there is a long beard hair sticking out over his mouth. Ewww!! Imagine kissing that and getting hairs in your mouth...

Exactly, Twigs.

LadyDamerel · 20/07/2011 16:31

Although I may allow him to keep the beard in the limerick picture.

But only if he asks very, very nicely Grin.

DumSpiroSpero · 20/07/2011 17:02

Or even begs!

LadyDamerel · 20/07/2011 17:02

On his knees.

With chocolate.

SupermassiveLBD · 20/07/2011 17:09

Give him a break, The poor man probably just fell straight off a plane Grin

TheSmallPrint · 20/07/2011 17:14

Grin at Twigs Limerick!

Maud I think you'll find I was in the beard camp thank you.

SupermassiveLBD · 20/07/2011 17:22

Heh heh, when I read your post, Small, I was thinking blearily ''Beard camp, bear camp, what's that? Is it like boot camp?''

Silly me!

SupermassiveLBD · 20/07/2011 17:23

not bear, but beard again. obviously Blush It's the heat.

TheSmallPrint · 20/07/2011 17:28

Its where you go to learn to wear your beard with pride Massive, I go quite regularly.

TheSmallPrint · 20/07/2011 17:29

. Obviously I don't have a beard. Just a moustache.

SupermassiveLBD · 20/07/2011 17:39

I did wonder, Small. After all, with your nickname you might have been a lady dwarf.

I don't have much of either beard or moustache but I do have half a dozen rogue chin hairs. It's a highly sophisticated look when one of them succeeds in eluding the tweezers.

PassTheTwiglets · 20/07/2011 17:44

Who wrote that limerick - was it Edward Lear? (too lazy to Google)

LadyD, I love the Hobbit press conf, beard, which I used that picture - you can still see his lovely face in that one.

LadyDamerel · 20/07/2011 17:54

I think the anti-Beard brigade wins though, 4:3.

The Academy has spoken. Let the Man know.

On the subject of our own lovely facial hair, MasterD1 looked at me the other day and said "Mummy, why are you growing a moustache?"

Needless to say, I waxed it pronto Grin.

LadyVenetia · 20/07/2011 19:13

Hello all! Sorry I've not been around. Anyone here?

LadyVenetia · 20/07/2011 19:14

Now I've found the thread and got it bookmarked I'll drop in later. Glad to see it's all still happening...

LadyVenetia · 20/07/2011 19:16

Hey - who's Lady Damerel - are we acquainted? Or a newbie? Kinda ironic considering our names, he he!

TheSmallPrint · 20/07/2011 19:25

Hey Lady V long time no see! Yes were still here, still obsessing. Do come back and join us in our lovely new premises. What do you think to our new lecturer?

OP posts:
LadyDamerel · 20/07/2011 19:27

I'm here Grin.

Hello, lovely to meet you. I'm new(ish) to the Academy, but have been LadyD on the boards since I read the GH novel a few months back (and before I discovered the delight that is a GH/RA combination).

Generally I encourage Spiro to behave badly and cause Maud to do this on a regular basis.

LadyVenetia · 20/07/2011 19:37

Lol!!

Hello Lady Damerel then. I'm glad to meet new lecturers any time! Is this a recent specialism? Or are you a seasoned researcher?

PassTheTwiglets · 20/07/2011 19:51

Are you here, LadyD? I'll unlock my profile if so.

LadyVenetia · 20/07/2011 19:54

Here - brb, just waiting hand and foot on the little ones for a mo'

LadyDamerel · 20/07/2011 19:56

Hullo, Twigs, I am now. MiniD's are abed, MrsGurnard is tidying the kitchen so I'm ready for Mr Sexy Grin.

LadyV, I'm not a seasoned ReseArcher but I am totally obsessed improving my study skills all the time.

LadyVenetia · 20/07/2011 20:05

Back but you were after LadyD not LadyV weren't you Twigs? Confused

PassTheTwiglets · 20/07/2011 20:05

Oh, FFS, it's doing it again - I keep changing the privacy setting but it won't accept it. Maybe it takes a little while as it went all by itself, a few mins later, last time. So check back in a bit and see if it's worked.

LadyV, geat to see you again! Hope the swimming training isnt' wearing you out! The profile thing is that one of DD's teachers, looks a bit like The Man but these strange people here refuse to accept it :) Well, ok, I know I'm clutching at straws but in my head, everyone starts to look like him (you know how in cartoons when a hungry dog looks at a person and sees them as a giant ham?)

PassTheTwiglets · 20/07/2011 20:06

There you go - I should be clickable now, LadyD.

Just going to have some dinner then will brb.
