Moustaches

[Trillipse]

Just simply wrong?

[Romeo]

I started growing in a moustache at 14, so I kept it for ten years. It was a natural distinguishing feature which was particular to myself. It was me. Then moustaches suddenly went out of fashion (except for soldiers, police and eventually gay men), so I got rid of it. I've been clean shaven ever since.

[WaldoMcFroog]

What do you hope to establish by asking such a 'question' (which is actually just an opinion)? You apparently have a view on the matter, but why should other people's make any difference?

Not annoyed or anything, I just can't understand what you hope to achieve.

[Trillipse]

Oops! Sorry Waldo, I seem to have mistaken this site for an open forum via which participants can hope to gain and be entertained by/from a variety of advice, knowledge, opinion and belief from a fairly broad member-base. I also seem to be labouring under the false belief that many postings are submitted in a pithy/lighthearted/flippant voice.

If i touched a raw nerve, i do apologise. I'll stick to questions about the ongoing husbandry of mongooses.

but (just for the record) i wasn't trying to "establish" anything. and no, the " 'question' " to which you so splendidly sneeringly referred as "actually just an opinion" was indeed a question. If you are having problems with it, I can juggle the words a little - add some context, re-define my reference base...

"I have never particularly liked moustaches, though am prepared to countenance the views of those Answer Bank contributors who may think differently and I would value any opinions on the matter."

There.

SO much more fun. Ain't it?

you got it Trillipse!

[georgit79]

and don't worry, Waldo's just got his knickers in a twist.

[pixi]

hi trillipse, oooerr someone got out of wrong side of bed didnt they?  what about the scary ringleader moustaches (glad you spelt it first) 

[Trillipse]

tee hee hee!

GRRRR!!!

and, indeed - ringmaster taches! Mmmmmmmm. nice. and such a rich variety of entendres!

[Romeo]

Not forgetting the pantomime baddy moustache! All decently dastardly villains must have a moustache with ends long enough to twirl while they cackle wickedly.

Nyeh - heh - heh - heh - heh!

[WaldoMcFroog]

Nope, no raw nerve touched, pants positively untwisted and it wasn't meant to be sneering. It was a genuine response to your question - are you thinking (if you're the right gender) of growing one or something? Are you trying to convince a partner not to?

[georgit79]

Trillipse- if your partner wants to grow a moustache (because I think I've deduced that you're a man, and I'm guessing you're straight), then I think it's time to get out of the relationship!

[Trillipse]

to be honest, i was simply being a little flippant and thought i might mine a potentially rich seam of opinion...

apologies if i seemed a little over-zealous in my reply earlier! i did get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. and indeed, the wrong bed.

but back to the topic - i think monsieur Stamp carried it off admirably, as Sgt Troy. But it does take a certain type of man to avoid looking

a) ridiculous

b) like a stereotype

c) scary

apologies to all those non ridiculous / scary / stereotyped mustachionados out there. i have my reasons...

[Trillipse]

and, georgit! splendid comment. if she does grow a moustache, i'll make sure it's tastefully waxed and twirled!

[jno]

definitely. shave 'em off, ladies. A little goatee can look nice on the right girl, though.

[pixi]

hey trillipse, what about a 'whatto ginger, bandits at 3.00' tash?

[pixi]

heee heee trillipse, it was just pointed out to me (by a really intelligent friend ) that i said ringleader stead of ringmaster, how on earth did you know what i meant?

[normyc]

If you're going to have one, make it a good one, like merv hughes, the legendary Aussie cricketer

[Albert Park]

Just 2 words for muzzies.

Stalin
Hitler

No, make it 3.

Saddam

No, make it more

Gary Neville

[justineo]

I like my husband's moustache, it tickles my fancy:)

[Romeo]

On the other hand, where would Poirot be without his tache? Perhaps he wouldn't be 'on the case' just as much were he to shave it off.

[Trillipse]

pixi! we too are clearly as wrong-headed as each other! I instantly intuited what you meant. i blame gestalt theory.

As for the spitfire fighter pilot/wing commander - i stand corrected - tashes are the biz.

And, Albert Park (great moniker, btw) maybe these are the reingleaders to which pixi freudianly referred (/re-furred)
