TimeLady - Don't be silly, when he is wearing his beard it amplifies his voice a thousandfold. Every word that drops from his lips is a veritable pearl of wisdom. Even if it just sounds like muffled noises to your uneducated ears.

Yes, it's the Brian Blessed model.

Just don't wear it outside next spring when blackbirds are looking for nesting sites though.

Is this ManFriday the Hagrid edition?

Looks fabulous!

Oh that’s a thing of beauty

It’s very Brian Blessed.

I'll be amazed if it doesn't make the Daily Mail on its first #ManFriday outing.

‘‘Tis a thing of great magnificence.

Do you think I could get a knitted merkin.

Do you think that's what Santa Claus looked like when he was younger?

I haven’t tried talking yet but I’m expecting everyone to fall over themselves to agree with my manly wisdom.

Hagrid! At 5’4” I supppse I could be his full-human half brother!

I just googled merkin

It will look even more authentic when it has little bits of food caught in it.

Are you going to stroke it in a manly manner, whilst thinking great manly thoughts.
