That the Laser Light Skeletor figure I lost in recent years is the one that's worth hundreds today :x

Get it right!!!

A Rossendale native of my age would, most likely, pronounce it either "They only speak prop'/r/ly i'/t/ North" or "They only spik prop'ly in: North"

The first would likely be someone of higher social status.

Whether to shave my beard or not. I've spotted more white hairs now despite being only 29. The alternative is Just For Men.

My beard has been "salt'n'pepper" for as long as I remember. Certainly before I had any white hairs anywhere else.

What I do take offence to though is my white eye brow hairs. They're absolutely crazy and they get pulled out as soon as I spot them!

Personally I couldn't care less...

... but they make Mrs. B. crazy so she pulls them out.

I've noticed a couple of white hairs in my beard in the last few weeks. It's a natural part of ageing and I'm not that concerned about them tbh. It's the ginger ones I'm concerned about.

Eyebrows and ears are becoming hairier as well.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I think grey hair looks cool on a bloke anyway, beards included. Maybe not pubes though having seen the juniper bush man in Life of Brian.

+1. I didn't freak out when I had the odd grey/white hair in my beard but for some reason it really hurt when I spotted them in my eyebrows.

I'm 29. If I were 39, I wouldn't care.

Next time you listen to an Adele notice that if the word has an "i" in it she pronounces it "eeeee" and if it has an "o" in it she goes "ohohoooooh" EVERY time, quite funny.

Nah. What I have noticed is some of my colleagues have started to sprout grey hairs too whereas my non-medical friends are fine. :evil:

I was trying to apply reasoning to it like that, but it's totally random. I have the odd grey at the sides and my hair is definitely getting lighter. Friends are full-on bald or getting there, even the one with the jet-black hair!

Shave your head down to the wood and run around like Max Payne ;)

WTF? a 29 year old pup with a grey beard? if you went to a meetup from this forum you may be mistaken for churchcat :shock:

Why does Freeview waste bandwidth on +1 channels when they could use it for more HD channels. :evil:
