Clean-shaven Irish Times cultural critic Donald Clarke has called for a ban on beards

When Donald admitted he feared
The sight or the feel of a beard
Was he being sardonic
Or merely ironic?
I don’t care. He’s wrong and he’s weird.

    It would take a bloody Trinity Maths student to write something to resonate with the masses.

    As a resident of Portobello/D8 I have to say a sniper armed with a crossbow on each end of Camden Street should be allowed shoot the appalling hirsute hipster tech worker brigage who have gentrified the area beyond reach of native Dubs. Check out any of those “street food” places on the street some evening – great ranks of them like Sturmabteilung in a beer cellar in 1930’s Munich squeezed together on benches, buttocks two metres wide straining the cheap stitching on their Zara jeans, sweaty with beer, noses stuck in bowls of steaming noodles.

    The men are as bad.

        The jeans are terrible but their other trousers aren’t too bad. I am still looking for a decent place to find jeans though. Everyone seems to make jeans for people with huge fat waists and broomsticks for legs.

          I find Zara clothes in general to be hideously ugly

          bad material, badly made

          I pretty much dismiss anyone who shops there as being of low worth and base character

            I will definitely agree with you on the quality; The stitching always comes apart and any zips are guaranteed to break within 6 months. They are good for cheap, non-descript, relatively respectable looking trousers that you don’t mind getting trashed, a must for cyclists at this time of year.
