A MoBro Blog

I can’t bring myself to do it. I have drank with it, I have conditioned it, I have loved with it, I have nurtured it, I have combed it, I have kissed with it, I have even seen my sisters new born son with it. I can’t bring myself to do it. You wouldn’t get rid of a puppy after thirty days now would you? If you would you are cruel, cruel person and you shouldn’t have made that commitment in the first place. I have made that commitment – to Movember and Men’s Health, I even took the oath!! I’ve been through the itchyness, the whispyness and the pathchyness of Movember and now I have a moustache that vaguely looks like a moustache I don’t want to get rid of it. It’s been a fantastic month, on a personal level, a team level and a general Movember level. I have personally raised £176. It would have been fantastic to have raised a little more and I’m sure there is a spare £24 out there somewhere to get me to a nice round £200?? Any offers? Donate here.

The Seatbelts have completely smashed our expected total of £500 – we have currently raised, £1238 which is amazing! Talk is for next year for all of us to enter the platinum club! So, to Movember, where do you start? The UK has currently raised £14million and globally we (the great worldwide mo growing community) have raised £63 million. That’s in four weeks (although I think donations can still be given right up until mid to late December) which is a massive, massive achievement. You have to think about all of the good that is going to do, how many hours of research that can pay for, how many lives that is going to save. It’s been a huge amount of fun and I’m sure that none of us have lost sight on the real reasons for becoming a citizen of Movember. I’m aware that I am currently flouting the rules but I need an extra day to gather my thoughts and say goodbye properly. I hope, loyal readers, you understand. @MoBroJames

What a whirlwind that the past few days have been. Dreams of grandeur and meetings with Danny Wallace (DW Update: No advances have been made by Danny or his people; I’m sure it’s just a matter of time though. He’s probably intimidated by my Moustache) to being kitted out in 75% Lycra to attend the London Gala Party.

As you’ll know from previous postings in this blog I’m the proud captain of “The Seatbelts”. A ramshackle bunch of Mo Bro’s and Mo Sista’s who set themselves a target of £500 to hit during Movember 2011. We have had a huge amount of donations from friends and family (Many thanks, Big up your chest, etc) but due to the success of the “MoVent of the year” we smashed our target and are now on course to raise nearer £1000. Crazy.

This year’s theme for us was American Footballers and Cheerleaders – all very DIY for the costumes. Bought the t-shirts, created our very own “MO FL” logo, girls leggings (its fancy dress so technically not cross dressing…) and some football socks. All in all we spent a little over a tenner per costume and they looked ace. There were some awesome outfits on show – Team Movember looked amazing in their baseball outfits, Hulk Hogan made an appearance and I even spotted Sarah Beeny on stage giving out awards to the best dressed in a Movember tracksuit?!  

There are now over 250,000 Mo Bro’s and Mo Sista’s registered in the UK on www.movember.com this year and between us we have raised over eleven million pounds. That’s GBP, not monopoly money. The monetary amount is obviously fantastic but for me it’s the awareness that Movember has generated for Prostate Cancer and Men’s Health that has really grabbed me this year. Just think, if you have told three people that you are doing Movember, what made you do it and some facts about prevention, over one million people in the UK will now know about it. If caught early, prostate and testicular cancer can be beaten without spreading to other areas of the body. 

On Friday night at the London Gala there was a really, really inspirational speech from a guy called Ben Bowers. Ben looks like a normal bloke; he’s just over six foot in height, slim, good sense of humour and happily married. He also has absolutely no testicles at all. None. Zilch. Nada. Ben told a room of six thousand Mo Bro’s and Mo Sista’s about the time he found a lump on one of his balls, 4 days later it was removed. Then, a year later and shortly after conceiving his first child he found another lump on his remaining testicle. That’s odds of something crazy like a million to one that someone can contract two cases of testicular cancer. Again, an operation removed the cancerous testicle. 

Early prevention and raised awareness made Ben realise that the lump shouldn’t be there, gave him confidence to speak out and get treatment immediately which saved his life. Sure, he doesn’t have any testicles any more but he does have a wife, daughter and more balls than most people I know to be able to get up on stage in front of that many people and share his story. 

This is the reason we are doing this. 

