hi
« on: September 16, 2011, 11:08:48 AM »
Hi, my name is John. I have today registered as a member.

I just thought I'd say hello.

I am a close friend of Andy (ggsuk) and he has been persuading me to join, so it was either join or stitch his lips together to get him to shut up.

Anyway hello to everyone, and it looks like a very interesting site. I am not yet fully bald but I am working towards it.

I live in England, and have done all my life. I am married although we are in the process of separating after 23 years of wedlock, and I have one son called Darren. He is 22 years old and he is a lot like me, even as far as his hair style goes.

I am a big football fan (Manchester United) and also rugby and cricket. I love swimming and have my own pool so I swim every day before I go to work. I work for the city council. Before this I was in the army, and before that I was in the territorial army, which is where I met Andy and we have been close ever since.

Ok thank you for the site and I will wish you all a nice evening

Welcome John. Fantastic beard. And you'd look great if you just go totally bald.

He has tried it, and it did suit him perfectly (IMO), but he didnt feel confident.

Hi everyone, thanks for your warm welcome.

Apologies to you if my picture caused some offense. I have removed the photograph and will edit it and add it to my profile again. I live in a village with a poor broadband connection so I connect to the Internet via satellite so it takes me a while to upload.

I cropped my hair very short this afternoon and I was quite happy about it until my betrothed told me I look like a furry grapefruit. I am going to persevere though. I am not a selfish man but this is something I need to do for me.

Anyway thank you again for the welcome, bye for now, John.

furry grapefruit

Coming from most people, that could be seen as funny. From her, I can imagine the acid running through her veins that made her say it. You'll have to remind me again why you married her. If she were to make an occasional flippant remark, then so be it, but its like she's hell bent on destroying your confidence.

Apart from that,  :-X

As for your pic, I doubt anyone was offended. Surprised maybe. :o maybe. But probably not offended :D
