Diamond Jack the barber in Enfield

21/02/26: Unusually for me, I was organised enough to book a haircut this morning. This is Diamond Jack, whom I have visited in the past. He is a likeable, interesting guy, and we enjoyed a good conversation about stoicism and the simple concept of celebrating the everyday. This is a philosophy with which I agree. Jack is a New York Giants fan, and his shirt honours the Giants’ all-time rushing and receiving record holder – Tiki Barber – in an obvious yet cool way. It happens to be Jack’s birthday today, and he agreed to a shot for this blog. Thanks man, enjoy your birthday.

[Aside: a long time ago I was Jets fan while living in New York, on account of my admiration of ‘Broadway’ Joe Namath when I was very young.]