I caught up with Ben after his speech and he told me that although he doesn’t have any balls, being a keen cyclist it does have its advantages. Also, he said: “You know when you are at the beach, you go for a dip in the sea and there’s that moment where you reach the point of no return, to continue into the water so it reaches waist height? For me, no problem, I just stroll right in”. What a hero. Maybe follow him on twitter? @BenBowers. 

There are two days left of Movember and we have already raised eleven million pounds in the UK and are currently second place in the global league table. It is a hotly contested affair with our fellow Mo Bro’s and Mo Sista’s down under in Australia with the league positions changing hourly. Let’s push on, raise some more money, cement that place and continue to raise money and awareness about men’s health.

I salute you all.

The Mo is able to help you brave most things that life can throw at you; ice breaker on a first date, showing your charitable side when closing a sales deal, keeping your top lip warm against the bitter winter breeze but it is more of a hindrance when the beginning stages of man flu kick in.

Fellow Mo Bro’s do not fear, it is not possible to catch one of the most powerful strains of flu via your computer screen/mobile phone. I can already hear the Mo Sista’s laughing, telling me to man up and get on with it and whilst Movember is a collaborative effort with both Mo Bro’s and Sista’s working in perfect harmony to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer and men’s health, the effects from this particular strain is going to split us right down the middle.

My nose won’t stop running.

I have a 24 day old moustache.

Gents will sympathize with me, Ladies will be disgusted by me but there’s not much I can do! I currently look like an extra from Blackadder and I can assure you that the two pencils up my nose and a pair of underpants on my head are not making me look mad or get better - any suggestions for the next cunning plan to take down this beast? Honey and lemon? Hot toddies? Lottery win?

Taking the tube into central London during rush hour this morning wasn’t much fun however, I managed to not sneeze on anyone and gave up my seat to an elderly gent – that’s me being resilient and a nice guy…if only there were some Mo Sista’s on my carriage to see this and comment on my fighting spirit I would have felt 1000% better.

Sorry for the lack of blog activity yesterday, I was at the Leveson inquiry giving evidence. Apparently someone got wind of my chance meeting with Danny Wallace and wanted to listen to my voicemails encase we were planning a follow up to Awkward Situations for Men - Awkward Situations for Men with Moustaches, it’s got Booker Prize winner written all over it! Unfortunately the was no such message from DW, although if he’s reading this and does fancy collaborating or having that 10am pint I’m more than happy to assist. All that they would have found in the event of a hacking was a few messages from my Nan telling me that she’s been practicing her lines and she reckons that she is a shoe in for the Royle Family Christmas Special. I said I’ll get Caroline Aherne to give her a call.

Last night was the night for the Mo Sista’s in the team (The Seatbelts) to take centre stage and put on their Movember Fundraiser. I’m pleased to be able to announce that we raise a whopping £285! Who knew that a quiz, raffle and cakes could be so popular?! 

Without sounding like the album sleeve of a band: Big thanks to everyone that turned up on the night and supported us, The Bedford (http://www.thebedford.co.uk/) for the venue, Ashley Boddy and Rich Webber from Aardman Animations  (http://www.aardman.com/) for their Shaun of the Sheep Sketch and Purple and Brown characters, Hywel from Movember for the raffle prizes, Danni and Lindsey for the cake baking, Jodie and Penny for the answer counting, ticket selling, coordination, Patricia for being my glamorous assistant and Carly (http://www.youtube.com/user/carlykling) for performing. 

Tomorrow’s blog will be all about The Gala Parties, costume talk and all. Can’t wait!

@MoBroJames

This morning I saw Danny Wallace. I recognized him from afar. It was definitely him. I continued walking my planned route to work and I walked right past him. I didn’t say anything though, it would have been weird and to be honest I didn’t really know what to say? Maybe if I had plucked up the courage to talk to him the conversation could have gone a little something like this.

Me: Hi, are you Danny Wallace.

DW: Yes.

Me: Cool. Congratulations on being wittier than most.

DW: Thanks.

Me: I read your column in shortlist and follow you on twitter.

DW: You obviously know me really well then.

Me: I’d say so. I also listen to you on XFM.

DW: Brilliant, you don’t sound like a stalker at all. I think we could be friends.

Me: I’ve often thought that too. 

DW: Shall we go for a pint.

Me: That would be mental, its 10am.

DW: You’re right. Nice meeting you then.

Me: Yes you too. Maybe I’ll DM you on twitter and re-arrange.

DW: That would be great.

Me: Bye then *Bromance*.

