An old white van with a handwritten sign saying, “Need a Haircut? drives up. Who wouldn’t jump in for a root job, some foils, or a scrape with the cutthroat? Unfortunately no amount of the Cohen filter aka unsharp mask can resolve the other words. From Pilot V.
Unrelated, but Peter J Nichol who comments here from time to time is looking for a copy of The Jets greatest hits. Any leads?

Whilst the sizing of that sign maybe a little off if you are trying to attract new clientele, the font is quite handsome and well prepared.
After all, it’s all about the sign is it not?

Mrs Bento’s grandma recently referred to a particular type of mens/ladies’ cologne as being ‘bisexual’. Much hilarity ensued.

Not sure if it’s a bisexual product though.

The Jets greatest hits? wouldn’t that be a compilation consisting of “We Can’t Be Beaten”, “Am I Ever Gonna See YOur Face Again” and to canvas the later years a few Noiseworks numbers?

I seem to remember it, on vinyl, have such cringe-worthies covers of “Stairway to heaven” and various ACDC tunes.

I remember them as a cover band too. Saw them one lunchtime at the Curtin Uni (then WAIT) Tav in early 81. God they were awful, “Eagle Rock” and “It’s a long way to the top if etc. etc”. I didn’t realise at the time that they were an indication of things to come.

Hmmm, can’t help feeling that there is something amiss about that photo, oh yeah that’s it – no crotch veg.
Love their site, encapsulates all that there is to admire about the 27 years of their hard hitting, no nonsense, heavy rock (cover) act.

Basic laws of physics would suggest that the larger the prostitutes the less you could fit in the van but its an inexact science and more research is needed
before conclusive results can achieved.

Hey, sorry for the poor image quality. It was taken on a phone shooting into the son and I really didn’t want to get much closer, heh. The sign, in full, read – “Need a haircut? Knock this door”.
