Me. Facial hair. Shudder.
As abhorrent a concept as Mitt Romney becoming President.
But in this topsy-turvy world, the next days may well see both.
Shudder number two.
It started as a joke, one that was greeted with mirth, dubious looks, and, in one case, a kind of appalled silence akin to the kind you get when a sudden death is announced.
But somehow the idea took a grip on my fevered mind.
Why shouldn’t I do it? Lots of other people do. Normal, sane men all over the world risk the ridicule of their fellow fellas and the revulsion of their partners by growing what Jeeves described, when Bertie Wooster sported one for a brief period, as “a dark stain like mulligatawny soup”.
Like Bertie, I’m hoping that my ‘tache will lend me a Niven-esque diablerie.
I think we all recognise the tenuous grip that this particular hope has on reality.
It’s all in a good cause, of course.
Men’s stuff.
Cancery things…you know…down there.

I’m aiming to reach £1000. If I do, I’ll top it up with £100 of my own.
Now there’s incentive for you.
Yes! The only way this could ever happen is that it is raising money for some extremely good causes. A month of horror ensues.
Ah, you’re doing this as part of Movember. A colleague at work did it last year and STILL HAS HIS TACHE. So some people grow to like it see.