DW: Bye then *Bromance*.

To be honest, I think that would have been the ideal scenario in a real life conversation with Danny Wallace. What would have I said if I did approach him though? It’s a Monday morning, I was shattered (still am) and if he’s honest with himself I think he’ll agree that he wasn’t looking in red carpet condition either. It would have just been awkward. Or not. I’ll never know. 

Unless…perhaps he’ll read this, get in touch, interview me for his show on XFM about my Movember blog and kick off my career as a DJ all in one go. It may go so well that he will offer me the role of tea boy and I can work my way up the greasy pole of menial jobs until I get awarded the “graveyard shift” which I’ll turn into my own, generate an army of listeners and work up the rankings into a prime drive time host. I’ll be the modern day Dr Fox and I’ll love every minute of it. 

That or I’ll wake up late, miss my slot with XFM and end up having to badger those at Capital FM for an opportunity only to be told that a Kangaroo testicle fresh from the jungle in “I’m a celebrity” has more relevance to Movember than I ever will and its already bagged itself an agent and a photo shoot with The Saturdays.

It’s a double edged sword isn’t it? Showbiz.

In other news my team and I, the Seatbelts are hosting a fundraising event this Wednesday (23^rd) at The Bedford in Balham (http://www.thebedford.co.uk/), it’s a £5 donation to Movember as entry but that will get you in to the night, entry to the quiz/raffle and there’s going to be some live music too. Everyone is more than welcome.

Have a good week, apologies for the lack of blogs recently, the complaint levels from my three readers has become almost deafening. I’ve had a word with my mum and dad and they have promised to calm it down a little. My Nan however is kicking off refusing to be quiet until I get her a part in the Royle Family. I’ve tried telling her that I’m not Ralf Little but she’s having none of it.

Until the next time.

@MoBroJames

Does my facial hair make me look older? More responsible? Clearly. 

If it didn’t there would be no rational explanation why a mother decided to use me a figurehead to stop her child from mis-behaving. This morning I became The Man. 

“If you don’t stop doing that the man will tell you off”. What a responsibility! Reprimanding someone else’s child on the way to work! I can’t say this has happened before and if I’m honest I wouldn’t have told the child off anyway - a young lad blowing raspberries at grumpy commuters was, apart from the cheeky bacon sarny grabbed on the way in to work due to a little over indulgence at the Used Magazine launch party, the highlight of my day. Thanks again to Luke at The Shop (http://www.theshopnw10.com /@THESHOPNW10) for the invite. #Ting.

I was obviously disappointed to be labeled “the man” – I lived in fear of this mystical creature in my early years – he always seemed to be called upon when the fun needed to be stopped and I don’t feel that I am ready to be a party pooper any time soon. 

I didn’t say anything to the young lad, I mean, how could I? The mother seemed nice enough, perhaps she’d had enough of is boisterousness and had to use the remaining card up her sleeve in order to gain some quiet for herself and fellow commuters but there’s no way I could really say anything. Fortunately I didn’t need to – the thinly veiled threat of a slightly worse for wear man with a moustache did the trick.

Shit. 

I must have looked terrifying.  

If the person who was blowing raspberries to commuters this morning (11/11/11) in the Charring Cross area of London, England ever happens to read this blog posting I can only but apologise for my appearance and I meant you no harm. 

Phew.

In other news, I have since met the first Movember bench mark of £25 and will now proceed to eat my bodyweight in FREE Byron Burgers between today and the 20^th Movember. If you’ve raised £25 then make sure you download your voucher from www.movember.com. If you aren’t based in London I’d suggest you get yourselves on the next available mode of transport and fill your boots! 

I’ve also paid two visits to Penhaligons this week for complimentary wet shaves (http://www.penhaligons.com) – I can’t speak highly enough of the service in the Covent Garden branch. If you are planning on a trip to London for your burger why not have a shave too?! Make a day of it, go on, treat yourself!

I’ll be down at the Mo Running even tomorrow in Greenwhich Park cheering people on who have been skipping the burgers in recent times and ideally on a big white horse. Let’s see what happens.

Finally, a big “shout out” to Ashley Boddy and his army of the Mo Bros at Aardman Animations down in Bristol who created and auctioned Morph WITH A MOUSTACHE with all proceeds donated to Movember UK. Morph eventually sold for £370 so congratulations to Ashley and all involved. If you have any other interesting tales of fundraising give me a shout on twitter @MoBroJames or email me MoBroJames@gmail.com. 

