Movember +30days - au revoir MOnsieur

And so another Movember draws to a close...

Here's me rocking my Gallic look that won Mr/MOnsieur Movember at The Rock Inn "Judge My Shrub" competition (note medal ribbon and sash hidden below my onions). It's been worthwhile!

Thank you to ALL my generous sponsors. Couldn't have done it without you. £635 raised. Give yourselves a pat on the back (or a stroke of the 'tache).

[You know what? I think I might keep it!]

Movember +24days - a little up-didilly-up-up

In honour of those wonderfully moustachioed Naples statues.

[And no, I haven't dyed it blue, just a little Photoshop.]

Pizza Face

Just back from a weekend in Napoli giving my Mo some international exposure. Those good burghers of the city from yester-year certainly knew how to rock some 'monificent' Mos. After all, how esle could they catch those pizza crumbs?

Movember +16days - no pointy uppy

M+16 days - status report:
(No, no, no, nothing to do with firearms or the former name of the M25 motorway!)

Well, the Mo is there alright although my attempt to go skywards at the ends is being thwarted by, well...lack of hair at my fuzzy fringes! Pah. You can't have everything - after all I do have the 'Chicken Whisperer Bobble Hat'!

Below are a couple of moustachioed snaps of my (continued) generous sponsors. More snaps and Lip Shrub Shenaningans at http://mobro.co/spratticus

Many thanks ONE and ALL!

MOssive thanks for your Movember support

My my. What a lot of very generous friends and rellies I have. I'm over the £500 mark for Movember and the Prostate Cancer Charity. Thanks one and all!!

Remember, just a £1 donation secures your entry into the 'Jam Tombola' where the lucky winner gets one of my hand crafted jams made with personally foraged/stolen fruits: Plum & Walnut with a hint of Grappa or Quince & Medlar Jelly (I was going to add in Creme de Menthe but thought better of it). What's not to love about that?

A Mo update and pic to follow shortly...but here are a couple of snaps from my biggest sponsors so far - The A Team!

Movember +7days

OK, so there's definitely something MOing on now!!

A rage of colour...

Hampstead Heath, London - Sat 5 Nov

Bit disappointed...you can't even see a semblance of my tash!

Fromage my friend, fromage!

Away from top lipped Tom Foolery for a moment. I've been on a cheese mission.

The most nuclear cheese on earth it would seem is - Epoisses de Bourgogne. It's in a wooden box, wrapped in cling film, in tupperware, inside a knotted plastic bag...and I can still smell it.

This cheese is banned from public transport in France and that says a lot...not renowned for their delicate nasal sensibilities, the French.

There's a distinct smell of death about it. I was cutting some earlier and I couldn't avoid handling it. Now my hand smells like it has gangrene.

And this was courtesy of La Cave a Fromage, Hove. If you were after a cheesy night out in Brighton (& Hove), this is where you should aim for.

Wonderful.

Movember + 3days

Other than Bill's attempted 'blackmail' to get me to grow a 'Hilter' (if blackmail can be described as refusing to sponsor me otherwise), there have been no Mo-Style suggestions. So, I have opted for a 'Rockstar'.

There's an option of an upgrade to 'Undercover Brother' if my follicles are fizzing or I could embarrassingly bolt for 'The Wisp' if not. Options options options.

Compare:

[Is it just me or is my chin growing?]

Read Steady Mo!

Farewell familiar facial fuzz. It's the 1st Movember...so I am shorn, shaven smooth and ready to cultivate a bit of top lip topiary for charity.

A massive thanks to all those that have sponsored me thus far...very very kind.

I'm still open for mo style suggestions, although the Hitler/Mugabe is off the polling card (this time round).
