to think that if you knew you were gong to be on international teevee, you'd get your roots done?

Who!!!?

Gary Lineker?

Kenneth Branagh?

who????

if it's an athlete then yabu... they can look however the hell they like on international tv, they're not paid to look good.

Sharon Davies?

The Queen?

Some Olympicsouls cocol. But I guess they're higher creatures so should not be vain why the friff did they get the highlights in the first place then?

Oh. I thought it might be sue barker. Her hair is shocking.

Rebecca Addlington?

Tom Daley?

Who the feck are we talking about?

I think it might be "the fashion" to have visible roots in these modern-day times.

Maybe they care more about the sport they spend their lives training for...

Then why be vain in the first place WorraLiberty.

Is that so difficult to comprehend?

Your posts are the thing that are difficult to comprehend.. who the bloody hell are you talking about?

so some athlete dyed their hair and is now letting it grow out???

omg shock horror!!!!

Ermmm, maybe they've been too bust training in order to represent their country at the Olympics to worry that their hairstyle may upset some random on MN?

bust = busy of course - must proof read before posting!

Bust training, I did that in the 90s. I must, I must, I must improve my bust.
Have bloody E cups now, there should be an Olympics in that.

On a simple level.

One does something comestic to enhance one's appearance.

Like many people who were bothered about physical appearances would if they were going to somewhere where they would on display . A wedding or a Christmas Event or who knows, the school run.

Then, an opportunity comes up where you are going to be on massive public display.

Is it so very unreasonable of me to think that if you were the ilk of person described anove, it is strange not to get yourself up to your normal appearance?

Cosmetic.

I am still confused because I don't know who we are talking about.

I get my hair dyed but sometimes have re growth because I just can't get the time to get it done.
Could the person have simply been busy?

Olympians Pag.

So may have been slightly busy in the past few weeks.

Swimmers? perhaps they were worried about going green.

Some of the Olympians hadnt had their roots done pag. They've been a tad busy lately. Chaos seems to be taken a slight personal affront to this, and suggesting they should either have not bothered making an effort with hair colour in the first place, or has a last minute hair appointment on the eve of the opening ceremony.

Think that sums up the thread so far

I take having my roots done very seriously. The length of my roots are reflected in my social diary.

If I was an Olympian, I would be timing it so my roots were done just in time for standing on the podium.

Some of the events at the moment are just the heats. They might have a hairdresser on stand-by if they get through to the final.

Personal affront?

I have my hair dyed occasionally, because it Does look nicer.....but I don't care enough to make sure it is freshly dyed for special events....don't understand why you find it hard to understand

Really odd

YABU. It's the Olympic Games, not Ms World 2012.

Blinder

Tell that to whoever designed the beach volleyball bikinis.
