Sinister growths at The Bishop

[Bony Fido]

In the Bishop yesterday I noticed that 2 of the bar staff were sporting moustaches similar to those worn by the ghastly naff pair in one of those "118 etc" TV ads. These were male bar staff by the way, unfortunately there were no girlies serving at the time I was there (about 4pm - 4.30pm) so I was unable to check them for similar sproutings.

Anyhoo,you may be thinking "what's so unusual about a couple of blokes with moustaches?", but the other thing was that when I later happened to look up, and I swear I was only on my second pint of Budvar, I realised that the lampshades above the bar had also grown identical facial fungus.

Is this some sort of charity stunt, or done for a wager or what? Does anybody out there know? Should I just pretend I didn't see it?

I can't be sure but it could well be for charity

It is very likely for charity. Loads of young guys are growing moustaches to support prosate cancer charities, breast cancer too, I think (guys can get breast cancer as well as women).

Yeah it?s the nut cancer November charity thing. It?s been happening for about 4 years now although this year it seems to have caught on a bit more.

You are right men can get Breast cancer, Check out the Haven Cancer Charity organisation, they have loads of research on breast cancer in men.
