Is there an origin story for the boss man moniker? Are there other boss men like you? Are you his one true boss man? Lots to think about.

I fear he calls all men boss man. In fact, I know this because I’ve witnessed him calling another man boss man. It hurt.

I particularly liked No. 13, gobstoppers. I remember I had to push them from cheek to cheek as a kid. No, I didn't choke.

Great stuff Andy, and yes Nigel Farage can totally fuck off!

Andy Carter's avatar

Thanks, Rosalind! I vetoed the gobstopper (ate it myself later.)

Nikki Copleston's avatar

I wasn't allowed gobstoppers because they were 'common'. Lollipops and fizzy drinks ditto.

Rosalind's avatar

Fizzy drinks totally not allowed to have, ever! Not even tomato ketchup... Not sure how we got away with gobstoppers!

Its clear you will never be on the receiving end of his punch. But Nigel Farage had better watch out!

Andy Carter's avatar

Haha. Yes, I think I’m in the clear (for now).

Thanks for reading, Jane!

I’m bald. How can I become one of these boss men?

Andy Carter's avatar

Haha. He calls all men boss man so I think you’d be ok!

Love this! my husband's Kurdish barber was beside himself when Husband said we didn't have any kids. You'd think it was the biggest tragedy in the universe! But he's an excellent barber, I'm told, and at least he doesn't expect Husband to talk about football.

“Hey, boss man. Have you ever jumped off a boat, drunk?”

“As it happens, yes.”

“It’s wonderful, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Yes, it is.”

He's the wisest man on earth. Next time I'm up that way I'm popping in for a beard trim.

Andy Carter's avatar

Haha. Do it. It’s not too far from Woodies so there’s a dream afternoon for you there!

I bet we've all asked the first question at some point to someone 🤣 Your barber deserves his own Netflix series. Enjoy your summer holiday, boss man!

Andy Carter's avatar

He does! Thanks, Cristina. You too - have a great summer!

Gabrielle Donnelly's avatar

This has brightened my entire day! Thank you!

Andy Carter's avatar

Ah, thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it! He provides great material every time I go so might be a part 2 at some point!

Eva Lydon 🌿's avatar

Oh, also now dying to know more about your drunken jump off a boat? 😄

Andy Carter's avatar

Haha. Kavos ‘05. My glory days!

Wendy Varley's avatar

Really enjoyed this, Boss Man!

Enjoy your travels.

Andy Carter's avatar

Thanks, Wendy. Have a great summer!

Liz Champion's avatar

Brilliant! Happy travels.

Andy Carter's avatar

Cheers, Liz! Have a great summer!

Helen Barrell's avatar

Hahaha I love the way you capture the way people speak! Your barber sounds awesome! 😎

Andy Carter's avatar

Thanks, Helen! He is quite the guy. I will be gutted if he ever leaves.

Catherine's avatar

Is the guinea pig going too? Safe travels. Please take notes so you can update us on your return.

Andy Carter's avatar

Thanks! The guinea pig is sadly not joining us! Considered it but not practical. Worry not, he will have a nice lady looking after him!

I’m still laughing at #1! But at least we can all agree on Farage.

Andy Carter's avatar

I still regularly think about no.1. I will just be getting on with my day then remember…

Ha. Yes.
