Tiger Mate, may I first correct one item appearing in your story: the afore mentioned bulldog was a 'Watson', as in Sherlock Holmes, not 'Winston'. But you're right, the Canadian is a legend of our time.
Fangled, The Moustache is a wonderful idea. Whilst sporting a hirsute upper lip you will be automatically singled out as gentleman from the off. I believe the boarding officers will be fairly jumping for you to sign your life away.
It is true that the 'tache has wanned away from it's glory years when Spitfires and Lancs ruled the skies. However, on certain SH sqns it is making a redoubled comeback. In one years time I predict it will be common place among wocka mates to be sporting the mentioned facial article. Obviosly, it will take some time for the FJ fraternaty to catch up with this vogue...mostly because those lot can't grow facial hair.
If you havn't already done so, I would recommend getting yourself down to Curzon Street and getting a consultation with the gentlemen at Geo F Trumpers. They will advise you on exactly what sort of moustache would suit you and supply you with all the required grooming products.
Good Luck, Old Bean!

No you won't - as a 'slug balancer' you'll be seen as almost as big a tit as that ar$e 'Pablo' M*s*n.....

If you want to get yourself noticed at OASC/AIB you could always try the trick that worked for those of us pre Playstation - enthusiasm, sporting ability, and a desire to lead 
Just a thought, but perhaps not taught in school these days?

Ah, the 1950's......when men were men and I wasn't even born. On some of this advice I suppose I could go to my local ladies hair salon and ask Sharon for some nice blonde highlights, razor sharp sideburns and my eyebrows waxed.
Thanks for the tips BN Boy, duly noted and I will be on the look out for any 'tashees at this years RIAT! (No wonder the wokka has the best display by far!)
In the meantime I think all this moustache business is taking my focus off the real job at hand. I'd better reach the egg before I can walk!
Thanks all I'll let you know of the results, good luck in all you do.

you recall the photo I posted, taken of members of
....... the "Handlebar club"

It's a small world .... that's for sure ....
I have to confess .... my Father sported one for many years ..... 'Spit' Pilots .... don't you just love them ...

Fangled...., a word of warning..., if you do decide to sport some face fungus..., take care when challenged to down an afterburner or similar at HH..., the smell of burned hair will stay with you (and others in the vacinity) for weeks

No, no, no and no again. Please, no more men with tashes. It never looks good. What are you trying to hide. Despite the fact, of course, that it will age you terribly.

Well, there I was ready to leave the fine arena that is Pprune and concentrate on AIB/ OASC, and then Mike Reheat and Tanewha pop up!!
Mike Reheat- What's HH? At a guess I'd say......I really don't know! Hupper Heyford?!
Tanewha- I take it you're the opposite of sex to me? (Me male, you female). I'm not trying to hide anything, merely trying to say that I disagree with all this metrosexual malarkey and that if more men grew 'tashes they were proud of the maybe it would have a good effect on society.
I'd rather go for a drink with the boys from the Temple Public House than some of the idiots that pass for university educated people these days. (Worlds youngest grampa at 21).
PS- if anyone is involved with Junglies please could they PM me with details about the 'job', it's something I'm really interested in but know little about.
Thanks everyone.
