No need to buy expensive razors, or shave daily. Use saved money on fags and, if desired, beard conditioner.

i.e. not an all-over-face beard. More damn trouble than it's worth, frankly.

sorry. I'm currently only long-stubbly at the moment, as I gave myself a rather fetching handle-bar moustache for halloween.

yes, that is a different kettle of beards.
I just let mine grown until it gets long enough to get matted and make me look like a tramp, then shorten it a little.

Amongst other things I like the cut of, your jib is indeed high on my list.

and you sir, and you. I dare say if you happen to be happening upon Germany at some future date, then I should be greatly obliged whence we two partook in a quaffing of beverage and a puff on the old pipe.

I can't say I've ever referred to my manly piece as "the old pipe".
Not previously anyway.

My aged relative inhabits the environs of Hamburg, so visits to the Fatherland* are oft upon the books.

Far away from everywhere.
1 hour from Leipzig, 2-3 hours from Berlin.
It's east germany. Every other major city is a bit further away.
Hopefully going to Berlin for Christmas shopping, but no idea about when, I've got my final PhD. exam on the 5th, so I can't really think past then at the moment, without my arse falling out.
Edit: Also, the trains in Germany are a bit fucked at the moment. They've discovered technical problems with the tilt-technology of the trains, which means a lot of trains are no longer operable, and the ones that are, go very slowly, late, or not at all.

fuck, my first thought there was: "I don't remember that bit in Napoleon Dynamite"
but, then I stopped being retarded, and remembered that they have a yearly Napoleon parade thingy, where people dress up (accurately) as French soldiers and Jenensers. I'm not really sure what they do afterwards... maybe a fight somewhere. It's a very big occasion though, and quite nice, if you like that kind of thing. Weimar is also nearby, which has a bit of Napoleon influence, the little ubiquitous bugger that he is.

Tj: okay, board, if I were to choose from these cities to go to in December, which should I choose:
a. Madrid
b. Stockholm
c. Istanbul (been there before though)

I've only been to Madrid from your list.
It has a good amount of museums and is great for bars & food.

Trondheim is a good spot - awesome Northern Lights this last February.
Edit: If you're staying in Stockholm, stay at least a couple of nights at the Grand... one of the best ever. Great bar as well. *hic*
If you can bill your clients for it, that is

Madrid'll be damp and meh.
Istanbul's not worth the trip.
Stockholm'll be cold and snowy and ace.

Awesome for museums, art galleries, football, tapas bars, shopping. Although I do prefer Barcelona...
It's really cold at the moment though so bring a jumper!
