The best comb over.

Having just seen it in a retro computer clip, I say Sir Clive Sinclair had the best comb over of all time.
Please add on if you have any more great comb overs.

No-one's gonna beat that. Close the thread.

Combover is classic Kinnock: a solution in search of a problem. He had a decent crop of hair left, not like Clive's head like a Barbie doll's buttock, yet somehow worked in some inane two-stage solution to baldness that involved fashioning his hair into a regular male-pattern bald style around the crown, and then did a smaller comb over on top and to the back where it weren't even needed any more and just made him look like he was wearing a minature toupée on top of a prop bald wig that was already a size too small.

I love the idea that Clive had to stare into a mirror every morning and plaster that hair onto his scalp, carefully separating each strand to ensure maximum coverage.

I have a very vivid memory of a photo of Bobby Charlton (?) displacing his combover with a header, and yet now I cannot find this picture at all. Mandela moment or am I thinking of a different footballer?

Sir Clive is like a total ledge shagger in case anyone doesn't know

With that beard he (Sir Clive) essentially has a band of gold that goes all the way round his head (apart from that tiny little gap where his *ahem* side-parting is.) A fit nit could circumnavigate his head, and every day would be a new adventure.

It really is remarkable. It reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it. Some type of WW2 inner helmet or a sports device or something? Let's have a closer look.

The best combover is the one you don't even notice. There's probably a beautiful head of hair out there that belongs to someone who wakes up every morning looking like Terry Nutkins.

Why don't you get a 2-sided comb-over? L to R and R to L ? That's gonna give you twice the thickness  of hair up top. (Yes you'd have a side-parting on each side, but so what?)

Now that is a great idea Steve. But it's not for us to say. Maybe one of the forum balds can chime in.

Bobby Charlton is the obvious one because his combover would try to leave his head during sweaty football matches. The OP's effort is amazing though.


darby o chill

Ooh that is very good. Yes, the sweat factor must be taken into consideration. It almost looks like someone threw a fish at him. Have any of you had sex with Sir Clive? That would give us an idea of how it looked dripping with sweat. idunnosomename mentioned he was a bit of a shagging ledge, so maybe an ex-girlfriend is reading this and can provide anecdotes or photos.

I would like to thank you all for participating in my comb over discussion.

That's two people who definitely have me on ignore there.

Oops! Didn't cop that sorry.

darby o chill

Not I Captain Z!! Your excellent suggestion was noted before bgmnts posted it.
As were entries by Video Game Fan 2000, Elderly Sumo Prophecy, Better Midlands & Jasha.
But as Steve pointed out earlier, it was always gonna be a tough one to beat.

"Short back and sides is it then Bobby?"
"Aye. Could you leave it a bit longer on top? I'm growing it out."

Imagine what a combover looks like when you've just woken up, before it's been tamed.

You don't see them any more do you? Must have noticed one in the last 4 or 5 years (which, to be fair, was a belter).

Hang on, that is CaB member kittens, isn't it?

Not a comb over, but a bloke at work used to wear what looked like a Christmas cracker hat made of hair. Which sort of worked if you were shorter than him and not behind him on a descending escalator.
