For many years I had very long hair and a beard longer than anyone here could possibly imagine. I've seen old pix of Bob when he was pretty disreputable looking.

But true, I arrived at her place one day to be asked “What are you doing on the 15th of August?” I said “I don’t know but it sounds familiar” her “Well I have booked our wedding for that day.” Turned out it was mum and dad’s anniversary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, my days of growing long hair on top of my head are long past. Haha. 19 days to airport, 26 days boarding (I think).

Rare MicCanberra Posted January 8, 2020 #5280 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I had a beard once for a few weeks but going without privileges got to me. Shaved it off and indulged almost immediately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to many job interviews from 1970 to 1972 .I was always told that I am exactly what they are looking for but I would have to get rid of the beard.I refused on principle. In January 1972 I went for an interview and was hired.I spent 25 years at the company. I did trim my beard somewhat but not my hair and my beard was still quite long.Now my hair and beard are neatly trimmed but both are white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company was one of those that frowned on beards. For the sake of my financial well being I opted to toe the line. I'm making up for it now. Haha.

I remember hearing that redheads are becoming less common. But not to worry. Extinction isn't likely as long as there are some still around having sex. 😀😀😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenM Posted January 9, 2020 #5291 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I once interviewed someone for quite a senior role. From the cvs one guy was clearly more qualified than everyone else. I expected to offer the guy the job within 5 minutes. He turned up with a beard. My colleagues knew I hated them. ( reminds me of 1970s coppers in the uk) I ended the interview after 5 minutes he didnt get the job. My colleagues couldn't believe in had turned him down for having a beard. I didnt. He turned up wearing a Dickie bow tie. No way could I work with someone wearing that comedy attire. Just to clarify there was no dress code. No ties or grey suits.

Northumberland Posted January 10, 2020 #5296 Share Posted January 10, 2020 80 days till our next cruise, but eating up some of that waiting time with a one week all inclusive trip to Cuba in 31 days. That should help pass some of that wait time for the cruise. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
