    Disappointed I wasn't taken to task for what I define as a beard and then a long pointless discussion on what makes a beard.

    I have a short beard as it looks neater than my stubble and I’m sure as Sh1te not shaving every day.
    Trim it to 5mm once a week. At the end of the week it shows the first signs of bushiness and has to go.

    Btw, is this a nuanced phishing question?

    I hate my bank account details. Who on here has interesting numbers?

    I think in all instances, beards look sh!t and scruffy.

    Well I have beard with a nice handlebar moustache and I’m also old and retired. I wonder what else I can do to wind Rick up. It’s a pity I’m not nearer Cambridge as I could go out and give him a kicking out on the bike to really p!ss on his chips.

    Trim most of it to number 1 once a week, no guard round the neck and edges, and trim the moustache. Not had a shave since 2017.

    If you'd posted an economist article about the popularity of the goatee and argued as though it applied to all facial hair, I'd have let you know.

    If I was a ladyboy who couldn’t grow a beard or a decent amount of stubble I’d probably be anti beard too.

    You ask, I deliever.

    Pogonophiles are the most visible outgrowth of a broader trend. According to Mintel, a consultancy, 41% of American men do not shave daily, including half of those aged 18 to 24. Ralph Marburger of Just for Men, a hair-colouring company, says this is partly the result of increasingly casual workplaces, where clean chins are no longer mandatory. In some industries they may even attract suspicion.


    Even better, they're American stats.

    tell him about you car collection and garage and the fact that you use a whole room in your house to store old newspapers.

    Voting Tory might do it but that’s a step too far even to wind Rick up.

    ...


    Since this is the topic of the day, I did not consider growing a beard until my ginger went grey. Mr. Markle should consider likewise.
    My most unpopular opinion is that I don't give a fig about other people's opinions.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    My mobile phone number is made up of two sets of sequential digits. Every time I get asked what my mobile number is and I say it, there's a short giggle on the other side followed by: "are you kidding?". Surprisingly most people still manage to forget it.

    It would be 163.8 miles for me to get to Cambridge. Even on a good day that’s just a bit too far. Don’t you come up North to see the wife’s relatives? I could meet you then.

    I wouldn’t bother rushing as I will be out of action for a while come next week. As I’ve got hip replacement surgery next Wednesday.
