FireKnife Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Good morning all, sorry this is a tad late but this year I am growing my man fuzz for the usual Movember charities. I shall be providing up to date pictures each week with a chance to see if I can't get the full Tom Selleck (though I will end up looking more Freddie Mercury). So come one, come all, visit my work teams page and see just how stupid I can make myself look in the name of helping men that are worse of than me. http://uk.movember.com/team/1693373 Thanks for looking guys and gals. Everything is welcome from a penny to a pound and beyond!!!! 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm already fully bearded and aiming for something like Opie from Sons of Anarchy, so I won't be shaving and starting from scratch this year. I will be waxing the 'stache and making the usual donations though. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Wait out for my efforts. Have to wait 'til after this weekend - wouldn't want my horrible upper lip fuzz to make me look unkempt for the local veterans.Then it's a full go until 12 Dec.EDIT: 'Cos i'm a top bloke, I pay top dolla so you look like a top twat. Donated. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Dang, thanks for the cash man. Now the rest of you skinflints pay up . Do you not want to see me looking like the leftovers of a Queen tribute? 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I won't be shaving and starting over with my moustache now that I have finally got a decent start going. Checking local donation sites, tho. Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore1-6 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Well, donate to this guy:mobro.co/mikeaskeyBig clue, it's me. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Begins on the 10th? What a late start . Mine is coming along, will get pics up at the weekend when it is a bit fuller. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 You should have done a pic a day so you can make a time lapse GIF. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I was going to but, actually yeah I should have done that. Though at the moment it is in that transition between long stubble and hair. By the weekend it should be something to flaunt. Now what style to go for, knowing me it will be the Magnum P.I. but perhaps I could go for a Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart look? I doubt it will grow into proper wealthy oil tycoon or classic imperialist lengths. And no on the pencil thin, don't want to look like a young John Waters, ugh.

Hardcore1-6 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'll get the time lapse on the go.10th because Mr Adjutant has agreed with Mr Regimental Sergeant Major not to have people looking scruffy on the Rememberance parade. Which is a fair point. Link to post Share on other sites
sandstorm Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'll get the time lapse on the go. 10th because Mr Adjutant has agreed with Mr Regimental Sergeant Major not to have people looking scruffy on the Rememberance parade. Which is a fair point. More than fair, although had you been allowed to start early, you could have been sporting period-accurate mousatches for the parade for whole unit...:{D Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Also ties in with my Christmas leave so i'll have 8 weeks to grow a hefty h'officer 'tasche for the New Year. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 An acceptable excuse but then as said could have started early. Still looking at styles and get a pic up now. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

jammie654 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I done it last year but decided against it this year as i have spent the last few months growing a beaut of a beard LOL Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 But the objective is to raise both awareness and fund for men's health problems..Is your beard really worth denying funds to research charities? Link to post Share on other sites
jammie654 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Denying funds? Ive donated myself personally this year and have donated to a couple of friends. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 It was a thin joke - i'm not saying you're anti-charity! Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 You should have done a pic a day so you can make a time lapse GIF.I did that last year when I grew a "monkey tail" moustache. Still haven't put the images in to a gif yet though, may get on that... I still have my moustache from last year. I wanted to see how long I could grow it in one year (12.2cm was the longest hair) and ended up with a massive curly French moustache that always gets good attention. This year for Movember I was going to do a 'reverse Movember' wherein I shaved my beard off but kept the year-old moustache and cut it off at the end. This is a whole new level of looking ridiculous though, I always catch myself in the mirror (you forget about it) and just shake my head. Not asking for money because I don't think I'll last the entire month... Still in two minds whether to chop the whole moustache off (I really do look like a dodgy porn star, or a wannabe WWII fighter pilot) Once I'm back on a PC I'll have a look at your profiles and donate to make up for my chickening out!

Hardcore1-6 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Daily photos are coming on..

Huge briming 'tasche, umbrella and spaniel and I shall be a true officer. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore1-6 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Can't edit above post.My CO has given it the stamp of approval - patted me on the shoulder and said 'Excellent 'tasche Mike' Sergeant Majors can't touch me now.But y'all can touch my mo page - donate in the signature block.
