I dunno how you guys feel about it but I've been a bit "lazy" in the shaving dept over the last few months.
I've got a canny beard going, but I'm a bit thin on the old sideburns (or boards as I always knew them to be).
Lets have your growth (no greenery thanks) on here please if you will.
I'll get a proper pic of mine if there's enough foolish folk post here

I'm really glad you put this post up. My wife thinks its hilarious when I refer to my "sideboards", according to her I'm the only one to describe them as such

Now I have it in writing that there are at least two of us that can speak proper like

Course it's "sideboards"! Anything else would be ridiculous!

It's time to put a stop to this "Americanisation" of our "old English" terms.

Another example of the ruination of our fine language! I think you are referring to two flatulant old burgers

We have a rule in our house, facial hair means no nookie. I'm clean shaven every day!
If I grow for a day she calls me "Hairy face" but I call her "Mary Hinge".
I know which side my bread's buttered!

Carol has persuaded me to grow a beard (or try to grow one ) , i've always had some decent mutton chops so letting the rest grow hasn't been too much of a problem .
keeping it tidy is my only gripe , i like my head close shaved along with my chops and goatie and they are all a grade 4 at the moment and i feel like a vagrant

its the bottle of white lightening (cider) sticking out of your pocket that makes people think your a down and out not just the beard
in my house I can just about get away without shaving for about 3 days before I get the look from the mrs.
funny thing is if I do get away without shaving for a while it looks odd because it does`nt grow one colour there`s grey,white ,black,ginger it looks like there is a tortoiseshell cat hanging from my chin
