Days That Shook The World
My dad (pictured) is going to be on BBC4 next week, playing General Haig in the "WWI Christmas Truce" episode. This is because he is cooler than you.
Haven't heard about the WWI Christmas Truce? By the end of the war, the Germans and Tommies had drawn 2:2 so they decided to settle it with penalties. They might excel at "shove half-pfennig" and "Maus Trap", but luckily for us those Krauts kick like girls!
General Haig appears as if he's about to ask the unsuspecting Bosch to "open the gate". I can almost hear the cries of "Bang bang, you're dead, 50 bullets in your head" drifting out of the trenches. That and "Pipes of Peace".

Those who know me, know that I flirt with facial hair. I'm jealous of your father's beard. It commands respect.
I'm not sure if it's truly square or an upside-down loaf of Hovis. There's at least a suggestion of dimpling there.
Impressive nonetheless.
