Vikings have style

Or so it says on this rather fab piece of grafitti I saw on my way home this evening. And actually, I agree.

I smiled to myself as I was taking the photo as the splendid beard on this guy is very much like Roland's is, if he lets it grow. Although whereas this guy's beard seems to be long and flowing Roland's is of the wiry, bushy variety. But just as red. With specks of distinguished grey.

Some years ago when he worked as a housing adviser a client made a complaint about him because they found his beard 'menacing'. It wasn't doing anything, it didn't have any small rodents living in it, and he was always very very careful not to leave any bits of food in there. Apparently it was the redness that upset the client ....
