Another Hair Related Malfunction

Hairdryer exploded last night, leaving self with perkily dry fringe and the remaining locks sopping wet. Was off to pub, so this constituted Major Catastrophe. Attempted to Put Hair Up with aid of vicious toothed clip, which produced thin hank of hair dangling in forlorn manner from back of head. Also perforated scalp with vicious toothed clip. One hour and many expletives later, decided to tie hair at nape, and Hope For The Best. Was not my finest hour.
