Come come you KNOW me! I’ve seen a pic of Iuv and can confirm he’s pure beefcake muscle ( not sure if he slobbers but the beard would catch it). That’s a tenner you owe me Iuv.
I agree about the beard, too much is just awkward. As you can see from the photo, I really try to keep it trimmed neatly around the mouth - except for those pesky, frisky whiskers!
Ha! While I may not have the English talent and penchant for humility, self-deprecation, and understatement, S, (Yes, I've been reading Watching The English, again), I am not so arrogant as to ever suggest I'm a silver fox! I have to say, though, that I really do respect all of the qualities that Kate Fox points out. She also makes it all so amusing!
Unfortunately, there is a reason for my desire for anonymity on the web, though it is not terribly important at this juncture. I just started it awhile back in anticipation.
I will say, though, that there is one thing I am very content with and that is lack of the typical gut of someone my age. I fought hard to reduce the little bit I began to acquire. One of the many things that are just accepted as fait accompli concerning aging, which are ridiculous.