As always, thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

It’s happened. My first of 2011. Have you had yours yet? I’m sure you will know if you have. If you haven’t then you’ve got something to “look” forward to (ha, a joke in the opening line, what a treat). What’s “the look” I hear you utter to your computer monitors/smartphones/tablet devices? It is the moment where you make eye contact with a man, not long enough to be considered a stare and certainly not casual enough to be a glance. It’s the “look”.

It’s where you think you have found one of your own. Or have you? Its 9 days in, you are in the same room with a bloke with average looking facial hair. Is this gent a fellow Mo Bro? Will you be able to share stories of epic fundraising, Mo Space tips or even comment on each other’s MOgress or will you be given the cold shoulder (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGwH-x4VoH8). 

That “look” happened to me last night, it was made slightly more challenging and awkward to distinguish whether I was in the company of a fellow Mo Bro by the fact that we were standing side by side at a set of urinals in a pub in east London, the home of the “Hoxton wisp”. People in EC1 genuinely craft their upper lips to look like a 9 day old Movember effort.

Once we had both made the look we had to deal with the golden unwritten rule that one should never engage in conversation at urinals whilst the boys are out of the barracks – it’s just not done. 

Fortunately I was wearing my Movember wrist band, which was noted when washing my hands and we shared a glorious few minutes of banter about our lack of facial fuzz before shaking hands and sauntering off into the distance, happy as Larry, whoever he may be. 

Another place to get instant happiness is Kerbisher&Malt (http://kerbisher.co.uk/) (164 Shepherds Bush Road, London W6 7PB), recently voted “best contemporary fish and chip shop” by Esquire Magazine and another of this year’s “Mo Hubs”. I stopped by there for a chat with Saul Reuben who said that this year they have created a special dish for Movember – MO’s frittes (Moules-frites encase you missed that) with a percentage of every one sold going to Movember and in addition to that they will also be giving away FREE “MO-shy pea’s” with every main portion of fish and chips. Awesome.

He said that the decision to use mussels was because, aside from the cat fish whiskers, the mussel is one of the few sea dwelling creatures that has facial hair, its “beard”. It is true; you learn something new every day! 

For those of you that are getting in touch/following me on twitter (thanks!) you may have seen that I have taken a decision to try and get either #RespectTheMo or #Movember trending worldwide in then not too distant future. One idea I am working with is that we all message Justin Bieber and asking for him to ReTweet #Movember and his 14,300,820 followers do the same upon his command resulting in the twittersphere crashing and us needing to call upon Flash Gordon to save the day. Sure it needs a little work but that’s what these winter nights are for.

More tomorrow. #RespectTheMo. #Movember @MoBroJames

This year the theme of Movember is “face grown and hand brushed” with a focus on sustainability. There is also a cook book out called “Cooking from the Land” which champions said sustainability and also experiments using road kill as an alternative to supermarkets. I can’t say I have a huge amount of knowledge about using road kill in my recipes (Rat ravioli anyone?!) but cooking from the land I am a huge fan of even if I’m not that great at it. My match box sided front garden in SW12 managed to produce six potatoes, one cherry tomato and eight spring onions, not really enough to keep me going for the whole year but I did make a cracking potato salad!!  

I got in touch and interviewed David Johnson one of the chefs from the book, who is also chef at the Albion http://www.the-albion.co.uk/ (10 Thornhill Road, Islington, London N1 1HW), another of this year’s “Mo Hubs”. David was an absolute star for the interview, giving me a great insight into life of a chef at The Albion and also cooking his dish – roasted quail with pumpkin and hazel nuts. It was fascinating watching him cook up a storm, learning a few great tips and techniques along the way. Being in a live kitchen was hotter than the sun although not an F-bomb in sight.

A percentage of the proceeds of each meal goes directly to Movember (a positive theme occurring here with the Mo Hubs) so I would definitely suggest going along. The Albion is a genuine favourite haunt of mine from my time living in N1, although fantastic when the fire place is roaring during winter, this place completely comes to life over the summer months when the huge back garden comes into its own. Not many better places to enjoy a nice cold one in that postcode when the sun is shining in my opinion.

