.. which one of these lovely men has grown the most impressive mustache?

The lovely MNHQ fellas have been busy grooming their facial fuzz (or forests in some cases) for Movember

Please do donate a quid or five to a great cause and support the MNHQ men.

Check out their rather fetching progress below:

@madwomanintheattic

Number three isn't really taking part, is he?

Is he the control to help you gauge the progress of the actual participants

Aw, leave PatrickMumsnet alone! Blonde taches don't show up so well on photos

@madwomanintheattic

Oh, I assumed it was a deliberate pun on 'must' ask... You totally missed a trick, there, Helen. You could have got away with it.

No, it's still a pun; just a correctly spelled one, now Smile

@madwomanintheattic

See, but now, it's irritating the life out of me and making my teeth itch.

I had organized it in my head as a deliberate mis-spelling. And now, even though it's right, it looks wrong, because I'd legitimised the 'must' by virtue of the pun!

First time I've ever had my inner pedant melt down over a correct spelling though...

Sorry, Patrick. This isn't helping the growth vibes, is it?

Sorry madwomanintheattic, really don't want to make those teeth itch!

But to make the pun work, it either has to be "we moustache you" (allowing the pronounciation to do the work for you) or "we must-ache you" (using the hyphen to create the pun).

Our original "we mustache you" was wrong because it was a misspelling of moustache or an insufficiently clear play on must and ask.
