'I can't come to court - my hair is a mess'

[Champ]

A Red-faced defendant has been allowed to appear before a Swansea court wearing a baseball cap after receiving a haircut from hell.

Darren Brock had woken from a drunken sleep in the barber's chair two days earlier to find a horror image staring back at him from the mirror. He was so upset about the way he looked, he refused to attend court yesterday to answer a summons for being found drunk six months earlier.

Sympathetic magistrates decided against having him arrested for non-attendance.

Instead, they suspended the usual court rules of etiquette and allowed him to attend later in the day wearing a cap to hide his embarrassment.

2. That's inconCEIVable!

If my barber made me look like Wallace Shawn, I'd have some words for him myself...

3. He should just shave all his hair.

Then it'd look alright.

7. Do you see a pattern here?!?!

Wakes from drunken sleep badly shorn and refuses to go to court on a summons for being FOUND DRUNK six months earlier....

Don't know 'bout you, monkey boy, but that would be an indicator to me.

Drink much?
