Title: When was Simon last clean-shaven?
Post by: Dubai Danny on March 14, 2017, 09:31:05 AM
Possibly an odd question, but does anyone remember when Simon was last sans face-fungus? Asking for the missus!

Have to say, I've long been of the opinion that the only point to growing a beard is being able to shave it off and immediately look ten years younger :)

Apparently, according to Mrs H , I look older when clean shaven!!

He was clean shaven on the Expletive Delighted cover in '86 and bearded on Before Your Time in '87 -

My Google Image search came up with 4/5th's of the picture I was after (missing Gerry C and black & white). This was taken c. 1998-2001 (?), if anyone's got a full version of this photo in colour then please post it here, but this gives you the gist. If Simon's been clean-shaven since this group photo then again, please post...

Never let it be said that middle-aged women have a thing for Simon...

The more topical question would be when was Chris Leslie last bearded?  :o

I apologise, I knew he'd had one since about November last year, but before that when would the last time? About 1980/1981?

That word had a different meaning in Chaucer's time...
