Reason to grow a beard #184.

[Mikey P]

Last time I took my beard off was when I went for aircrew selection at Biggin Hill when I was 16

Had planes been invented then, John?

Anyway, reasons to grow a beard:

a. Because you can
b. Because it is - apparently - now 'cool' to have one
c. Saves money on the latest 5/6/7/8 bladed razors
d. Makes you look knarly and knowledgeable ('Pull up a sandbag, young man. And let me tell you a story...')

Anyway, I had mine before Beckham did ... John had his before I did ... and probably before Wayland had his too ... ergo ... John, you are trend setter.

Ive only grown one once as my misses hate's beard's and restrict's things! if i dont comply with the law, i always have stubble though as i dont like being clean shaven, what i have noticed though is, where i used to have ginger/auburn bits in my beard(mostly dark brown) is that these bits have now turned pure white, and boy does it age me, and i dont need ageing anymore than i am.

No - but I read of folks doing strange things with Camels!

I recently had a goatie and decided after a while that I prefer a clean face. So do my kids and my wife. If I ever needed a thicker hair to clear a nozzle I'm sure I could find a suitable hair if I (wait for it) just looked down and dug deep enough!

Very good thinking on your part, most of us (ok, maybe just me then) would probably probably have given up on it and sought something to take a spark.

Last time I took my beard off was when I went for aircrew selection at Biggin Hill when I was 16 - kept the tashe though.
Blasted thing is changing colour these days but after 36 years exposed to the elements I guess you have to expect some fading....
Good points - hides my weak chin and droopy (Bells Palsey) face : keeps my face warm: saves days of my life scraping off stubble: saves money in not buying razor blades: emergency stove pricker!
Bad Points: can freeze to balaclava in cold weather: can get caught in zips and press-studs all Very Painful! : collects food debris...

You're funny man!
