    Finishing work on a day that got as high as 12 degrees, coming home and having a hot shower and discovering that the towels are fresh from the drier... oh yeah.

    And then as a bonus, discovering that your dressing gown was in there with them.

    Ohhh yeah.

    **** I'm old

    I've been going through the redundancy process since seasons start... before that, in fact. We've been shit. I've since come to the conclusion that there is no correlation with my personal circumstances and the (mis)fortunes of the Jerks.

    BIKINI-CLAD hairdressers, a complimentary can of beer, a handful of snacks and highlights of cage-fighting, Crusty Demons and State of Origin.

    It’s the Man Cave Bikini Barbershop – a controversial new hairdresser attempting to infiltrate the already congested Charlestown hair and beauty market by targeting tradies and ‘‘blokey blokes’’ with the complete man pamper package.

    But critics of the region’s first bikini barbershop have labelled it degrading to staff and unlikely to succeed.

    The owner, who asked to be known only as Gav, initially planned to open a tattoo studio on the Charlestown Road premises, but with all the extra space the idea for the Man Cave was born.

    He said customers were greeted, handed a beer (provided they are of age), plonked down in a comfy chair in front of a TV screen and treated to a cut, shave and scalp massage from a bikini-clad hairdresser.

    ‘‘We had the tattoo studio next door and a barbershop comes under the same rules and regulations so why not have two incomes coming out of the same place,’’ he said.

    ‘‘There are quite a few other barbers in Charlestown. So, how do you take their business?

    ‘‘You know people will stick to their regular barber, but here you get a free beer with every cut.

    ‘‘We thought we’d do something different, we’ve got sporting memorabilia on the walls and it’s just a relaxed setting. I’ve got a man cave at home, so that’s where the name came from.’’

    Gav expects the public reaction to be mixed, but said he didn’t get into business expecting everyone to like it.

    ‘‘There are always going to be people who disagree with stuff,’’ Gav said. ‘‘Each to their own. You’ve got to take the criticism. It’s been popular so far – we definitely can’t complain. But at the end of the day you’re definitely going to have your knockers in pretty much anything you do.

    ‘‘At the end of the day it may be a bikini barbershop, but we try to keep it as classy as we could, so we didn’t want the whole sleazy kind of look.’’

    Social commentator, author and feminist Jane Caro said the shop appeared to be making a desperate attempt to establish a point of difference in the market.

    ‘‘It doesn’t set feminism back, it helps feminism by simply saying ‘exhibit A’,’’ she said. ‘‘It sets men back, how sad for them that they are seen as so superficial and captive to their testosterone that they want to have their haircut by someone wearing a bikini.’’

    She said the concept was insulting to men and degrading to women: ‘‘It’s an all-round dumb idea and I don’t suspect it will last very long.’’

    Other hairdressers around Charlestown suggested that while the the bikini barbershop might be popular short term it was doomed to fail in the long run.

    Bikini barbershops have been trialled before with varied success in the US. In Darwin, Sexy Scissors offers a burlesque-style experience.
    Any one know exactly where this is???

    Feel the need to get my haircut AGAIN for some reason

    Might have to speak to this bloke about the benefits of opening a Cafe Con Piernas in Newy

    Watching the massive amount of butthurt by everyone in Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane lamenting the stupid decision to have a SF and 3/4 playoff in Newcastle. I forgot just how rewarding social media could be for this kind of stuff.

    Then, over in WGMG thread...

    Not living in Newy anymore for Asian Cup stuff

    The best bit is that due to all of the circumstances and Asian cup hosting requirements there was virtually no other option for these 2 games but to be played here (and maybe Suncorp but then the same mob would be bitching about the pitch).

    I love it.

    That is the best bit, for sure.

    Mongs galore ranting because their governments didn't fork out massive wads of cash to host.

    this comment from Wayne from Windale

    Well done to phil he has restored some pride in the mighty red and blue. Griffiths brothers they go when the offer comes to 'pursue their career' in the Singapore league. We don't want those players back maybe phil can get them a gig in the Thai 2nd league. PHIL has shown that a low budget team cleaned of sulking big shots can be competitive against both last year grand finalists, imagine what we can do with a bit of class added.
