Metropol

First of all, apologies for not being very active around these parts recently.  I promise I will do better.

Secondly, it’s now time to abuse my power as Metropol moderator by making this a sticky topic.

I’ve decided to make myself look ridiculous supporting Movember by growing a moustache in aid of raising awareness of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I'm asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity. To help click this link http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-deta ... id/831674/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account.

The Prostate Cancer Charity will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.

For more details on the impact Movember is having please visit http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.

OK so I’m probably going to look extremely silly and I’m sure there will be a photo or two for you to laugh at, but I would really appreciate your support.  I know we’re heading towards an expensive time of year but I would be grateful for anything you can spare for what really is a good cause and something that I’m keen to raise awareness of.

Thanks for your help.

I think I speak for all of metro when I DEMAND that you update your avatar DAILY to show us your progress.

Will this result in more donations?

Yes.

Consider it done - although I am still rather stubble free at the moment. It may have to develop into a close up of my top lip only.

That will be a shame.

And thank you for your donation. I may not always agree with your point of view, but I certainly won't argue with your money. I hope others will give me a helping hand donation wise too - maybe when I've got something more to show for it facial hair wise.

I was going to donate anyway after seeing the "Brav-mo" campaign on Bravo, but I'm now inclined to donate more.

I gave, so do I now get to request that you grow a Salvador Dali or an Hercule Poirot.

Ta very muchly.

Thank you Squarey! I guess seeing as though you've parted with some hard earned cash then it does mean you get a say in the type of moustache. Not Belgium I know but I'm off to Paris for the weekend on Saturday so hopefully this will result in a very fetching Poirot style moustache being fashioned for when I return. Pictures to follow of course!

How's the moustache coming along James?
