He started growing his so he'd have enough to headbang effectively at a Status Quo gig
(no word of a lie) and he's not cut it since. I occasionally get bits lopped off mine when it's getting a bit excessive. He has mocked me for this, so if I've managed to catch up with him on the length front (fnar) then I shall be suitably smug.

I think I'm looking forward to meeting him.
I'm growing mine for no particular reason, I look a bit stupid at the moment but I kind of like that.

If nothing else, after a few beers he'll be obstinate and opinionated enough to make a good substitute for Monty
I'm trying to imagine you with a longer barnet - I've only ever known you with the short hair/beard combo.

Mind you, even Al supposedly had enormous dreadlocks at one point...

Edit: Don't be discouraged. In the transition between Socially Acceptable Hair and Long Flowing Locks, there is often a period of Looking Like a Dickhead. Stick with it, you never know what you might be able to achieve.

Re your edit, I have no idea where to go with it, and I certainly won't have long, flowing locks, I'll probably be more crazy wavy curly afro man than that.
I'm in it for the experiment, in honesty. I used to change my appearance week by week with my hair, beard and clippers and I realised I've looked the same for the past couple of years, so I fancied a change. It's certainly gone past one awkward stage already and I'm wearing my hats less which is always a good sign. In reality I don't mind looking like a cunt - with a face like mine I had to get over that years ago :)
