if you look back through the decades the moustache has been there, on the faces of many a celebrity, and i bet everyones dad/uncle/grandad/older brother(or sister) has had one at some point.

it kind of died away in the 90s, although im pretty sure the likes of ian botham and nigel mansel still had one adorning their top lips even then. certainly ian beale has had one come and go many times on eastenders.

so my question is this, when is it going to make a return? it cant be far away now, just about every other trend has made a return, long hair is back now for guys, when i was at school i had a really tragic curly blonde sheep on my head (not for fashion purposes, i was just too lazy to get it cut) and i obviously, and rightly got some stick over it, now i see masses of students with the exact same barnett and it still looks rubbish, but now its cool!

every novemeber i grow one for "movember" raising money for testicular cancer etc. plus i just like having a tache for a few weeks lol!

anyone on here got a tache? (show us!)

anyone fancy growing one for movember?

does anyone else agree that it must be due for a comeback?

[crazirob]

[cradley-heathen]

no not yet, but i curently have a beard which will be trimmed back to just leave teh tache come 1st november! prepared, like a good boy scout!

My wife has a moustache!!

It must be a UK thing, the rest of Northern Europe seem to adore the tash. The Germans, Swiss, Dutch and most of Scandinavia all seem to regularly sport upper lip facial hair, but not us. Personally I think that a having a tash makes you automaticly look like a porn star, so maybe that's part of the problem?

Indeed plenty of moustaches over here in Sweden

i know what you mean about looking like a porn star, either that or a peado?

sometimes it has really backfired on me though, i have had a few funny looks during movembers previously. especially when combined with some of my retro/vintage clothing tastes, some people seem to get it, some people think your just an old perv lol!

We used to have this guy called Terry at a place I used to work at. He grew a moustache and we decided that he looked like a 70's porn star, so we nick named him "Ten Inch Tel". The name stuck and even though he eventually shaved the tash off, he was still known as "Ten Inch Tel" for ever after!!

My missus hates them but my shift participated in Movember the other year and hopefully we will do it again this year. I will be going for a full on Paul Senior along with some decent chops as well.

If you go into Shoreditch you'll see moustaches galore, they're back in fashion with the fixie-riding trickster hipsters!

I'll try and grow one for Movember again but I always end up looking about 14 when I do
