Movember

[Alex]

I'm doing it. I used to do it every year - but haven't the last two (two years ago it was my wedding in November, and last year I just didn't).

Back on it this year. Men's health (esp. mental) is a huge concern in Australia.

Good onya, mate!

Although, I've had a beard ever since those dramatic events four years ago... It's like I have Movember all year 'round...

 

[chygry]

Can someone elaborate for me, what does Movember even stand for? Or am I just plain silly?

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Movember a blend of the words 'move' and 'member' and is a special event where many men, especially Alex, manipulate their genitals for charity

 

[chygry]

Right.. Googled it, sounds like a pointless thing to me. Take it as you will.

 

[Alex]

Pointless thing? You get that it raises money for various men's health charities? That's the point, this it has a point and isn't pointless.

 

[chygry]

Yeah mate, that's just playing around with words. There is some sort of a point in everything I suppose. Whatever one does or does not.

Anyway back to the topic, opinions vary a lot - for some it's pointless (they don't care about it), for some not. It's up to you how you perceive some words or things.

 

[yoyo913]

Have you somehow gotten dumber in the last few months?

 

[chygry]

Huh? Nooooooooooooo.... I'm the smartest person you'd ever meet

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

There is a point at which prolonged drug and alcohol abuse causes permanent mental degeneration...

I have raised $ 95 so far and it only just started. yeah, pointless.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Alex has raised nearly $500 and it's not even half way through

Really top job.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Robbie unfortunately I don't think men's health charities will extend to paying for your much desired sex change operation

Right.. When it comes to my case. Mental deterioration would be a better term though.

See the issue is that you said it's a pointless thing - not that some people don't care about it. They're totally different things. Last year in Australia Movember raised $20.3 million. That's not pointless - regardless of whether you care.

Over $600 now - and we're not even halfway!

I never said anything about that...

Alright fair enough. I'm very glad when Australia as a whole raised that much money, with you included. What for though?

Also Alex, you don't have to be so pedantic all the time when it comes to specific phrases or words. Hopefully you do remember that English is not my first language and while I always get my point across, you often tend to nag about some little things, sometimes misinterpreting the whole thing as a whole.

There have been so many times in the past when I've had to rephrase my whole sentences because of it, you finding mistakes in my English and reading it in a wrong way. Not that you're doing that on purpose, but you do that without even noticing. No offence.

And also where have you been? It's been a long while since I've seen you posting. The place has gone really quiet unfortunately, with just a few members posting regularly, even if so. Mostly it has become into ultimate lounge bullying, but I suppose that is the norm around here. At least that's what I've witnessed over the years. Or am I missing out on something, either way, good to ssee you posting again.

That has already been covered in this thread. Men's health - particularly mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

You knew well and truly what pointless meant. Don't pretend you didn't. I explained Movember wasn't pointless, you were wrong. Let's move on and admit you said something silly instead of trying to pretend it was language barrier.
