Lets talk about beards

Now, lets really talk about beards, they are a source of a lot of angst for chaps. As we know, ladies don't go back to the places of men with hairy faces, but why?

Maybe it's just such a male thing, from almost the moment that we get to proudly grow our first facial fuzz we are being encouraged to shave it off when what we would like to do is grow it in to a proud beard, perhaps we a dash of wax, should the occasion warrent it.

But alas, it never happens. Have you ever noticed that explorers always grow beards? Or that in all male environments, like remote research stations or computer game conventions beards are much more acceptable.

It's oppression man, it's time we chaps stood up and burned our razors! And I will join you, just after tonight. I'm out for cocktails and you can't drink cocktails with a beard. With a 'tashe, maybe, but not with a beard.

Oh and Brian Blessed is the man of the month, just look at rich rug of a beard.
