No, not at all... this would be just shave-dodging! And, be honest - the 
  80s have long passed by, there's absolutely no need anymore to mimick 
George Michael! Perhaps you should better try to emulate Devendra 
Banhart or the Fleet Foxes...

As a contrast, attached here an example of a REAL POVghan beard...

See you on www.khyberspace.de!

...and of course the longhair club! (o.k., the mane didn't come out well 
on my photo...)

Sometimes I wonder if my glasses make me the only person who sees lens 
flares in real life. :-)

Quite a lot still "under construction" there...

(BTW, greetings from Raderthal...)

I don't know if you are calling the code beautiful, or if you consider 
it obfuscated :)

I see glare shining from every bright object. It doesn't have to be very 
bright, either. It's so bad that my distance vision is no longer as 
clear as it used to be. We all get old in different ways :(

Yes, building a private website is a lifelong task...

Ha!

Sloopy is Abteilungsleiterin beim C & A-ha..."


(Translation:
"Sloopy's from Cologne, precisely, from Raderthal,
Sloopy is a department manager at C & A... [well-known German textile 
retail chain])

So, together with Tom Aust, we're already three POVers from Cologne!

See you in Khyberspace - or perhaps someday in real life!

P. S. I'm in Niehl...

No hint there  :-)   Just wondering about the silence of the club... They 
probably dyed their hair and pulled out of the club altogether.  :-)

But yes, I know what you mean. I was a little bit older though.

Great!

I love the composition with the angle of the flat just exactly behind you!
