I've got through Movember. I shaved the mo' off. Ultimately, it was always going to go after the month was up. By week three I thought I'd got used to it, but in the final week, the itching seemed to get worse. Maybe I was conscious that it was about to come off. It's certainly more hassle having a moustache than not. If you're clean shaven, you just shave everything each morning; wit
Four days to go, and here's this morning's picture (in the rain). The whole moustache business reminds me of this Monty Python sketch... skip to 30 seconds in for the relevant line. At this point I'm looking forward to the end of Movember. From a maintenance point of view, it's easier to just be clean-shaven, and I thought I'd got used to the itching, but it still bugs me from time t
Are these Modern Warfare: Call of Duty 3 "Captain Price" USB drives, sent out as part of Movember, really "limited edition", or are there eleventy-billion of them out there? Although I'd normally subscribe to the view that one can always use another USB drive, I'm wondering... would any of you MWCOD fans pledge a donation to Movember to buy it?

Despite a train theoretically every minute or two between Flinders Street and Southern Cross, three tram routes (excluding the City Circle) and numerous bus routes passing this intersection, it took a surprising amount of time to get a photo of all three modes together. I w
Now there's some serious stubble emerging. I really have no idea which style of mo' I should be going for, nor really any idea about how I achieve this. (Trimming them is not something I have any experience of.) Donate here
Not much to report yet; the mere hint of a thought of a consideration of a moustache. In fact, it's barely even stubble. Donate here
As I've mentioned, this month I'm growing a moustache for charity. I'll try and post a picture each morning. Here's the first: day one of Movember. It should probably really be day zero, because under the rules we start clean-shaven. Being Cup Day, I took the time to do the blade shaver thing this morning to do it properly... it does give a closer shave, though I'm not convinced it looks
Eight days until Movember. So, what will I look like with a moustache next month? Well, thanks to this handy dandy kit that Marita provided, perhaps we have an indication. I tried each of them out... here are the results... (more…)
