It's all over now and my tache has finally been shaved off :-)

A huge thanks to all that sponsored me and voted for me in the wars. A huge amount of money going to Everyman (see figure above which includes the Gift Aid).

The final animation sequence is on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtUQ7-MIXwA and also on my photo diary. So enjoy :-)

Well it's time to face the day I suppose :-) Not hung over though ... I just like to sleep through any possibility of having one after a 12 hour drinking session :-)

Anyway, it was good to meet Gingerstubble and the Tache Rash boys (and girls) last night. I'll get the group photo on my photo diary soon.

Thanks again for all of your support, we're nearly there :-)

Hopefully with all the publicity the event's had there will be even more money raised than last year which is the most important thing :-) However regardless, I'm sure everyone's had a lot of fun with this :-)

Life is hard, there are high roads and low roads, moutanins, rivers, oveans and ponds, but this challenge has brought the best out in the men that rose to this unfathomable challenge. I'm proud to have taken part, and proud to have witensed the hair grow.....

Top outfit Rusty!! Hope the booze up goes well tonight, have a look at my profile for a few pics of the party in London last night. Meet a lot of Tachebackers from here who were top blokes too. The highlight of the night for me in London was bumping into a cousin I had never met in my life before. Can't wait til next year to go it all again and even though I never won Tache Wars or the Tache parade last night, I will still go down as the first Tache Backer to Blatently bribe a judge on the Panel!

I know there are a few out there, Gingerstubble and the Tache Rash boys and I suspect there may be a few more too.

Anyway, if you're in the area on Friday 28th and are looking for something to do then how about coming along to the Cask and Barrel (bottom of Broughton Street) from 13:30 onwards. The afore mentioned taches will most likely be there too. If you e-mail me - gavin.donkey.cameron@selex-sas.com (to avoid any spam trolls, I'm not a donkey so remove that bit) I'll fire you back my mobile number and you can find out where we are if we move on ... unless anyone can decide on a pub route?

As you know, I'm modelling my tach on any number of 70s p0rn stars. Since I've made so much money, I told folk that I'd dress up as a 70s p0rn star.

So, Friday the 28th, I'll be wearing purple flares, loud shirt (unbuttonned half way down my chest), medallion, wig and big sun glasses to work. I've also called a drinking session after work so will be going around Edinburgh like that! Cask and Barrel from 13:30 if anyone's about :-)
