Ah, good old Beardism at work.

Apparently the son of one of the people I regularly travel with now refers to me as "the hobo in a suit" (because of the beard and my hair which tends to wander if I don't comb it back into place regularly. I don't like gel)

Mind you it's probably a fair revenge. He has the full moody goth look. Long hair. Black clothes. Heavy metal T-shirts. Wrist-band with little spikes on it. Politest 16 year old I've met in ages. Shook hands when introduced. Gave his seat up to a lady on the train. All that sort of thing.

I told his mother (my regular commuter friend) how pleasantly surprised I was and how he was proof you can't judge people by appearances. Apparently when she passed this on he asked "What did he expect? That I'd grunt and spit?"

Cold Topic

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
