As I mentioned, I coloured my hair to raise funds for the Leukemia Foundation, as did some others in the Risk and Sustainable Management Group. Now, thanks to the marvel of cameraphones, here are the pics

Nice pics, John! The contrast with your bearded days is striking, to say the least. I hope your passport photos have been updated.
I couldn’t have picked you out of a police line-up of two. Unless you were talking.
Black Beard transforms into Eric the Red. Are you have a midlife crisis John? When are you getting the ear ring and tatoo?
i suppose this is a worthy idea, but badly effectuated. there is a big class of people who haven’t enough hair to shave or color. (trust me on this)
perhaps a tattoo? it could be a permanent statement, or a wash-off. now that i think about it, it’s amazing that lefty young men don’t have “social democrat!” tattooed on their cheek. no, not cheek- they are bearded, so forehead.
No comment. (Hmmm, is ‘no comment’ a comment?)
I can’t believe you didn’t grow the ZZ Top back for last Movember. Where’s your social conscience?
Are you perhaps related to the comic actor Adrian Edmonson, whose character Vivian you so closely resemble?
Say it ain’t so, John, say it ain’t so.
aargh! Johnny we hardly knew ye.
It’s not a bad look, John. It’s much, much better than the beard. 🙂
It makes you look about 50 years younger.
Who do we have to pay to make you look normal (ie post-seventies Left academic) again?
I like it!
[…] Quiggin shaved off his iconic beard for the cause in a father-and-son shave. (This year, he’s coloured his hair […]
omigod, it’s Perez Quiggin!
haha! you should upload the first image into your wikipedia page.
That is so pathetic! I was expecting green or purple at the very least!!! I mean, in these photos you look like a normal 21st century academic.
