An I Love Philosophy Gathering ?

ooh, we could get excitable beardy man from royal holloway. i’m sure he’d love to come.

Umm, the bearded old man that Dorien Gray was talking about is actually a clean shaven young man who pretends to be a bearded old man. Sorry to burst your bubble, but i didn’t want you to get your hopes up.

fuck that then - i’m not going if everyone’s clean shaven

Hiren, you fucker. For a start, Dorian Gray mentioned no-one. As far as this website is concerned, he is dead, though he is still alive, young etc. And who is this clean-shaven young man who pretends to be bearded you’re talking about. If you thought I was referring to you, then you’re right, the bearded man is not bearded, but you. My bearded man is a mad family friend who lives across the road spending his time being a wealthy amateur scholar. He studied sociology at Cambridge for 9 years before he was chucked out for undermining the SPS penpushers. He’s very nice. And he has more facial hair than all of us put together. He also likes young white girls. He divorced his 20yrs. wife last year.

Oh shit, i do apologise. I thought you meant flamin’. I just re-read your post and it’s clear you did’nt. I retract my original post. Sorry.

JJ Maclean (Flamin’Red to his friends) is indeed a fictional character.
He does not exist.
He has worn a beard in the past, but now he merely has stubble.

But I’m sure that if he did exist, then he would pay a considerable sum to fly from Black Rock Falls (a small district of Milwaukee) Wisconsin to spend time with the delightful people from the philosophy website.

Why does it matter who a person is if he speaks from the heart?
Does it make my views any less valid?

At least I dont hide behind any pretence in my language.

Leo, does your bearded friend’s beard compare to Wilson’s demure but overpowering bush? And do you reckon you could persuade Sarfaraz to come?

pangloss - the middle of nowhere is suffolk.

i share your pain in regards to living nowhere important. i claim its nottingham (i have a right my postal area is notts!) but really i live in the deepest darkest area of derbyshire. the sheep rumours are true regarding most people around here as well :frowning:

hey i prefer it out here to a city. we have proper trees, decent views and good air. but there isn’t much happening :unamused:

lou, it sounds like we’re in with beardy man. we fill both criteria. he does sound very interesting.

and yes, i think the exciteable beardy man from royal holloway should be number one on every list of invitations ever written from now on.

But we can find something adventurous to do in the middle of nowhere surely. Lots of things can happen that aren’t even in an interesting place!

i’d go to the middle of nowhere for a beardy man convention. it’d be grand.

well, i could alwys not shave for a couple of days beforehand…

you pulled a beardy man once didn’t you lou? hehe

i forgot about that. didn’t really count, as he was far from learned. i think he worked in some sort of bmx shop. clever boy…

heh heh heh … i’d forgotten that you well fancied the beardy classics teacher from KGS, lou. still makes me laugh a LOT. and that he turned out to be the singer in a death metal band. aaaaaaaah hahahaha.

does anyone have any more stories regarding my exploits with beardy men?

Ahhh, real-life is A-1 SUPAR

ang ang ang :laughing:
