Nope, none of the above. In fact with regard to point 3 I have rather more hair on my head than most, as attendees of the Counting House drinks sessions will attest.Originally posted by ELBBUBKUNPS View PostBeards are gross only suitable if you,

I have a beard because I like it, it suits me and and it's less hassle than having to shave every day. Although I do still have to shave occasionally as I keep neck and cheeks clean shaven rather than going for the full OU Geography Lecturer look."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
