Title: Movember!
Post by: MrBump on October 10, 2011, 06:24:19 PM: Decided to participate in Movember this year, as it will allow me to indulge in my secret admiration of all things Tom Selleck - http://mobro.co/markdemanbey (http://mobro.co/markdemanbey), if anyone is interested in donating to a worthy cause!

However, my main reason for posting is this:

Marshall are sponsoring this year - I wish I lived closer, I reckon it might be a cracking party for five quid!

Mark.

Absolutely!

There will be weekly shots of the hideous ginger and grey progress...

Post by: Andrew W on October 11, 2011, 09:05:26 AM: Ah Movember. As a year round sporter of a 'stache I greet it with a mixture of joy and dread. Joy because it's great to see people raising money for charity and because it's nice to see more mo's about the place. Dread because I spend the entire month replying, "No, I'm not doing Movemeber, I always have this" which gets annoying and then some people seem to be offended that I'm not doing it for charity. Good outweighs the bad though, as with most things in life.

More MO-tivation for you. :)

Yeah, I got that too, but I'm gonna do it anyway. She rarely comes near me anyway.

(obviously, I mean my wife, not yours...)

I first grew my goatee to give myself an "artificial jawline" (Jeremy Beadle style (RIP)). Always said I'd shave it off if I lost my double chin. But even though I now have a chiselled jawline, I've become too attached to the facial fuzz to get rid of it.

Post by: FernandoDuarte on December 01, 2011, 01:11:38 AM: :) It looks kinda cool! too bad my beard doesn't close to the mustache... I'd like to know how i'd look with this kind of mustache but, seems like not even when I'm 70 :lol:
