I think it was my ex-wife saying that the tash looked trendy that forced my hand. It is not that her judgement is in any way poor it is just that I do not do trendy. Besides which it was itching like hell.
And so, as you can see, as soon as I arrived back in Bristol at 1 AM Sunday morning I scuttled into the bathroom and blunted a razor removing it. Stroking my now silky smooth upper lip as I lay in bed it felt a bit as if something was missing but on balance I was glad to be shot of it.
Thank you to all who sponsored me for Movember. It is much appreciated.

I explain why I am still sporting a Movember tash. Fear not it will come off this weekend.
There is a brief comment on the death of Nelson Mandela but that is covered in more detail in an article here
I look at how the global warming nutters have commented in such an asinine way on the storms.
And then I talk for the first time about my departure from Rivington Street just under two years ago. That was a company I founded 13 years ago which is now going into administration, 19 months after I left it and 28 months after I stopped being its CEO.

Thank heavens Movember is over. I do not know how men wear a tash all year round. It trickles, itches and is all round unpleasant. I shall be keeping my tash until the 7th December and a family event but cannot wait to remove it thereafter.
Having suffered for 31 days already perhaps you might care to sponsor my Movember efforts to raise money to fight prostate and testicular cancer.

Movember update – four days to go. As you can see below the Movember tash is continuing to grow. I am actually rather starting to like my “follicle splendour” as Mr Kit Ingoldby described my tash.
Mr Gary Ashworth of Interquest (ITQ) – which incidentally served up a very decent trading statement today and is a buy at 94p – was rather less charitable, saying the tash was “More Ian Beale than Rhett Butler.” Mr Beale is a character in East Enders. Hmmm.
At least Gary is not trying to “out me” as gay like Evil Knievil.

I see nothing wrong with being a homosexual or looking like one (if there is such a standard look). But despite going to the sort of school (perhaps it is because) where buggering younger boys was part of the core curriculum, Evil Knievil has less tolerant views.
He has therefore emailed me today to say “you look like a homosexual” which he, no doubt, regards as a deep insult. Whatever…
I think he refers to my moustache which 25 days into Movember might just get me into the sort of seedy Soho bar where you would get to meet stacks of Evil’s contemporaries from Rugby.
To show solidarity in the face of this homophobic assault please sponsor my Movember efforts raising money to fight prostate and testicular cancer HERE

Tom is, as you can see in this video, sporting a truly stupid tash. He is doing this for Movember and seeking your sponsorship to raise money to fight prostate and testicular cancer?
Tom covers this in the video.
If you wish to sponsor Tom Winnifrith for Movember go HERE
Tom also tackles Neil Hamilton, the disgraced ex MP and now UKIP spokesman and his disgraceful deceit on Bulgarian & Romanian immigration
Then Tom addresses the financial issues at the heart of the Co-op’s unacceptable financial arrangements with the Labour Party
Tom’s financial video postcard covers the lies by Crony capitalists on AIM and how to deal with them and also the fate of mining stocks and it can be viewed HERE

ADVFN CEO Clem Chambers described Tom Winnifrith’s new facial hairs as looking “dashing”. Mrs W described them as making him look “like a criminal from the TV show Ripper Street”.
Tom admits they are ridiculous but this is for a good cause: Movember. Will you sponsor Tom’s tash to raise money to fight prostate and testicular cancer? The most recent photo is below

You would have thought that greedy MPs have by now decided to err on the side of caution when it comes to expenses. Oh no. Think again.
Before we start on that I hope you can see that I now sport a 17 day old Movember moustache and if you care to sponsor my Movember efforts you can do so here.
This MP scandal is over office rents. And it goes to the heart of the battle between the political classes and we mere plebs.

As you can below see the moustache is growing at a reasonable rate. If I did not have (far too many ) flecks of grey it would look even more pronounced but it still looks a bit daft to me. And it itches. I really cannot see why anyone would choose to wear a moustache. But it is Movember.
To those who have sponsored me in this good cause, thank you.
If you have not yet sponsored me, feel free to do so here.
Many thanks in advance
And remember that if you are enough of a real man that you are growing a tash for Movember you can get 20% off your bill during Movember at Real Man Pizza in Clerkenwell – more details HERE

I hope you appreciate my efforts so far on behalf of Movember. This is the first time in my life that I have grown daft facial hairs. If you might care to sponsor me for a few quid you can do so HERE
The video postcard this week discusses the inconsitencies, weaknesses and other issues which are making me like UKIP less and less.
My financial video postcard discusses the ongoing UK consumer boom, what it means for QE, base rates and shares and can be watched here.

I think moustaches look ridiculous. I have thus never grown one but here goes as I embrace Movember 2013.
The Mrs has a very good friend Dan who works there and I follow his lead. One should try everything once except incest & folk dancing (actually I have done a bit of folk dancing) and Movember is a good cause and so I shall grow a moustache just this once, this month.
If you care to sponsor me you can do so here
Moreover to support others who are doing the same for the month of November we will offer a 20% discount to any customer of Real Man Pizza in Clerkenwell, who is also taking part in Movember. Real Man would like to support Real Men.
So if you are in the Clerkenwell area and fancy taking some quirky Celtic Italian food and drink and would like to take up this offer we’d love to see you. More details can be found at http://www.therealmanpizzacompany.com/blog/
