Man from del Monte? /Our Man in Havana?/Howard Hughes? A life time of potential roles there slowy,dont limit yourself to Satan’s Chicken Frier

I think you’re right Ms Grandee. I’ve eschewed the obvious ageing rock-star roles despite being stopped in the street and asked to sign autographs. I have a friend who regularly stars (in a small way) in Poldark as an extra; sitting in the corner of a dark Beer House adding “local colour”. That’s how I see my future…ageing eccentric rather than advertising icon.

I’ve pretty much constantly had a beard since I could grow one.

Mostly to hide the fact I lack a jaw or chin.

A bit of “couldn’t be arsed to shave for a few days” stubble is fine.

Full beards? Fuck off.

Weirdos.

I beard on and off. Mostly to prove that if you shave once a fortnight it’s just stubble. I keep my stubble to grade two, a few days growth. Bearding takes either dedication or negligence.

Other than my aforementioned vanity/insecurity, I’m also a bit lazy. So kind of fall into that latter category.

Always on a Sunday - and i dont even shave properly, just use the trimmers on the shaver.

I don’t beard - though I go for the negligent approach at weekends and holidays.

I consider myself to be one of those who can’t carry off a beard. After a weekend I resemble a tramp. A couple of weeks and I have the start of a good father Christmas :santa:

Tootal?

A splendid sight you look too, i wager. I have to confess attempts to grow a beard meet with derision whenever i have attempted to grow one, so i am jealous. But sometimes i go ‘downstairs for lunch’ and ‘don the beard’. Does that count?

I have a beard, for many reasons, but mainly because I’m so fucking cool it hurts.

I haven’t been clean shaven for pushing 20 years. But I’m not a raging beardsm’n either. I oscillate between a few week’s growth and a grade 1 clip. Always been a fascinating tortoiseshell of colour, but with an ever expanding pair of white patches either side of the chin.

Shaving really is for chumps.

I was in beard a few weeks back. Out in town on a wet day. Raincoat, backpack and walking stick. Squaddie mate asked why I was rocking the homeless veteran look? :flushed:

Even in my ripe old age I still can’t grow a beard … still waiting for puberty to kick in I guess.

But even if I could, I wouldn’t.

Those twats who have a Beard and Top Knot combo really are cunts of the highest order.
