January can be a daunting struggle, running low on money and cheer, so why not have a laugh at your own expense and do a bit of good?

The good folk of Hartlepool and beyond were never shy giving their brutally honest opinion on my own Movember effort, so for January, I'll be starting a month-long teaching contract in a new school and going about my business sporting just the left-hand side of that Movember effort, documenting the best and worst of the grief I receive for your and (hopefully) my amusement. There'll be no tougher crowd than school kids.

All donations go to feeding the good folk of Hartlepool. So many could be one bit of bad luck away from needing this service. A happy 2026 to all!
