“It’s good to have something to live for you’ll find…”



Dear readers. A very good friend of the Herbal T family is doing a bit more than growing a dodgy moustache for charity – he is going to run 1,000+ miles in the month of December to help raise awareness of the ‘On The Road Again’ programme. How amazing is that? More info can be found here http://www.ontheroadagain.ie/

Of course, any support would be much appreciated as this is a non-profit organisation that aims to promote self-sufficiency in the homeless population, and to assist those suffering from mental health issues.

If you are a Herbal T visitor who is in Ireland, please feel free to see if Paul is running down a road near you and be sure to go out to cheer him as he passes. (Wave a pint and a bag of Taytos at him; that should torment the mad bastard.)

“…if you wanna catch a Saint, then bait your hook…”



During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.

On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shave face and then for the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Mo Sistas are the women who register to support the men in their lives, raising funds by seeking sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health. At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.
