It's the time of year to let your inner porn star, rock god, Magnum PI etc,,,

The rules are simple -
No beards (you can't grow a beard and then shave it to a tache)
Sideboards are OK but cannot join the tache
Start clean shaven

You can watch my progress, and sponsor me [url= http://uk.movember.com/mospace/1538654/ ]here[/url]

Apparently I need to register on Movember, as one of my colleagues is away next month and handed me a tenner this morning on the understanding that I would have another go at slug balancing this year ......

I can't grow a 'stache. Instead, to raise awareness of male health problems I'll be cutting holes in all my trouser crotches and my testes will be blowing in the breeze.

I got no "naked time" for a month last time round as the tash reminded her of her dad and and as kinky as she is I think that one is off limits. I will not be partaking this year as a result.

The itching, mockery, pointing laughing etc are all part of the fun.

My wife is 32 weeks pregnant and we have a 3 year old daughter who likes to get up at 0600, I'm getting no "naked time" anyway so I may as well raise some cash.

Sadly it's being encouraged / promoted by my employer (large far from cool corporate firm) hence any fun has been quickly destroyed...

They even sent everyone (including the ladies!) a fold-up flyer (with the history & 'rules' of Movember) & a razor for afterwards yesterday....

I'm looking forward to the Movember Crushing that one of my colleagues gets every year... He's started growing his last week, to get ahead. Over the next 2 weeks he'll be constantly stroking his bumfluff and trying to convince he's nailed it this year. Then on about the 20th someone will say "Oh, are you starting to grow a moustache? Weird timing, why didn't you do it for Movember?"

For me doing an action for charity has to be about a challenge: Run a marathon, cycle several hunderd miles, tell a woman she's wrong etc etc.... growing hair on your top lip is not a challenge and happens naturally. 🙂

Nope not aloud to do it this year as certain wrights would be revoked. Also got grief last year at work about not getting a proper seal on BA sets. I am waiting to see if anything happens in Fanuaury.

so beards are out?

I have a movember flyer from Bradford & Airedale Cancer Support in front of me saying "... a little facial hair for your local charity. Moustaches, side burns, beards - your choice"

my goatee is coming along nicely. far too much white in it though, although I suppose it matches what's up top

I've gone for a discreet, just over the top lip effort this year, after last years Village People bonanza. Sadly, facial hair is not a strong point even at 44 years of age, so people are only just noticing. And it just doesn't grow on my cheeks, as I'd love to be able to grow the bigG look up there^^^

Going again this year but simpler than last year that said digging BigG's look I reckon by Monday I can convert to that.

No pic I'm afraid as lazy ebayer hasn't sent my new charger for my Mac.

Crikey ... growing facial hairs does not mean growing nose hairs. Imagine something is sticking to the nose hairs eewww ...

Those nose hairs need to be pulled out one by one. 😆

Yeah seems to come with being 40 and I agree so usually removed them with tweezers or quickly run a match underneath.
