Carrying more rope than the The Golden Hinde had on her maiden voyage..

Michael ‘Mick’ Kelly swore he would abandon his tragic ‘weggae’ look if he could raise nearly €3k” for Childline/NSPCC.

Well, his worst dreads have been realised.

At a very crowded hairdressers somewhere in Dublin over the weekend

Blimey.

Now he might get laid.

Doesn’t he look better?

Mick’s Dreads (NSPCC/Childline)

Thanks Bibi

No person ever looked well with white dreads.

But few have spent so long trying to prove the naysayers wrong than ‘Dub’-liner Michael Kelly.

18 years.

Eighteen.

He literally has to to tuck his ‘ropes’ into a satchel when he cycles, or they’d get caught in the wheels.

Well, Mick’s insane firtation with the Weggae look could be at an end.

He’s prepared to cut the lot off if he raises enough for ISPCC/Childline here.

His elderly barber writes:

You featured Mick’s hair before. Do you think Broadsheet could call on those people who slagged his dreads to put their money where their mouths are, and donate? It would be much appreciated.  Think of the children. Or kittens. Whatever works for you. ;-)

Thanks Bibi
