Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I'm no expert, but I don't recognise "...shave them them and nobody would give a naff if the smelly weasels were drowned by the rocks near the bottom of the creek, because they're be horrible little naffers..." as being Shakespeare. 
Or did you mean The Bared - as in the naked rambler?
Or maybe The Beard -not sure who that could be right now.
On the subject of beards, Shard, you'd be a good person to ask this.
I know you don't pay attention to footballers but there seem to be an awful lot of them - top level - with beards. Not just much more than usual but really full, bushy ones. I think they look very silly normally let alone on professional athletes.
I know there was a national beard day or something but that's just a day and the period leading up to it for growing. But there are so many, for so long now. So to the question.
Is it a general trend with blokes in the UK or is it just something footballers are just doing?

Not sure that footballers want to be seen as hipsters though.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Used my PR card for the first time, it was weird and a tad emotional joining the 'other' queue! However, as i was on a flight consisting of only Canadian, Americans and PR holders, it would've have been quicker in the foreigner queue!

Is it not an option to use the other passport line because technically you have a passport that isn't Canadian or American but if you have a PR do you have to go through the Canadian line?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
In 2003 to 2004 when I last arrived I flew to Montreal 6 times and as far as I was aware there was one line (zig-zag) for everyone every time.
Donald Sutherland was just in front of me in the line. I doubt he'd line up with a mishmash of 'others' if he didn't have to.
