Ah yes, Caustic. However, there is method in the way that the good prof crops his own beard so short. What less would you expect from a one time Scottish sheriff?
It is a little known fact that face to face JFM policy meetings take place in one of Edinburgh's most historic and celebrated hostelries. On the initial occasion that this occurred, the prof made it quite clear to me that he would refuse to sit at a table even adjacent to myself unless I indulged in the same brand of liquid refreshment as is his own favourite. Obviously, this was an offer that I could not refuse; as they say in certain circles. Following the first sip of this most excellent of beers, I immediately saw the error of my previous ways and became an entirely reformed character.
But to return to matters of a more hirsute nature. The fact is that having a beard such as my own has the consequence that, following several hours of increasingly frank expressions of views and a multitude of pints, I depart the establishment stinking of stale beer for hour upon end whilst RB has yet to attract the attentions of the local constabulary.
I remember having a cartoon where an impressively hirsute gentleman is warned that food's been gathering inside his beard. "I know," he replies, "I was saving it for later..."
Yes, bensix. That's the excuse I always used to give to my kids for my post prandial appearance. Never did wash though. The excuse, I mean. Bloody kids these days! Too damned smart by half. I blame the parents!
UK Prime Minister David Cameron please work you for a Truth End in the "Al Megrahi tragedy" after 22 Years and give a strong order to the Scottish Parliament to open the SCCRC dokuments as promised 2009, by secretary of justice MacAskill. We hope you understand the Fact and go in action and demonstrate your strength...

Deary me Edwin, I was so much enjoying that diverting little exchange on the topic of beer and beards. I note that you don't have a beard, so, do you enjoy beer? Preferably ones that don't require the need to employ a timing device to let us know when to imbibe. Go on Edwin, let's talk beer for a change, what's your favourite?
Sorry, RB, but RF's beard is much better.
ReplyDeleteCaustic, I am cut to the quick.
