LITTLE BADGES - BADGE 'O' THE MONTH NOVEMBER EQUALS MOVEMBER

Hi

The virtual kettle's on..... So while I let it boil I just have this to say

It's that time again. Badge 'o' the month time. Wow how the months are whizzing past.Before we know it, Halloween will be over, bonfire night will have burnt itself out and Christmas will be knocking on the door shouting...."let me in...let me in...It's blooming freezing out here".

Strewth (don't know where that Australianism came from) Halloween has passed, Bonfire night is literally hours away....and it is definitely getting colder.

So, November is already here. It's upon us, we had a fab night for Halloween, some ghouls and boys popped by to relieve us of sweets, and I have dusted off the sparklers to use for Bonfire night.

But I no longer think of November as the exciting Bonfire Night month, with Jacket potatoes laden with hot baked beans and grated cheese atop...The feeling of throbbing cold fingers as you come in out of the back garden where you have stood getting a free view of other peoples fireworks displays....the smell of burnt sparklers heavy in your nose and the pangs of excitement at finding a damp spent firework cardboard shell the next day in your garden.

The magic for me of Fireworks left many years ago. It must be an age thing, but I do not relish standing out in the cold for hours going..."ooooh"...."ahhhhh"

And the whole Guy Fawkes thing! Guido Fawkes was a Fall guy for the rest. And they never actually blew up parliament....mores the pity.

For me now, November has been successfully renamed Movember. It is the month when men (and women I suppose!) grow a moustache for men's health. The idea is to get people to sponsor your moustache growing abilities, and have competitions to grow the biggest or longest moustache in Movember. Proceeds of this heroic action go to Prostate Cancer, and at the end of it....you have a fine moustache like Tom selleck! the god of Moustache wearers.

And lets face it....As far as November morphing into Movember.... well who else apart from Guido Fawkes sported such a fine tash!

And that is why this month we have lofted 'Gringo Moustache' to the lofty heights of Badge 'o' the month.



Well, I can hear the kettle has just finished boiling so

Milk and sugar?
