So who is growing Wembley facial fuzz in honor of our cavalier right back? Anyone else sporting the same look? Pictures please..
I decided I would and I don't have a problem with the luxuriant aspect, but grey doesn't look as good as brown and I have no chance of slicking back anything on top.
I've been travelling around the Middle East for 12 days and one of my customers, Indian, said I looked like Ian Botham, which wasn't the worst thing he could have said, even though it isn't true, David Bellamy might have been closer to the mark.
Two days ago sat in a departure lounge and a very young Asian boy came running along, stopped in his tracks and stared, no pretence of not looking and excitedly said to his Dad "Papa, Papa, it's Santa!" His Dad told him to shush and hustled him away. I smiled, but when I got to Kuwait, a look in the mirror told me it needed a bit of a tidying. I found a barber and he did some good work which even involved a cutthroat razor, which made me nervous.
Yesterday, I was at a customer in Kuwait where the new buyer is English, The conversation drifted to football and it turned out he's a Derby fan and a seriously committed one (when he was offered the job in Kuwait, the only negative he could find was not being able to follow Derby home and away). I told him of my allegiance and started to tell him the reason for the beard and before I could, he just said "is it a Brayford beard?"
It wouldn't be fair to post a pic, there might be children looking and I'm not sure I could master the technology required in any case.
