Because otherwise he would grow a beard!

Why are most shaver sockets dual voltage?

See above.
Because I'd look like an itchy hermit with a personal hygiene problem.

The beard goes grey first :o(
Other newsgroups have mugshot galleries eg uk.rec.walking ( I last shaved on March 10 1975):

I want that wun.
Strangely, never known to post anything!
I don't understand that answer ...
Nothing wrong with that.
I'd be happy to provide a mug shot for a d-i-y gallery.

I missed out an "otherwise".
Christian.
ah - I understand, thanks.
Hmm.
Do you mean that you think all men with beards look like that or would it just be you?
Mary
Now I'm worried ;o)
eew !
Vaseline intensive care moisturising body wash. (I think)
Moisturises as it goes....
Smooth ... ;)

Beards are evil. If you need any proof, go to:
Most. Some look fine and well kept, but look like they take about 10 times as long to maintain than shaving.

I believe a cleanly-shaved chin looks perfectly manly.
Of course, not everyone has the chin for a clean shave :-)

No, that only proves that beards are gay. I've not seen Brokeback Mountain, and now I don't have to.
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
Beards are tickly and irritating - but have the advantage of being a source of unexpected snacks and forgotten trifles.
The message from snipped-for-privacy@technologist.com contains these words:
Mostly 'cos it's handy in the shower.
The message from Nigel Molesworth contains these words:
They do seem associated with mad stary eyes, innit.
And what's wrong with a beard, Nigel? I do the manly thing and grow the facial fuzz. Makes me sound heroic until you find out that I grow the beard in the winter because it keeps my chin nice and warm!
Of more importance, why are there more than a dozen shaver sockets advertised on Screwfix - makes the job of choosing the perfect one for the new en-suite tricky. (I'm installing said socket as a summer contingency in case anyone asks).
Mungo :-)
P.S. American in-laws decided to brave air-travel and come visit sunny Scotland a year or so ago. They bought one of those "adaptor" plugs for some mains electrical appliance and when the device failed to work they asked me if I could help. Yes: the device just did a pin conversion, not a pin-and-voltage. So some nice little
115 volt gadget got the full 240 volt treatment (whose peak is 330v or so if I remember correctly that you multiple the value by the square root of two) : bang.Join the Discussion