Unfortunately I haven’t hit the golden £25 to enable myself to claim my free burger at Byron today which has prompted me to put together a social media campaign in order to raise the £15 needed to get me there. Look out for #MoByronForJames on twitter and if you feel that I need fattening up please donate to me here: http://mobro.co/JamesAdkin.  I’m hoping that now people can see the beginning stages of a Moustache on my top lip they will start digging deep. 

As for my MOgress: The first seven days have been particularly hard – I’m sure I used to be able to grow a beard in a week, why is it that the top lip hair doesn’t grow as fast? I’d love to be able to say that I’d started to feel itchiness below my nose but the truth there’s been very little going on. I spent Saturday drowning my sorrows due to my lack of MOgress and I can only imagine the sore head I encountered on Sunday morning can be attributed to my brain having a stern word with my top lip caterpillar and forcing him to get a wiggle on. I’m off for another trim up at Penhaligons so let’s hope they can give my Mo some much needed encouragement.

If you haven’t signed up yet, remember it is called Movember - you can still get involved at any point during the month however, the longer you leave it, the more your growing will suffer! 

More tomorrow.

I have had some fantastic responses to my request for your Mo Stories (why you decided to get involved in Movember). A couple of them are below, please keep them coming in via twitter @MoBroJames or email MoBroJames@gmail.com 

@AlphaJulietEcho is doing Movember this year because he wants to raise some funds and give back – he says “I wouldn’t be alive without the health care my Dad received when he had testicular cancer at the age of 24”.It just shows you that, when caught early, this form of cancer we are so keen to fight can be beaten. Alex is living proof of this. 

I’ve also heard from @SonnyJohns. He is a testicular cancer survivor who, in his own words says “I lost my right nut and left lung to cancer. YOU can really help the next Bro by giving a buck or two” – an inspirational Mo Bro if ever I’ve seen one, perfect words and the message is spot on, tell a few people and collect a buck (insert preferred currency here) from each and you will be well on your way to raising money and awareness for Prostate Cancer and Men’s Health. 

Both fantastic reasons to do Movember, make sure you both keep me update on your MOgress this month!

As for me, I have made very little MOgress during the first four days of Movember – both in funds raised and growth. It’s still early; I’m not getting too nervous and panicking just yet.

One place I’d be more than happy to head towards for a drink to calm my nerves would be The Botanist (7 Sloane Square, London, SW1W 8EE) another of this year’s “Mo Hubs”. They have put together a very well thought out cocktail for all Mo Bro’s and Sista’s to enjoy. 

I caught up with Paulo Brammer the head beverage buyer for the group who talked me through the process behind the “Handlebar Hero”: 

Paulo: “We chose melons as the base ingredients as they are known to help prevent cancer, hendrix gin, a little mint and lemon juice – it is finished off with pomegranate powder. The powder was created by drying up the pomegranate seeds, turned into a powder and is then applied to the surface of the drink in the shape of a handlebar”. \

The colouring of the pomegranate looked great but I really wanted to know why it was chosen?

Paulo: “The reason pomegranate was chosen for the handlebar decoration is because it is rich in zinc and zinc is known to be used in prostate cancer treatments. 

The combination here of melon and pomegranate actually means that by consuming a “Handlebar Hero” (and with 50p of each one sold going directly to Movember) there are multiple health benefits (I should probably add please drink responsibly here) so run along to 7 Sloane Square as soon as possible and begin drinking responsibly. 

It is also worth noting that this year is Paulo’s first doing Movember and he has decided to grow a handlebar – I say if you are going to do Movember, do it properly!  

I had a great time at Merc last night and I’ll be saving up my pocket money for one of the limited edition polo shirts for sure. 

Thanks again for reading, don’t be a stranger on twitter and if you really are worried about your moustache growth why not give this a try (http://www.picshag.com/forehead-moustache.html). 

Have an amazing weekend. See you at Byron Burgers on Wardour Street (http://www.byronhamburgers.com/locations/wardour_street/) on Monday. 

@MoBroJames

You can’t choose them but you have to love them. I caught up with my old man last night for a pint (Spitfire, naturally) and in addition to congratulating/sponsoring me once again for doing Movember (it was his Dad, my Granddad who passed away in 2006) he mentioned that by the looks of things I had put on weight. Now, before you start, I am not using this blog to throw my toys out of the pram, merely posing a question to you – what are the chances that a Mo will have slimming capabilities and if it doesn’t make you slimmer, what other powers does it posses? 

