PRIME minister Tony Blair has outlined his plans for a full beard when he leaves office at the end of this month.

The beard is expected to start on July 1 but will not be publicly available for at least four weeks.
Blair then plans to spend around six weeks in a desert, possibly the Mojave or the Gobi, according to senior Labour sources.
In late September he will take the beard on a world tour, during which he will attempt to solve intractable problems, help sick people get access to state-of-the-art medical treatment and make key speeches on the potential benefits of meekness.
Blair plans to finish his tour next Spring and is then expected to take on a series of lucrative directorships.
Meanwhile, publishing industry insiders say there are currently four separate biographies of Blair in the pipeline.
