I sported a full but beautifully trimmed beard from the day I left school [well obviously it took a little while to grow and was akin to 00000 grade wire wool], until the mid nineties.



I then shaved it off completely but the terrible Goddess was so horrified that it had to be returned immediately [something about thin lips and a weak chin I seem to remember]. It transmuted into a goatee, getting rid of the emerging greyness to the sides. Both Papersurfer and Tiggz have similar beards now although one is dark and mysterious and the other is GINGER which is even more odd and very disturbing [I've mixed up their names, as I often do, to protect the true identity of the gingernut] unlike mine which is grey. I am pleased to report however, that the progeny are both follicly challenged whereas the old git, giffer, peabrain, faux-pa and acolyte, although badgered, has a full head of hair.

I was shaving this morning and because my razor has been used so many times [my allowance as prescribed by the TG is pretty frugal] that with a little experimentation I discovered it was less painful to use tweezers.
I got a little carried away and ate into the goatee too much. Nuts...................it looks as though I've had a brazilian but I suppose it'll grow back again. As a diversionary tactic I've back combed my eyebrows to draw the eye away from my chin...........I think it'll work.
