I usually go for a bit of a winter beard, keeps the cold wind from biting my face. It's more 'Castaway' than George Clooney though :santa:

Many years ago I had a full beard for a while, and a goatee for a while, but it was all too itchy.

If I were to grow one now I would look like Father Christmas - all white hair and white beard.........

No man should shave his legs whose employer does not employ a Soigneur.

Beards are ok. Mine is currently only the size of my thumb nail. Fuller versions come and go, go and come, the tab (usually) remains.

Correct! The darker and hairier the worse it is - something to do with growing up during the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper I reckon. I've a recurring nightmare that I've had since childhood where I open my bedroom curtains and theres a bearded man glaring at me through the window. This has resulted in an associated phobia of being looked at through windows, which makes life interesting if I'm in when the window cleaner comes round!!

I was briefly a suspect for the Yorkshire Ripper. Not joking and I didn't find it funny. Thankfully I was quickly eliminated from further enquiries. I didn't have a beard then.

Cripes, thats awful! I was a small girl at the time (born in 1973) and remember the tension and those photofits.

I looked nothing like the photofits. I was the wrong colour but was unfortunate enough to come from the North East and was put in the frame by the 'Ripper Tapes'

My house mates, I was an undergraduate at the time, found my interrogation hilarious.

[QUOTE 2259015, member: 259"]Blimey Vern!

A mate of my brothers was smacked around for a while in "the belly" for that . He was often driving deliveries to Leeds , though never Chapeltown. They had to let him go in the end. He wasn't bad a match for Peter Sutcliffe though.[/quote]

Someone pointed the finger I reckon. The police turned up at my shared student house in Leeds twenty minutes before I arrived back from Darlington, asked to speak to me and disappeared when told that I was still in Darlington - my house mates had no idea that I was returning to leeds on that day. The police re-appeared twenty minutes after my arrival.

I was a very bad match for Sutcliffe. On a more chilling note, a Darlington pal of mine was traumatised when he realised a day or so later that the horseplay that he'd witnessed one night near Lupton Flats for students in Headingley was, in fact Sutliffe's last murder in progress. :eek:

Headingley was not a nice place to be on an evening for ages.
