earlier this week, I happened to land on an old Only Fools and Horses episode - the one where Rodney is having problems in his relationship with Cassandra. At the same time Del boy has to get rid of a load of men's wigs that he has got lumbered with. Rodders decides to put a ponytail extension on the back of his head and go round to see Cass with it. He gets there, and keeps feeling the back of his head - and she then talked to him about a guy at her work who has a ponytail and she thinks he looks a right idiot with this ponytail. Anyway, Rodders pulls off the ponytail extension and drops it down the back of the chair he's sitting on. Then Cassie sees it on the floor and thinks it's a rat! Rodders then goes through the motions of trying to get this rat, getting it and throwing it away. Cassie then finds it again, and they have a right giggle about it. Very funny ... this thread reminded me of it! Can't stand ponytails on men - especially older men whose hair looks a mess and they just tie it back to make it look tidy .... who are they trying to kid!
