Bye bye Movember

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]

Four days of Movember to go (and a bit of Monty Python)

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,  ... [More]

Movember: any Modern Warfare/Call Of Duty fans want a limited edition USB drive?

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  ... [More]

Movember day 11 update, and a hard-to-get photo

If you won’t donate for me growing a moustache, how about for getting this picture? Train, tram and bus in one pic. 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  ... [More]

Movember day 4 – finally something to see

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

Movember day 2 – the mere hint of a mo’

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

Movember day 1 (nothing to see here… yet)

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  ... [More]

What will I look like with a moustache? (8 days to Movember)

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…

This year, I’m doing Movember

I’ve not been organised early enough previously to do Movember, but this year, I’ve signed-up. For those unaware, Movember is an annual event when blokes grow moustaches to raise money for charities, chiefly associated with men’s health and mental health. One starts off cleanshaven on November the 1st, then starts growing the moustache, for sponsorship.  ... [More]
