    @Kiwiwomble remember that time you walked across Oz to raise awareness and funds for your charity and I gave you fifty bucks?

    Well, I’m going to limit myself to 2 beers a day this week for my charity, care to repay the favour?

    @MajorRage ....if its going to charity, then yeah...ideally we woulnd't have to do anything...people would just give what they could to good causes

    you really sound like you only do these things for the credit and now you're annoyed because you could have done less

    @Kiwiwomble I’m sorry you think that. Couldn’t be further from the truth.

    Edit. Actually I’m really angry with that comment. That’s fucking shit and nothing what I stand for in life. Nothing. The sort of grand standing behavior I can’t stand.

    Won’t engage again.

    I’m lazy. If its a choice between growing facial hair or running then that’s no choice at all.

    Not entirely true, exercise is awesome except running.

    Fuck running.

    Running is one of my 'happy places'. Fuck getting older and not being able to run as often as I want.

    I do like the benefits of cardio vascular fitness but give me weights to do or a punching bag to hit any day of the week.

    I'm with the Rager here. It's lazy shit.

    Go without booze for a month (fuck that) , go run/walk some crazy stuff, sure, I'll pay that.

    But be lazy and just don't shave for a month? Really?

    Is there another charity where I can not wear deodorant for a month, anyone care to sponsor me for that?

    The Women in Sensible Shoes Consortium?

    You could always run a marathon AND grow a moustache ? Maybe do a 40 hour famine and dry July at the same time.

    That way you cover all bases.

    Not sure what the problem is regarding exactly what the action is that generates the publicity and subsequent donations. Perhaps the grumpiness should be directed at the fact we have to fundraise for these sorts of organisations.

    I get grumpy that the leading cause of death in 15-59 men in NZ is suicide. Thus I have a painful and disgusting mo on my face - facial hair and I do not agree. But I've raised a few hundy towards a good cause

    Thr key to movember IS that's its simple. It's really accessible, and everyone knows 3 or 4 people doing it, thus donate 3 or 4 times. It gets enormous spread simply because it's not hard to do.

    Very fucking effective little fundraiser

    Yeah my facial hair might as well have it's origins as the founder of steelo, so absolutely fuck growing facial hair, especially on the top lip where it's super thick and collects half of every mouthful of food.

    I can't grow it much more than two weeks without it being agony.

    But yeah, fuck people raising funds for charity without going through hardship, what a disgrace.

    Are you supposed to get sponsored for growing a mo? I thought it was all about "raising awareness"...

    Strange what this thread has become. The Major simply said he wasn't interested in sponsoring someone because they didn't bother to shave their top lip for a month, that he'd much rather sponsor someone for achieving something.

    In a thread titled Grumpy Old Man, this seems a fair view to espouse 🤷‍♂️

    But no, that's outrageous, how dare he! You'd have thought he asked for the fucking event to be cancelled and the founders to be executed!

    Bunch of grumpy cnts, all of you

    Sounds like you're thinking you're missing out on some good moolah.
