Thanks to all who donated for my charity beard off-piccy time

[monkey]

Thank you all very much who donated to Shooting Star House for my make over. I haven't done a total yet as the local rag are going to print it and I haven't collected all the cash pledges yet.

When it actually came down to it I was very nervous but had stocked up on booze which took away the butterflies. The first snip took ages to do. I kept going for it and pulling out at the last minute.

The very next day I phoned my folks and sent a picture message to my Sister. My Mum was tearful even though she said she didn't like it! I also spoke to my 4 year old Neice who nearly broke my heart in two. She said she liked me with the beard and asked if I could shave it back on, all the time with the bottom lip getting more wobbly, and that her Uncle should have a beard. She won't remember me without it.

I still have the beard and might put it on ebay as suggested by a fellow .orger. Apparently one reached ?70!

Without further ado here are the pics of the evening (There will be a video once I can get a dongle to fit the SD card) :

The first cut is the deepest

Something tickled me. Probably the vodka!

I was goaded into this. Sarah told me to wave and I fell for it!

I wasn't goaded into this one. If I had a cane and hat I'd have done Charlie Chaplin

The final result. I'm the bald one holding the Grolsch bottle and grinning stupidly.

You have inspired me to grow a handlebar moustache and mutton chops! :)

I saw it in the flesh at the ace on sunday btw. I was too scared to introduce myself. ;)

[monkey]

Do it do it! I didn't have enough to grow full mutton chops. As you can see in the last few I'm not a very hairy man.

[ezrider111]

LOL well at least you dont lo0k like a convict now Cheers:drink:

[Ed]

You look so much younger! So what inspired doing your head, too?

[monkey]

Your good self and another .orger. Those pics were before my mate had gone to sleep and the missus was in bed and in a drunken stupor I bic'ed it! Bit rashy and not too pretty but it's already coming back.

[Ed]

Your good self and another .orger.

Me?:smt083

I shall be in hot water with the Monkey family;)

[plowsie]

I'm with Ed, I saw your sig on Friday and automatically assumed you were not really old but quite old. Then I saw ya Monday, saw the bike and I was like so where is he, then you said hello to me and I said who ya were I was like no way.

[Spiderman]

Dude i'll be bringing some cash with me to Soho for you this Friday if you're gonna be there?
Good wrok for a good cause... well done to you Terri ;)

[monkey]

Won't be there Friday Zig I'm afraid. Ma und Sis are visiting. Keep it in your jacket pocket though so you don't spend it! Oh and I'll assume you will come back and edit the last bit of that post or I'll grow it all back. I actually shaved again yesterday! Feels weird but sort of 'clean'.

[Speedy Claire]

Well done and brilliant pics... you really do look so much younger, the difference is amazing

Now what sort of backhanded compliment is that:p

Just noticed this bit. You should have! I saw Furry Ginger's bike but didn't see him anywhere. Did you say hello to Bear, Lucky and Jester?

I came across bear a few times. He likes chips. :p

If i'm honest you looked too bald/shiny to approach. ;)

Anyway that would take all the fun out of stalking the soho massive from a distance. So far i have seen most of them, but met very few. :cool:

Here's the original of my avatar for you all to worship:

[monkey]

Oh dear. My Missus always said my beard made me more attractive to your kind. :mad:

[monkey]

Here's what's left of my friend. :(
