I don't mean I wouldn't talk to you, or get up and walk away if you sat next to me on the bus, but well, I couldn't ever kiss anyone with facial hair. I just couldn't - it's not that I don't think men look handsome with taches, it's just an instinctive reaction. But that's fine cos women don't usually have them - well, not the ones I fancy anyway!<br /><br />You do look a lot like your greatgrandfather.
