That would make me literally a "Barbarian" so I would not do it; also being a beard wearer myself for the last 35 years.Bougy Fan wrote:Please tell me you took some root shears to Costa's beard Grant ?

Re: 18th May on TV
Do they ABC at the hotel Grant as we will be in Canberra that weekend. Will have to learn how to preprogramme the new PVR. The old one blew its fuses last week.

Re: 18th May on TV
I have a short beard myself - but whenever he is on Gardening Australia it's like the hair has a life of it's own I find it very distracting 
I preferred Peter or even Steven to the beard with legs
