    You have no EVIDENCE for that Sir. Judgement for the plaintive and the counter claim is dismissed.

It still looks more scruffy stubble than beard, but yesterday I shaved round my neck so I guess that means I can call it a beard. Itches a lot though. Not sure how long I'm going to keep this going.
    Tried that two weeks ago. Got rid as it started annoying me once it got past the standard stubble phase.

    Perhaps a beard helps offset the receding hairline. That's my theory.

    And you are certainly not alone .

    Women of my generation hated them at the time, in recent years that seems to have changed.


    Is that the best thing you can say about agents .
    Singling out Irish kiddy fiddlers is a bit harsh pal.

    I will add that very few agents wear beards (except the female ones obviously)

    started a topic Beardie Weirdies

    Beardie Weirdies

    Not wishing to go down the road of contractor stereotypes but I just had to mention this Beards are 'unhygienic' and worn by 'cheats and thieves' shock survey claims - Mirror Online

    I will add that very few agents wear beards (except the female ones obviously)
