Please come and support the MNHQ Men in their hairy Movember challenge. Can you tell who's who? (pics and EVERYTHING!)

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Hello.

The menfolk at MNHQ are going all hairy to support Movember and raise money for research into prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

And we hoped you might want to join in by following their increasingly hirsute progress, lobbing them hair-follicle-stimulating virtual biscuits and maybe even donating a quid or two.

Today's the day it all sprouts starts, so we're going to post up the names of all the contenders and then post up pics of their clean-shaven chops - but not necessarily in the same order.

And then invite you to match the pic to the name, just for a bit of a larf.

OK, so the names are:

DarrenMumsnet - the one who sorts stuff out and shaved his whole beard off to take part

ShamTech - the creator of PMs, gawd luv him

Tech - the original Tech, who built MN from nuffink

GeorgeTech - the latest Tech in the Towers

PeterNotaTech - he's actually an architect but he shares an office with us

PatrickMumsnet - runs Mumsnet Academy and has Leonardo DiCaprio tendencies

Can you match the chin shot to the MNHQ Man?

Do have a go - and we'll let you know if you're right.

@absy!

I'm really sorry to hear your news, GhoulishGordon

I luuuurve

November

I adored facial hair. I hope we get regular updates on hair growth

I have no idea which is which but good luck all

Movember

Arsing bloody idiotic stupid phone

@Absy

i'm amazed that Dazza still works at MNHQ - I would have thought he'd run from the building screaming after Hully's advances. It's what any sane person would do

He tried, Absy. He tried.

Yes, regular updates for sure.

Staying VERY quiet on the Fanuary question I see, Helen?
Hmmmmm?

Sorry, what? Can't seem to read that post....

pinot excellent post and very close to my heart as my DH is one of the prostate cancer club no one wants to join . Advanced and not curable. The only sign was erectile dysfunction . This warning sign is not one flagged up a lot as it is usually urinary problems people associate with prostate cancer symptoms .

Be tested gentlemen at age 50 for PSA levels . This is a very curable cancer if caught early.

Absy, Daz LIED. He said he'd left Mn and he was in the loo all along. I am scarred. I can't help but hope his moustache grows all wonky like Dennis Healy's eyebrows.

Darren is the only person who has a "Hide Poster" button. Troofact.

Darren is in a Witness Protection Programme and has a utility belt with a Hide Poster button, just for Hully.
And he dug a moat outside his flat, for extra security. With spikes in.

Oh good show chaps.

Since the boys of the tech club are doing Movember, how about developing some seasonal Guido tach emoticons?

I know they won't make it in this year, but hey, forward planning?

Well done lads hope to see some weird and wonderful taches - would love to see a Hercule Poirot and a General Melchett inspired tache!

Won't be long til I'll be able to join the Movember line up at this rate - even my beloved beauty spot witches mole has started to threaten a hair and the less said about my side burns/tache the better (shame I wasn't born male as with all this hair I'm sure I would have been a right handsome Tom Sellecky lothario!)

Good luck lads!

Usually people run marathons and the like to raise money for charity. You know, put a bit of effort in. But these chaps are looking to be sponsored for putting in less than they normally do. Just sitting back and letting the hair grow. I have been doing the same with my legs for several months now, but it really never occurred to me to look for sponsorship. Hats off to you, Sirs!

dp would never have a prostate check because he thought it was a finger up the bum and just couldn't face it

thank you pinot for sharing with me that its a blood test now

thank you

Number 5 looks like a girl

Yes, Pinot. Thanks for the info on blood test - I didn't know that either.

Had a chat with dh about this but he is not willing to grow a moustache. Especially after I said he'd probably look like a cross between Freddie Mercury and George Clooney.

We will donate to the MN fund though.

Sue, fanuary is a stroke of genius.

Bassett so sorry about your DH

YY Mme & Trin - and anyone else with a DH/DF/DBro over 50. Just a blood test. PLEASE get one done.

In some countries the age for PSA blood tests is from 40, so if you have any symptoms (urinary issues/erectile issues/sleep issues) PLEASE get the test.

If you're under 50, you can get the test done privately for less than £70.

I have spoken. So shall it be.

(If I'm wrong you'll have to switch them about as outlined above, you know.)

Pinot
Think I might do a blog about this - can I PM you?

may I PM you, Pinot. I'm sure I can

(Spend most of the day saying that to the dc)

Course you can may, lovely Mme :)

I am on the red wine already though. Be prepared for love songs and inappropriate nuances.
