Yeah. I tried that. It worked until I was 40.Originally posted by Whorty View PostMy mate has always looked 40 and dressed accordingly. At 20 he looked 40. At 30 he looked 40. Now, in his 50's he still looks 40
He created a look and has stuck with it for his whole adult life

Yeh. Neighbour over the road looked a lot younger after shaving his hair.Originally posted by malvolio View PostInteresting thought. Bloody awful test model though...
