Have we hit the Beard Hype crest?

Ah beards, they used to be kinda cool in a masculine Rocky balboa training in a mountain cabin kinda way. Then the arty pricks with their hats and fake ****ing glasses decided it was their new thing. On their high nelly bikes because they are too retro for a car or new bike, God forbid. And yes they are the same tossers that will have tattoo sleeves and might like to wear their trousers a little short so you can see they have a very colourful pair of socks on. It's just to make sure that we all know they don't conform and that have their own off beat style and wacky personality.

In a word.....****.

do they ever have bearded ladies in circuses nowadays?

Plenty of life left in the beards yet.

Yes, but unless you can pull off a hipster, a trucker, or a tom selleck look, its still only going to keep your top lip warm.

Aside from making a load of money for various cancer charities.

I've never seen more beards in my life, I blame a combination of Vikings (the show) and UFC fans

You're talking about these 2 people as if they are still a thing.... it's not 2010 anymore, noone gives a toss about either except maybe some younger women with a thing for older men

Who is this Noone, and why is he tossing?

I always feel scruffy with any kind of growth on my face.Nothing beats a freshly shaved face with a splash of aftershave.

Was in L. Mulligan the Grocers in Stoneybatter a while back. It was like a friggin beard convention in there, they should have clip on beards behind the bar for those of us who are less hirsute.

You'll get that in a place that charges a tenner for a scotch egg.

Not in Longford anyway, all my cousins were rocking beards when I was home the last time & half the players at the county final as well. It was really bizarre.

Did the men have them as well?

I can't understand why someone could be so upset by a bit of facial hair. Unless it's giving you beard rash of course.

It's still got lovely beers all right! The pretentious so and sos? They're invading the feckin' Cobblestone now as well.

Beards are the new skinny jeans.

A combination of both is very offputting in a woman!

This is true, but i still like it! Moreso on your average chap than those damn dirty hipsters!
Now, im off to trawl through picture upon picture of Tom Selleck for the evening...

Beards, like many things, just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Pwindedd · 15-10-2014 09:47PM

I've never seen my dads chin. Ever. Even in his baby pictures he had a beard !

His is possibly the oldest ever beard in the world. These new beards are flash in the pan beards, pretenders, tribute acts to the wonder of MY DADS BEARD!

Augmerson · 15-10-2014 09:54PM

I was growing a beard before it became cool and I'll be growing one when it's not cool. I don't give a ****e how it comes across to anyone. It's my ****ing face and I'll by as lazy as I ****ing like about shaving it and I don't care if I look like ****ing Rolf Harris.

Diabhal Beag · 15-10-2014 10:00PM

The amount of utter sissies I know with beards has devalued the aura of the great beard.

Meangadh · 15-10-2014 10:07PM

Jaysus some of ye get fierce angry about what facial hair a man decides to grow/not grow. It's just hair for feck's sake, calm down.

A good indication of any male fashion trend is by the time inter county footballers are sporting it, the shark has been truly jumped

the beard thing is particularly obnoxious though

Give me a bit of stubble over a beard any day. Theres nothing more relaxing that drifting off to sleep while stroking someones stubbly chin.

Is that why you're not allowed on public transport?

tastyt · 16-10-2014 12:50PM

Real men like Chuck Norris used their beards for good, it's well known he didn't have a chin under his beard but another fist.

These days beards are used as tear catchers for imposters when they get a puncture or somebody walks into the bar with the same pair of shoes as them.

Have we hit the Beard Hype crest?
