As I promised before if I raise £200 then the tache will stay for another month… so now is you chance to do your bit for charity and make me look like a complete idiot… WIN WIN!

Yep, there is no doubt about it.

I look like someone’s Dad and I’m about to get up and start embarrassing you by dancing to The Arctic Monkeys

This photo is a complete travesty and I’m sorry.

The tache is coming along nicely though, got a bit of a twist on it today

Just thought I’d post this follow up to the Swindon Town story… now Hull City are on-board too.

Best of luck to the Tigers!

I’ve been thinking about all the lovely people that have been supporting me over the last couple of weeks. The sponsorships have been great and the clicks in the battles have been numerous.

But I was thinking today that it’d be really nice if everyone could somehow join in the fun with a tache of their own.

First I thought about Photoshop:

And stick on mexican moustaches from the fancy dress shop …obviously.

 A Surprisingly Good Mexican, by Tom Hume

And the taches for your phone, of course:

But after a conversation with a good friend I realised that it could be as simple as adding a tache to your smileys!

Now, every time you tweet, IM, email or digitally emote you can add a tache.

I’m sure there are many many ways to go with this, but I’ve discovered at least three good options for the newbie tache-smiler.

Option 1: THE CHAP

 :})

Very simple but oh so stylish. A tache one of my heroes Michael “Atters” Attree would be proud of.

Option 2: THE GENT

 :|)

Just as simple but perhaps one for the more conservative tache-tweeter.

Option 3: THE BOUNDER

 :{)

Option 4: THE BIKER

 :C)

This is the look I’m going for, a full on biker handlebar - 70s-porn-style. Nice!

So yeah… if you remember, please play along… if you’re ever about to fire off a smiley, think about adding some style and do please remember it’s all for a good cause.

Those lovely Tacheback people have included me on their blog.

How kind of them to put up a pic and a link and encourage people here.

If that’s how you found me then “Helloooooo” to you. You’ll find lots of nonsense here I can tell you.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with my swanky new Remington, but as you can see I did get a bit carried away with all the different settings and blades!

Heinz Christophel, Palatinate Beard Club, Heddesheim, Germany

Total total respect for Heinz here, massive kudos not only for the evocative tache-shap to the beard, but also for the top-lip twirls which set it all off perfectly.

Such power and passion in those sweeping arcs.

Notice how the hat serves as the perfect foil to the undergrowth beneath.

Such symmetry of form.

Good news: I’ve now got £65 in sponsorship!

Thanks to Katherine, Jonathan and Myf I’m now past the fifty-quid mark,, which is good because I didn’t even think I’d get that far.

I’ve decided that if I make £400 or more I’ll promise to keep it for another month. In fact, for every £200 after that I’ll keep it for another month.

Oooh. I’ve just realised that if I get £2400 I’ll have an whopper before the start of Tacheback 2009!

And now you, yes… YOU, can sponsor me here: :)
