StreetView the barbers is still there) who used to spout the most incredible stories

One of his favourites was that he saved Vidal Sassoon's career by inventing the bob haircut for him. Vidal apparently wanted to go into business with him and share the wealth, but he said he was happy to stay where he was.

He also claimed to have invented the numbered hair lengths that electric clippers have. He said he get fed up with people coming in and asking or their hair to be "this long" so he invented numbered lengths, so they could just ask for "a number 2 all over"

Every time I went he had a different completely unbelievable story that he told in incredible detail.

I watched the funeral on the news...they only showed the highlights.