I’ve been reading in the press recently that over in America that there are questions being asked whether men with moustaches deserve a tax break which got me thinking of other secret powers that the Movember Mo may have? 

•   A month long disguise which gives you the power to be the superhero that you have always wanted to be: You could fight crime like Batman? Shoot webs like Spiderman? Or tackle climate change like Captain Planet?! SUPER MO – tackles hoodies, climbs walls and always turns the plugs off when leaving his house. RARRRRRR!

• Extreme intelligence: Think of some of the greatest geniuses of all time. Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, William Shakespeare – what have they all got in common? Moustaches. Perhaps the Mo has already been giving out its super powers for years and Movember in fact started centuries ago and not in Melbourne in 2003? 

• An ice-breaker when meeting a Mo Sista (or Mo Bro, whatever tickles your ‘tache): “Have you ever kissed a man with a moustache”? Not necessarily a secret power but it does put the Moustache in contention with the dog as “a man’s best friend”. I can’t see Rover being that much of an effective wingman in the Kings Arms on a Friday night can you? 

And so from the Kings Arms to the Old Queens Head, the second featured “Mo Hub”. 

The Old Queens Head (44 Essex Road, Islington, London N1 8LN) are making a special edition “MOjito” this year with a percentage of every one sold going directly to Movember. Also, they will be doing a special pub quiz and giving away prizes for the best Mo’s in attendance. By turning up, consuming a “MOjito” (optional) and answering a few questions you could come away with the title of the best moustache in East London. I fully expect this category to be hotly contested and with inundated with “Hoxton Handlebars” and “Dalston Wisp’s”- let’s hope the judges can correctly differentiate between those grown especially for Movember and those grown due to their post code. I jest. 

The Seatbelts (my team) has now swelled to a glorious seven members. If you want to join us in our quest to raise funds and awareness for men’s health it really isn’t too late, details here. All waifs and strays welcome.

Oh and if you haven’t already, why not check out a Movember themed podcast - MOFM. 

I’ll be heading along to Merc (10 Carnaby Street, London, W1F 9PF) to try and blag myself an official Movember polo shirt, take advantage of a free wet shave and cut shapes on the dance floor that will give your childrens, childrens, childrens nightmares. I really am that bad at dancing. See you there. 

@MoBroJames

I was watching the Arsenal game last night and remembered that all three of the pundits on Sky (Graeme Souness, David Seaman and Ruud Gullit) have previous history with Moustaches and one of them is re-growing their mo this year for Movember. Was this a subtle nod to the mighty MO from Sky Sports 2? The MO does move in mysterious ways…

If you hadn’t seen the previous news post or watched the game and seen his heroic first day effort, the person re-growing this year is Ruud Gullit. 

I briefly mentioned in yesterday’s blog post that this year there are a number of “MO Hubs” that are giving a donation from specially crafted items of either food or drink to Movember.

The first one that I’ll tell you about is a place called The Shop (75 Chamberlayne Road, London, NW10 3ND). The Shop is a place where pretty much everything is up for sale, in addition to their special Movember cocktail you can also buy the chairs, light fittings and the artwork on the wall!

They have created a cocktail called “Movember Rain” which is made up from Lime Juice, Tequila and Ting, shaken and all served up in a jam jar (very cool). Ting is actually a drink from a can, not a “ting” as in slang for “anything”; it’s definitely from a can. 

Their website is currently under construction, or it may have been sold along with a lamp, however you can find out more information through their Facebook page. Alternatively you can also get in touch through their (@TheShopNW10). Luke the co-owner features in some of the pictures we took on our visit – he is a sound lad and I’d certainly recommend paying him and The Shop a visit. And ting.

Today I have made very little MOgress – I am usually a reasonably hirsute chap so won’t be writing myself off too early. Still, there’s always the Lame Mo award at the Gala Parties to aim for. Oh and re: Gala Parties, The Seatbelts are back to the drawing boards for our costumes…apparently a few of our Mo Sista’s weren’t overly happy with the final decision. Whilst the Mo Bro’s in the team appreciate that we are the one that MO the trousers you can never underestimate the power of a Mo Sista. Quite clearly here they have flexed their “support” earlier than expected. 

Finally, check out Anaheim Ducks Jonas Hiller (NHL player) who has created a special edition Movember mask. Hats off to him! 

Until tomorrow.
