Beards

A proud sign of masculinity or unarguable proof you're a tramp and/or folk singer?

Do you have a beard? Do you wish you could grow one? Women do they drive you made with facial follicle flirtiness?

Beards vikings liked 'em so did DH Lawrence and apparently God.

But then so did Charles Manson.

Is your beard a diferent colour to the hair on your head.

Are you a polar bear (white bearded)

Sootyj has a sort of half beard (it's a strimmed to stylish 2mm or so)

BEARDS!

So let's here what you have to say (or post about bears I don;t care)

I love a good beard.

How about a pant moustache?

I generally find them a bit scary.

I used to have a beard that grew 6 inches off my face and curved upwards.

I looked like the kind of Victorian hypocrite who abused all his staff according to a strict rota.

Then someone grabbed hold off of it and hung from it.

So I trimmed it.

What can I say? Shipman had one, so did DLT. Even Jesus...

There's no smoke without fire...

I rest my case.

Q.E.D.

But Fred West didn;t and both Hitler and Stalin had moustaches.

Me too.

He does look rubbish with face fuzz.

Unless it's for a role, it shouldn't be allowed!

Too beardy.

I got one. Sometimes it's just stubbly, other times it's a bit longer. But it's always trampy.

I used to have one a goaty fella.

To hide my many chins.

When it got too long it went ginger. Which was a worry.

I have designer stubble that through neglect occasionally reaches beard proportions; it is stylishly multi-hued, with gingery sideburns and white tufts to either side of my chin.

I took the stubble route to camouflage the pock-marks left by trigeminal shingles, but I have come to feel it rather suits me, even though as a slaphead it does make me look a bit like I have put my head on upside down.

I sometimes think about growing a nice pair of mutton chops sideburns. See if I could make them work.
