Grumpy Old Man

Maybe this is the thread where the Fern finally eats itself. People getting grumpy about people getting grumpy about people getting grumpy.

@Bones said in Grumpy Old Man:
Yeah my facial hair might as well have it's origins as the founder of steelo, so absolutely fuck growing facial hair, especially on the top lip where it's super thick and collects half of every mouthful of food.
I can't grow it much more than two weeks without it being agony.
But yeah, fuck people raising funds for charity without going through hardship, what a disgrace.
Maybe get some wax and try and compete with this guy ?

I wonder if Movember is just a cunning way of making it socially acceptable for white dudes in the West to grow a moustache again. Prior to Movember the only moustaches to be seen were probably grown in the mid 1980s.

There was a brief underground flareup in the 90s..

@nostrildamus T20 cricket already really kicked things off again

The worst thing about Movember is when someone grows a weedy traffic cop job (usually takes all month) and someone says they 'like it' (usually as a joke) which then leads to permanence.
I then have to stop myself from saying something derogatory out loud. especially when it is your boss. -
Now every man should have a beard at some time or another. My time was around the time I got married. Wife to be said she liked it so it became sort of permanent, even though I was not so sure. Fast forward to a delayed honeymoon in the South of France where it was bloody hot and the beard itched like the crabs. I had to shave it off and on returning home everyone said what an improvement it was and how a beard really didn’t suit me. Wife chimes in “yeah I didn’t like it at all but I figured if I didn’t fancy you, no other woman would either”.
I’ve never really trusted her stated opinions since.

This sounds eerily like my life now

But I don't know any other way to read "but I figured if I didn’t fancy you, no other woman would either" unless of course ... she has a great sense of humour...

I tried Movember once but gave up when my sister said my upper lip made me look like a diseased Yak.

Could be worse. Imagine getting hitched while bearded, then later shaving it off but getting told by wife to regrow it because she can see your face.
Personally I can't stand the itchiness after about a week. Apparently you have to just get through that stage and it's OK, but then you have to worry about grooming and all that shit.

I much prefer grooming a beard once a week than shaving every couple of days.

Clearly what she is saying is @Catogrande has the chiseled features of a Greek God, so covering that up with a big ugly beard suited her just fine as other women would be throwing their underwear at him otherwise.

I've only once made it through the itchy stage during my Uni days, but then the grooming became too much hassle, and people started calling me Jesus, so it had to go if I was to stand a chance with women. Shortly after that shave I met my now wife, I wonder if she would have even looked twice if I still had that shaggy beard!
