Beards!!!!!!!

[Headgardener]

I also grow mine in my late teens; I got feed-up with being asked in pubs if I was over 18. X years later, where X is a large number, I don't think that would be a problem now. But Mrs ArDee likes breads, has never seen me without one and won't allow me to shave it off. She says that she prefers it that way, she'd be able to see too much of my face without a bread![/quote]Someone who used her loaf then.

[QUOTE 2269229, member: 1314"]Hmmm...my negotiation classes always taught me to ask for something back before giving. Unless, of course, one is in the pub. Come to Agent Hilda's birthday bash and I may 'fess all.

Thinking about it, maybe that's why she didn't want me to have a beard. She's a bit of a deffo Hackney Hipster so does like beards, but only if they're worn ironically. Mine was to be a straight beard. I know that because she's also snogged the Finance Director, who is an ironically bearded Hackney Hipster.

I think I better stop now.[/quote]

I am sooooo coming to Agent Hilda's birthday bash!!!!

why is it that clean shaven is accepted by corporate hitlerdom, as is a beard, but wow betide the unshaven stubble clad masses.

For the same reason that you're allowed to wear a belt, and also allowed to not wear a belt, but if you're in the office and start putting on or taking off a belt, they call the police.

Not razor-shaved since about 1999 - shave with hair clippers with the plastic spacer taken off. This takes it fairly short and stubbly, and bit spikey for the first day, but by day 6 it's a silken blanket. Used to clip every weekend, now it's lucky to be every month but it actually looks pretty good until 2+ months where it starts whorling and eddying like the iron filings experiment they used to do at school.

Must have saved buying about £2k worth of razor blades since I was a student (!)

[QUOTE 2258387, member: 1314"]Am wondering whether I should grow a beard. Reason being that Billy’s grown one and I think it looks rugged, thoughtful and grown up. However, it’ll have grey in it (just the one shade).

What are your thoughts on beards?[/quote]

I recently had a facial hair experiment...a week and a half without shaving...was mostly greyish and white...was told told it made look like a dirty old hobo...so off it came. Some folk suit em my old man says a beard hides a weak chin

“Yes?”

My gran’s fallen down again. The alarm’s really good because help went round and they’ve just contacted me. I’ll have to work from her home this afternoon.”

“Has she still got the cat?”

“No. It died. Mangy thing. That cat hated me and I hated him. I bought her a budgie which ****es and s***s all the time. Gran keeps calling me fat, though, which I find really upsetting. I told her it’s making me paranoid but she says I am fat. I’m not eating for the next 2 days, now. I’m seeing the 21 year old on Thursday and he’s used to the body of 21 year olds, so I’m going to starve myself slim.”

“But you’re in your mid-30s. You can’t change for him.”

“I stood in front of the mirror naked and you know when you let it all hang out? I was fat. Horrible. And I’m resigned to having big thighs. I’ll never have slim thighs like Sammie. I like your hair. Thanks for reminding me about the slides. 11:11 – PALINDROME! I can’t afford a holiday this year.”

“Last year you did go to Thailand, Berlin, Portugal, the South of France, Italy and Belgium.”

“I’ll go and stay with my mum in France. Her boyfriend is an peanut though. Kerry can look after my cats. She always fills the flat up with rastas when she catsits. Hahahah. Booked the flights and hotel, yet?"[/quote]

And you say you fancy her?
I can detect some form of mild neurotic behaviour. Why can't she be in my office? It would be so much fun!!!

Don't you just roll them and smoke them one at a time, like normal people?

So, this is the one you occasionally snog but you don't fancy, but the one you really fancy you don't snog, right? Yup! Sounds about right..
(Just about when you think it doesn't get any better..)

You need to grow a beard so you're not recognised, mate.

"Big strokes and colours..." Perfect User 10/10!

Apart from the beard Crockers, you could be me.

I over quoted and I'm happy to stick with "I'm into big strokes and colours"

I'm not prepared to self incriminate though if we meet up I might swap notes.

Is that a bad thing?
