I confess I am a stay at home mum that watches daytime tv. That aside some programme I forget which, reported on 1st Nov that this month blokes are being asked to grow facial fuzz in support of men's charities.

I've been with DH 19 years and quite fancy seeing would he would look like with a beard.

Anyone know how he can get involved?

Its called Member, and its to raise awareness of testicular cancer. DH grew a rather fetching handlbar last year.

My friend's dp is partaking and was calling it something like 'Movember'

Yep! Movember! I have been getting a head start since October.

Aggh. Movember of course. Stupid autocorrect....

I am continuing to grow a moustache through November, yes.

It's been over twenty years now, so I doubt anyone will notice.

Movemeber is awesome, shaved my beard off last night to start a tash, Mrs loves the beard but hated the tash, but she is 39.5 week and due to pop anytime now, so she's a litte proccupied

Hope all goes well with the labour. Are you sure shaving the beard wasn't a safety precaution? grin Some of us grab things in labour. I clung on to the radiator during my last blush

Thanks all for telling me Movember. I'll try to drum up some interest from DH.

Movember's very well supported in my workplace, there's always a fair bit of competition for the best "pornstar" moustache grin

I'm a transvestite so I've always avoided a moustache. I just don't think I could pick the right outfit to make it work. Kenny Everett could carry it off well though.

There seems to be an increasing number of people doing this. I'd never heard of it, now 8 people I work with are doing it. See
