Anyone else going?
I am growing a moustache this year for Movember. I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer.
What many people don’t appreciate is that one man dies every hour of prostate cancer in the UK, more than 35,000 men will be diagnosed this year and that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.
To donate to my Mo, you can either:Movember is now in its third year here in the UK and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Charity. Check out further details at: http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/resear
- Donate online using your credit card, debit card or PayPal account or
- Write a cheque payable to ‘The Prostate Cancer Charity - Movember’, referencing my Registration Number 391004 and mailing it to: Movember - The Prostate Cancer Charity, First Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London, W6 0LE.
ch-and-programs.
You can follow the progress of my Mo online. Also, http://uk.movember.com has heaps of useful information.
Thank you
But you don't need that any more than you do when someone posts about race for life or bungee jumping for the RNLI, if this is your sort of cause or you just want to support me looking stupid, please donate.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

For the two of you that don't read XKCD this graph almost describes one of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
pharrap or bonedancer's movie nights except the "so-bad-it's-good" data point is no where near far enough up the Y axis.
It’s an inspired decision by director Tony Kennick to include female actors in the traditionally all male cast - The Star.
We have been told that they won't announce the date for next year until this coming October event.
We have been told that we shouldn't assume when the dates are as they will probably be not the ones we expect.
But now we are being told this on the official WGW website:
WGW 2010 Dates
Apologies for sending this kind of email to you all, but an important development in the Whitby Gothic Weekend has taken place and we felt you may like to know. Also since many of you may have mailing lists of your own, or club websites. Myspace or facebook pages etc, then we would ask that you help to spread the word through those. The Whitby Gothic Weekend is one of Europes longest running festivals and as such we feel that we should, as a community, do what we can to help save it. Even if you don’t sign, please help us to spread the word to allow others to make up their mind. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/whitbydates/
We the undersigned, petition the company, Whitby Festival Traders to restore the booking of the Leisure Centre during the April 2010 Whitby Gothic Weekend (specifically the 23rd, 24th and 25th April) into the rightful hands of Top Mum Promotions.
Glengarry Glen Ross is on Wednesday to Saturday next week at the University of Sheffield Drama Studio.
TechnoPhobia are recruiting for Business Analysts, do you have an eye for detail?
As a number of you have asked I can't have told you all I am not working the beer festival this year. With no spare holiday due to '1 goes mad in Dorset', play rehearsals and a wedding I can only make it Friday night. Since I have never been to Steel City as a punter I thought I would go for a few jars in the evening and chill with my friends. As I understand it a number of people are going to other sessions if you can't make it Friday and want some company.
14th to 17th October at the University Drama Studio doors open at 7pm for a prompt 7.30pm start.
Lies, flattery, threats, intimidation, four desperate estate agents will do anything to sell. Mamet's Pulitzer Prize winning play is edgy, exhilarating and blackly comic as the characters plot, plead, and betray each other in a paradigm of the energy and cruelty of capitalism in action. Contains very strong language throughout.
Our online Box Office is now open 
A long time ago (about 2001 I think) I was travelling back to Sheffield from Manchester on the train. We were travelling on a different route from normal as track-works had blockaded Stockport station.
As we were travelling along I caught sight of a magnificent and attractive but faded building of some kind of religious origin. It loomed out from the background full of Gothic splendour seemed utterly out of context and captivated me for the brief moments we trundled past.
The memory occasionally comes back and I take a poke around the internet trying to find it. Today I took a different tack and started looking through the lists of listed building in Greater Manchester on Wikipedia and found it. The Church and Friary of St Francis aka Gorton Monastery which is now a conferencing/banqueting/wedding venue that seams to try and do the whole spiritual twist thing.
Now I know what and where it is I may have to pay a visit.
The Mirror carried a piece called "Discovering Sheffield, a seriously underrated bet for a weekend break" now obviously there wasn't room for everything fab about this fair city in one article. What was missed, which Steel City activity, hotel, pub, venue etc did they miss out that you would like to see in a curated list of the good bits?
The worst thing in this article on Kraft after Cadbury is at the bottom, the bit about a counter-bid bid from Nestle and Hershey's!
I tell you what if it comes to that I'm going to buy up Green and Black's in bulk, the only thing I really miss about the Rowntree's back catalogue is the Polo, but the loss of one of the great bars of white chocolate would be a pain.
Where do you recommend for buying geek toys[1] in terms of reliability, price and quality of service.

For those of you I have been talking to an and off line about this Jo has just posted on the forum[1] that next years dates will not be announced until this Halloween's WGW.
I suspect a significant number of people will have problems with accommodation due to this, especially in the current economic climate.

But cowprintavenger posted this:
So, Ad is urging the word to be spread so I'd better spread it... Hillsborough Hotel, bank holiday Monday. They have pie and good beer. Bring board games (please please bring at least some games that aren't too geeky, 5 hours longy or overly concerned with piles of little cards*).
*this was not included in what Ad said
The fun and excitement on Saturday 25th July will now start with a BBQ from 2pm still at delanthear's house.
