I have been having some baby time

Hello, good evening my Bearded Soldiers, it’s me your Bearded Captain, leader of all Beards, flag bearer of all Beards on digital and digital broadcasting media. I am that Beard who tries to make people laugh and I am that Beard who tries to make people smile.

Bearded Beloved’s we need to talk as to why there has been a prolonged absence. Bearded Soldiers, don’t think The Captain has left the shop, not at all. The Shop although closed, hadn’t been fully closed.

I have been blessed with the arrival of my daughter. She’s been taking a lot of my time, which I will happily give her too. The mission has stopped, but don’t worry. There are some comical pieces to write and there are some food places to review.

Many establishments on The Curry Mile and near the famous Longsight Market. Brothers, we will be back soon.

What fingerless gloves and a goatee have in common

Hello, good evening my Bearded Brothers, it’s me Ayyaz Malik aka the Bearded Captain, leader of all Beards and flag bearer of all Beards on digital and digital broadcasting media. I am that Beard who tries to make people laugh and I am that Beard who tries to make people smile.

Brothers I pray you’re well, looking after yourself and your Beards. Bearded Kings we need to talk about Goatees. Now my Soldiers you’re aware that a goatee is an excuse of a Beard, in the same way that fingerless gloves make a mockery of actual gloves.

Let me try to explain why. Brothers when you grow a Beard, the aim of the game is your face is warm, but with a goatee of course this isn’t the case. I say this because, well your cheeks are shaven, the rest of your face might be too.

A Beard is the face trophy all men deserve, one of the beauties is that in cold weather, like it is now, you can feel rest assured this won’t really be the case, You won’t have a face trophy because with the slightest breeze you will be shivering your face off.

Why and how does fingerless gloves have something in common is, that just like goatees they are imposters. But they keep your hands warm they say, but isn’t the fingertips a part of the hands? Fingerless gloves act like gloves, but don’t act like gloves when needed most.

Going down nostalgia lane, but when my dad would set up his market stall a lot of people had fingerless gloves. I didn’t see the point. The counter argument to that, they would say they need to grip things.

What I say in response to that? Get gripper gloves! You don’t grip things with your feet of course, but there’s no toeless socks. A gripe as you can tell, but my two scents on the matter, do you agree?

Going on holiday Asian style

Hello, good evening I hope you’re well, looking after yourselves and your Beards. It’s me Ayyaz Malik aka The Bearded Captain leader of all Beards, flag bearer of all Beards on digital and digital broadcasting media.

I am that Beard who tries to make people laugh and I am that Beard who tries to make people smile. Brothers we need to talk about an important issue in the life of The Bearded Captain, and that’s going on holiday.

As you would have gathered that I am Asian, no that isn’t just a tan, it’s a permanent tan. I didn’t have to pay a fortune of having to go on a sun bed and when there is sun, my skin can take it, I don’t need sun cream.

Well, that’s not entirely true, if the weather goes to nearly 50 degrees as it did do in Pakistan, then it was needed. Talking of going to Pakistan, that brings me to the topic of conversation, a holiday Asian style.

If you’re like my dad, then you would have mastered the art of fitting the suitcase to the brim. With my dad now going on holiday again, we start the whole packing process. This isn’t a one-man band operation.

Mum, gets the clothes ready, dad sets out and organises how the items will go in the suitcase and yours truly, is the Braun I lift the suitcase so dad can see the weight of our luggage , so dad is the brains. Packing the clothes, which true to custom, that gets done last minute.

With someone coming unannounced to give my mum and dad some items to take to Pakistan for them, then you realise why the delay. Going to places like Pakistan, you realise you take more of other people’s items than yours.

One thing that isn’t done last minute is getting to the airport. Even if you live 10 mins drive away from the airport like we do, leaving three hours early will only suffice in an Asian household. It’s anticipation similar to an iPhone release.

When you get there at the airport, it’s similar to how non-Asians would get ready for flights, and sit there in the departure lounge waiting for boarding. But having said that I am sure Asians window shop more.
Have I got that right? Do let me know in the comments.

The window wave, lives on!

Hello, good evening I hope you’re well Brothers. I go by the name of The Bearded Captain, leader of all Beards, and flag bearer of all Beards on digital and digital Broadcasting media. I am that Beard who tries to make people laugh and I am that Beard who tries to make people smile.

Bearded Beloved’s I pray you’re well, looking after yourselves and your Beards! Bearded Kings we need to talk, we need to talk about The Window Wave. Bearded Soldiers of mine, I am not sure if you remember me mentioning the window wave, have a look here:

With me not working in the office due to covid, The Window Wave became non-existent. There was just no way for me to do it. What at home? When it’s night time, the curtains are drawn, which drew the curtain of any hopes of this iconic moment living on.

Marek and Taylor, some colleagues of mine from a previous job, were the backbone for The Window Wave being able to gain any traction in the first place. I have tried it in many other roles since, but it’s not quite been the same, until now.

Them two are irreplaceable beacons of the window movement shall we call it, but thankfully I have some understanding colleagues (Andrew Cutts), who just for one day helped The Window Wave live on. Being a whole day without my daughter has been tough, really tough.

What’s got me through is, being able to look forward to The Window Wave, thankfully I had some colleagues to help get me through it. To execute The Wave, I had no one near me, but not to be deterred, I messaged my colleague on Teams, and he read my message and duly obliged.

The legend that is The Window Wave lives on. Taylor and Marek, I hope you’re proud. It’s over and out from The Bearded Captain.

The time we thought we were driving motor bikes

Hello, good evening my Bearded Brothers, it’s me Ayyaz aka The Bearded Captain, leader of all Beards and flag bearer of all Beards. Brothers, I pray you’re well, looking after yourselves and your Beards.

I want to about an issue that’s important in my life of me your Bearded Captain, my childhood. My Bearded Kings, I am sure you remember riding on your bikes. One-handed and if you’re like me one or none handed, those were the days.

If you were truly like me you would have fallen off your bike and grazed your shoulder and still have the scar of that incident some 20-25 years later. I remember the scene like it was yesterday. I came into my house after falling down on the road in the middle of the quiet cul-de-sac side road which was right near our house.

Mum bless her heart, freaked out, but vaseline worked wonders the same way paracetamol works well for a bad stomach. You know where am I going with this. Back to my memories of riding our bikes, however, brings me to the memory of when we would put cans right near where the front brakes of the bike were.

We would peddle fast and it was like we were riding a motorbike based on the sound. It wasn’t, but it still makes me laugh to this day. In reality, I won’t ride a motorbike as they neg me out, but as someone who wants to live in Pakistan, I don’t think I could get away with it there.

I am getting away with it here. For just one moment it was like I was riding a motorbike, and that was awesome. It’s over and out from The Bearded Captain.
