Movember - Who's up for it this year?

With the end of the year rapidly approaching, it is almost Movember again :lol: .

I was just wondering if anyone here would be taking part. If nothing else I believe it gets you a +1 on your FCN.

Last year it was good fun to see loads of 'tashes all over the place. Hopefully the autumn rugby tests will see the lads all sporting questionable facial hair again :shock: . If only the cycling brigade would get in on the action. Mud spattered 'tashes on the CX scene would complement the cowbells nicely :wink: .

    It's too cold to lose the beard (plus i'd have to change my username to hattache). I'm running a mo-running 10k for movember in a couple of weeks though so I'll still be doing my little bit.

    Not a chance. My attempts at facial hair growing make Gary Neville look like Tom Selleck. :(

    I am not losing the undergrowth either - but will twizzle the ends of the 'tache into Dali'esque points in sympathy.

  • If you're old enough to consider growing a 'tash, you're old enough to know better.

    If anyone needs convincing to give it a go this pic of me after movember last year (before I lost 5 stone) should do the trick... :lol:

  • Indeed! Last year I looked like a Village People reject. Helped a lot by being in the construction industry :oops: .

    I too am incapable of growing a moustache at the fine age of 27. For that reason, I'm out.

    I'm willing to invest £5 but for that I'm going to need 30%

    I'm going to bed tonight with a proper child-frightening moustache. Will decide in the morning whether to get rid and play by the rules.

    Don't much like rules, mind.

    keep it. because by the end of week 1 when you tell people you're doing movember they'll think you are made up of pure testosterone to be sporting such an advanced tache in such a short space of time. :)

    You have to be clean shaven from day1 and then can only shave non-mo areas.

    Growing a beard for a week then shaving in a mo is cheating!

    There's a bunch of us at work all growing. 1 man stands out as a mo-cheatah though as he's already parading a few days growth. I'll be raising at our next mo-bro beer session and suggesting appropriate fines

    work are taking it seriously. Just had someone come round with a camera taking snaps. Apparently there will be week on week pictures going on.

    On the upside, they're trying to organise free beer once a week, every week for the mo-brothers and mo-sistas. Result!

    The guilt is getting to me, so this is about to come off. Seems such a terrible waste :(
