so if he was a muslim with the usual unkempt birds nest hanging off his chin he would be in with a chance would he ?

Absolutely disgraceful

you probably shouldn't try knitting if you have a beard. Very few members of ZZ Top knit.

[Baldric]

No, I,ve been lucky, 61 next week and still got my own hair etc.

War with France?, no, just wish they would move it round a bit (it ruins the view)
;o)

Little known trivia...

"Very few members of ZZ Top knit"

[joggerjayne]

You can't see France from here, even on a clear day ... although it's obviously out there somewhere.

[jno]

they could take it away altogether; then you'd be able to see Switzerland

[Kiki-frog]

JJ - don't forget Father Christmas. Although that would only be seasonal work, I suppose

[Baldric]

jno, that would be favourite.

[Baldric]

Kiki. brill idea, just think of the Travel allowances.

[Kiki-frog]

Yes, Baldric, plus uniform and company car.

JJ, don't forget the Ultimate Beardy - Ab Editor.

[joggerjayne]

On what map could you see Switzerland if they took France away ???????

[Baldric]

I'm jealous of Eds pointy hat.

[Baldric]

JJ, you would have to rely on the Prismatic effect of the right type of clouds

[Kiki-frog]

Bladric, I'm sure there must be something deeply Freudian about pointy hat envy

[Kiki-frog]

Bladric?????

[joggerjayne]

Sorry, you're right ... there is a bit of eastern France in the way of Swizzerland.

JJ's geography ... 0/10

[flip_flop]

Don't have a problem with men having beards - they need to catch the foam from their real ale somewhere - but men that just have a moustache are very sinister looking and I can't but help taking an instant distrust. Plus they are probably paedophiles.

[Baldric]

Kiki, I think it's due to the colour, and of course the power wielded by one so, umm, editorial!
(think I got away with that)

A great quote in the article.

// if a beard is good enough for the Queen, then why not for washing cars," he said. //

This conjours up two images...
1. An hirsurte female monarch
2. Detachable facial hair that doubles as a J-cloth.

Anyone else think that Beckham's current look is odd?

[Gromit]

hirsute

[Baldric]

I think, you know, that Beckham is, you know, is odd.




If you edited out 'you know' every time DB said it, he'd have nothing to say at all.
