Title: A British author and journalist's view on beards
Post by: Mr Jules on July 10, 2013, 12:00:56 PM: Will Self is a British author and journalists who appears on television making some welcome and witty comments (well in my opinion)

In this article, he might be getting somewhat concerned about the trend among British youths with growing a beard.

Yes, good description of Will Self. He's good value on Question Time.

Will Self had a particularly notorious moment on the then prime minister John Major's plane.

We all know long words it doesnt mean that you have to throw as many of them as possible in to a sentence. He should learn that to be a great orator you have to connect with your audience, not be condescending. Rant over!
