Great efforts everyone, and all for an exceptionally good cause. A member of my family was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer - luckily, it was caught early on, and he's made a full recovery. In any case, I will be making a donation to the winner's pot, and thankyou all for taking the time to make a difference


As for my vote, for a truly terrifying 'tache that made be spit my cup of tea out all over my keyboard (with laughter? With horror? Not entirely sure yet ), it has to go to Dan!

Well done all!



Are you gonna donate the mustaches too?

Dan's got a point in his campaign speech: Not only a mustache, but a hat, mascara, and a Rolex. I mean, how can you compete with a candidate with his own hair and makeup staff? Now that's how to win an election on TRF!

Best wishes to all!

I think Spudsy won this by a hair.
Extra points were awarded for the black 'touch up'!!!

Get ready Mate, we're starting a new contest in January.......this time we measure hair growth from the top of the head.

First off my daughter Jaz said I have to 'accessorize' to stand any chance of winning so here's a rather dashing matching mo', eyebrows & hat combo'......







Then due to the aforementioned time constraints we ditched the bleach & dye in favour of Jaz's mascara.....







But obviously anything Ryan can do in a steston I can do better so....





but finally here's the official Freddy-esque entry pic' in hope that my bestest buddy MarcInTheMiddle can get some of his mates to vote for me....!!





Sorry again for the delay y'all.......

I voted Spuds. More of a question of "least worst" than "best" though. The Floridians final attempt had me misdirected by the hat and if that horse with Grumpy Badger were to lick him I fear that the wispy moustaches would disappear. That leaves Spuds, so well done.

The polls are about to close. CONGRATULATIONS SPUDS!

Movember is about raising awareness, and funds, to fight cancer. But I can't think of a reason why it can't be silly too. You brought a lot of fun to my Movember and I applaud you sir.

Thanks to Mark & Dan both for stepping up and accepting my challenge. You fella's are o.k. in my book.

Now I'm off to make my donation to the winner. Cheers!

p.s. Get those uncomfortable checkups everyone. Be there for your friends and families. Early detection is key.

Congrats Spudsy! I'll wire your winnings as soon as you have recovered!

It was all a bit of fun but in a VERY good cause!

Hopefully we've all raised a bit of cash that can be put to good use. Thanks to all the guys on here who donated to my MoSpace!

Alas my mo is now only a distant memory. I wanted to give it another month but the Long-Haired General put her foot down.

I'm off to lick my wounds now having been given a thorough drubbing by both of my Mo Bro's.

However, I cannot help but record my suspicion that yours is a permanent fixture...would I be right?..
