Movember [Starts Today - Please Donate]

[Benjamin]

Hey guys just to let you know I'll be partaking in Movember tomorrow, I don't know if any more of you will or if any of you have heard of this, so there is a brief description below. If you are interested in sponsoring me (it is for a good cause but I expect many of you won't) then visit my profile http://uk.movember.com/mospace/. :hugesmile:



On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.

Also for those that were whining about my hair being too long (Glenn), happy now?

Stop being so bloody handsome Benjamin. Stick a bag over your head. :D

How much do people generally sponsor you for?

[Benjamin]

How much anyone wants to sponsor is up to them. Anything is fine, I understand not everyone will want to donate, that is also fine.

And, ha, I'm not that handsome. :tongue:

..never a truer word spoken..on..this..forum

[Shaun]

i'd do movember but honestly i grow about as much facial hair in a month as Honey Boo Boo does

[Niall]

I could do Movemeber if I wanted to but I'd just look weird.

[Marc]

You're such a poser :bored:

[Marc]

I can't do Movember.. I'm depressed now.

[Josiah.]

Ben, you look cool. It is basically a mixture of yourself and the Logans (Greg & David) from BBAU2005

A moustache. It shows support to men's health awareness such as testicular cancer. It runs ever year throughout November across the world. :hugesmile:

.....:lovedup::lovedup::lovedup:...hey gorgeous..how you doing...:wink:....

..I'm loving the black and white photos as well...I always change my photos to black and white...I don't know, I'm just not a colour person....you look pretty cool Ben...do you want to see my moustache..?..it's not as good as yours though..maybe I'll get used to it.....

[Benjamin]

I'm sure your moustache looks amazing. :love:

[Ammi]

...yeah...it does actually, I've been working really hard on it....

..it's a shame about the rest of the group...but they're not going to look as fabulous as you...I hope you raised lots of money...maybe they didn't get the point, that it was for a good cause...I'm glad you did though...well done young man..:love:

[Benjamin]

Yeah, I'm disappointed in my group, but I know I did something and raised some money for a good cause so I'm proud of myself for doing it.

[Glenn.]

My dad and his workmates all did it and I think they raised about £1000 :amazed:

[Benjamin]

Nice going from them, bloody good effort!

Thank you again to those of you that did donate, means a lot. Reminds me why I love this forum, some good people on here.

I like Rihanna's effort for Movember, she did well.

[Glenn.]

If I was on my laptop I would photoshop a tash on her smug arse face.
