That's the way I like it - hairless. Having said that, I don't mind stubble à la Becks, or even a goatee - just not the one that adorns Q's face.

Notice to men with facial hair: please check the mirror when you have finished eating/drinking.

One of my current fascinations is playing 'spot the debris'...

"things go in cycles" that's what I keep on saying - much better than the tube.


Actually, I confess I had a 'tach for years until I discovered mid-eigthies that life was better without.

I see Labour-leader-in-waiting David Milliband is growing a bum-fluff moustache.

Oi! Milliband! NO!

Even worse than facial hair is men with a pony-tail,especially men in late 40s or older it looks stupid.

You know whats under every pony-tail.....

Ssssh, don't tell anyone...I leave the hair on my legs where it's meant to be....

I have just looked up "Oranges and Lemons" because the evolution of nursery rhymes is interesting, eg "Little Jack Horner" was a real politition who was given a "plum" job and I wondered if there was any political or social origen in O and L. Perhaps not,but I enjoyed reading your encyclopaedic account of the various churches. I now live in Greenwich which wallows in history -now being "re-developed" unfortunately. At the bottom of my road 11 1/2 acres of wharfs will be flats for 700 people soon.
Thanks for your amazing work and good luck to you!

I think you'll find us fat blokes have been using the double chin-hiding 'goatee' style facefuzz for years now. Slimming and on-trend. How convenient.

I'm in the other camp - like Homer Simpson I shave and ten seconds later I have a 5 o'clock shadow.

Which leads to some interesting discussions at work as I'm supposed to be clean-shaven and the boss sometimes think that I haven't.

I'd grow a full beard, except that it's mostly a mix of grey and ginger - which isn't attractive.

Shaving *is* a chore for me, so actually I'm rather envious of your non-hirsuteness.

Hairy men? Bring 'em on.

The chances of me growing a beard are the same as your due to sporadicity of growth. I did however grow a moustache during the early nineties, when of course it was unfashionable, and was made even more so by being ginger. I have no other ginger hair on my body, there are no known ginger genes in the family. Perhaps it was natures way of telling me I'd look a complete tw*t with one?

agreeing with anon at 11.26 i have been sporting my own facial pubes for a while now as, according to my sister, "it give me a jawline." amusing story tho - a couple of weeks ago was working outdoors for most of the day and so developed quite the tan, then yesterday had to shave off the beard for work reasons and i've developed this incredible tan line where my beard used to be. it looks ridiculous.

I don't mind the hairies but I don't understand the voluntary baldies. Don't they get chilly? Don't they get sun burnt? Young policemen all seem to be bald. Uniformity gone mad, I think.

I grew sideburns in the 70's when they were obligatory.
I wore a (very) short beard in the 90's when it was the only way you could get away with no-shaving while dressing smart for work.
Now I'm of the view that at my age (late fifties) the less grey you show the better, so I shave every day (electric).

What I really don't like, is the way some men shave their facial hair into thin lines. Or other fiddly shapes. Like my brother-in-law who appeared at our house last time he visited, sporting a little black dot under his lower lip, which I thought at first was a birth mark I'd never noticed before. It was a "beard."

But I don't mind proper ones though, as long as kept clean.

Personally, I don't mind some stubble, though I hate it when it grows too much. I do find, however, that my stubble grows quickly, so I may still have to shave every couple of days or so.

It doesn't seem that long ago that th only folk sporting facial hair were larger gentlemen, and those identifying with the bear subculture. Now it's even more confusing to work out who's who.

I'm in the 'forget to shave one morning and end up with a blue chin by 11am' category. It's such a bind, wet shaving every day, and I could at least get a goatee and hide my multitude of chins.

But I guess I'm a creature of habit.

I do love a beardy, me.

I tried a beard in 1981 when I was in my 30's and found it messy, itchy and irritable,it also made me look older so it was removed after a couple of months.I have been clean shaven ever since and will remain so.

As you know, Geezer, I have a beard, and very luxurious Welsh one it is, too. I love my topiary

LOL! "still waiting for my first chest hair." You can have some of mine, if you want DG!

The only problem with being hairless (or less hairy) is how stupid it looks if you leave it a few days. I pass lads in their teens who look more hairy than me after a week ...
