cut hair and fund raising

Our Family law lecturer, Cathy Williams, organised a fund raising quiz for Comic Relieve. We had to guess what did her husband give her for Christmas. It’s 1 guess for 50pence and 5 guesses for 1 quid. She said it’s one of the most horrible things she ever received. And the person who got it right will get a mysterious prize.
In the end of the lecture today, she announced the winner. However, the winner’s guess wasnt entirely correct but was very closely related to the gift. The winner had 5 guesses and all of them are closely related to toiletry stuff. For example, scented toilet paper and toilet paper holder. Cathy called the winner out and asked her, “Lee, do you intend to get married?” Lee, the winner, answered, “mmm, welll…” Everyone laughed.
Cathy immediately said, “Well, everyone you should not marry this girl! It’s unbelievable that she could though of those things! (gifts, wasn’t really sure about what exactly Cathy said but it’s something like this)” She then announced the gift she received, it was a luxury wooden toilet seat.
Lee seems pretty embarrassed with the limelight of being a winner. She was openly insulted in front of more than 100 people. And lastly, her prize was, a plastic toilet brush.

Finally, after 2 years in Sheffield, I had my first haircut. I’ve been always stingy with the amount of cost of haircut here. The barber I went to offers cheap haircut (3.80 quid – quid is a slang for pounds in here).
I had a short conversation with the lady who cut my hair. She’s been working there for 14 months and she’s from Perth, Australia. She intents to return to Perth, as soon as her boyfriend complete his PHD here. Nothing interesting in our conversation, the only thing that interests me is that she took 18 hours to fly from UK back to Australia. Mine was 30 hours (including bus ride, transit etc)!!
