    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

    it was probably better in the hot takes and unpopular opinions thread..so get grumpy over that 🙂

    For the record I would rather this November challenge than the NNN one also happening

    What's that one?

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

    Indeed. In hindsight, the signing off of Stupidest Idea Ever did send some people a few wrong signals .... as M4L alluded to, it is actually a shit hot idea.

    It seemed others wanted to run with the character assassination and avoid my GOM point.

    This is the GOM thread, where people are supposed to vent about yelling at clouds ....

    It wasn't a hot take or an opinion .... it was a grumpy old man whinge!

    Maybe this is the thread where the Fern finally eats itself. People getting grumpy about people getting grumpy about people getting grumpy.

    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.

    Maybe get some wax and try and compete with this guy ?

    I wonder if Movember is just a cunning way of making it socially acceptable for white dudes in the West to grow a moustache again. Prior to Movember the only moustaches to be seen were probably grown in the mid 1980s.

    There was a brief underground flareup in the 90s..

    I've noticed moustaches have made a come back in the late teen, early 20's age group. Matched with a mullet of some sort.

    The worst thing about Movember is when someone grows a weedy traffic cop job (usually takes all month) and someone says they 'like it' (usually as a joke) which then leads to permanence.
    I then have to stop myself from saying something derogatory out loud. especially when it is your boss.

    @Crucial

    Now every man should have a beard at some time or another. My time was around the time I got married. Wife to be said she liked it so it became sort of permanent, even though I was not so sure. Fast forward to a delayed honeymoon in the South of France where it was bloody hot and the beard itched like the crabs. I had to shave it off and on returning home everyone said what an improvement it was and how a beard really didn’t suit me. Wife chimes in “yeah I didn’t like it at all but I figured if I didn’t fancy you, no other woman would either”.

    I’ve never really trusted her stated opinions since.

    This sounds eerily like my life now

    But I don't know any other way to read "but I figured if I didn’t fancy you, no other woman would either" unless of course ... she has a great sense of humour...

    I tried Movember once but gave up when my sister said my upper lip made me look like a diseased Yak.
