Movember

Any other Accy members taking part in the Movember initiative? It is to raise awareness of men´s health, particularly the importance of spotting the signs of testicular and prostate cancer. The idea is to grow a moustache during November and seek sponsorship for doing it.

My pals and I are taking part, and there are a lot of strange growths sprouting on the upper lips of some of the regulars who have been clean shaven all their lives. We are rapidly reaching a stage where we can hold auditions for Village People!

But it´s for a worthwhile cause!

My brother in law in Oz does this every year(well, he has for the past three years) I sponsor him and get regular updates of his face fungus.

I remember in the early 80's almost everyone had a tash. My dad used to have on. I think a tas makes a bloke look older than he actually is.

Reece wanted to grow one for Movember, he's 15, been shaving since he was 12 (with an electric razor) i said maybe next year, he's still got a baby face yet....he is well up on the cancer thing and wanted to do it for the charities

You should let him try Flashy - my son still has a baby face at 24! To look the part for travelling in India (he's in Goa at the moment) he grew a full beard for the first time, makes him look like a man at last -not my little boy any more...
