Just this minute found out about Bowel Cancer UK's Decembeard thingy and, since I've been pretty lacklustre with the razor recently... well, I'm in.  Let's see if I can raise a few quid for a very good cause.

Bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in the UK and around 16,000 people die each year; that's someone every 30 minutes.

Don't be idiots and throw thousands of pounds at me - it's an expensive time of year and I was probably going to grow a beard anyway, because it's bloody freezing.  Personally, I'm sticking in a fiver and I'd rather no one put in any more than that, because it'll just make me look like a cheap turd on my own page.  But if you've got a spare couple of quid and can't be bothered to walk to Greggs, please donate: you may just help to save someone's butt.

Thank you.

Btw: if anyone has any particular favourite beard pictures, feel free to share them and I'll post them up here.  Cheers!
