So, what's the consensus on beards at the moment.

Do they make you think:

A) Dashing buccaneer, radical intellectual with tortured soul and eyes you can lose yourself in, sexy outsider who can't help but play by his own rules quite probably outside the law because he's just such an ultra hot wild card maverick type.

or........

B) Provincial geography teacher with a somewhat cavalier approach to personal hygiene, dirty old man with wandering hands and a proclivity for hanging around school gates, suicide bomber, the type of guy who'll ask you for 85p (for the 'night shelter') then try and flog you the Big Issue...only you won't even get a copy because he'll then try and guilt trip you into not taking one in order that he can 'sell' it again.

Cast your votes.
