Having completed the 1000 mile Challenge the London Marathon was the hardest race I have ever run. The thing that kept me going was the fact that if I won Dave Bedfords moustache would come off for charity. I really believed it would happen but I am so dissapointed it hasn't. There is a picture on the Flora London Marathon website of Dave without the tache but it's fake, he is hiding in Brazil complete with tache! I think it should come off on his return, please let me know your thoughts.

maybe we should get an MP to force through a private members bill declaring that conditions of re-entry for David Bedford are that he must remove his moustache?

If DB's passport photo shows him avec 'tache maybe he didn't think he would get through Brazil customs tache-less!

Well done Shona, loved the bit on BBC where the interviewer was trying to keep up with you. Now I know why we never see any interviews with the sub 2:45 bunch during the race!

Isn't moustache a difficult word to spell, have never used it in any of my great compositions to date, including the epic letter of complaint about my speeding ticket.

I digress, perhaps the moustache could be lifted whole and displayed in perpetuity (another word I've never used before) in the FLM hall of fame. Could go alongside a rhino suit and a v large jar of vaseline.

Shona, well done indeed

Give him an ultimatum he either gets it shaved off or he will be pinned to the floor and each hair can be plucked out!!!!

Shona, many congratulations on your achievement.

i'm sure you will be able to find many a strong person to hold him down while you do the honours!
AND! well done to you as well. I can't believe what you have achieved over the past 6 weeks.
congratulations

Why dont you do what they used to do on the A Team to get BA on an aeroplane and knock him out next time see him?

Then when he's away with the zeds, you can shave away to your hearts content.

Given that he's been such a cad about the whole thing, I'd shave off one eyebrow as well. One eyebrow missing looks funnier than both missing somehow.

Well done BTW. That was some time after what you'd been through

I think it might be in his best to have it shaven off in a civil manner on his return from exile as there has been a lot of interest from a team of pheasant pluckers!

Well done in your race Shona! It would have taken more than DaveB's tache to keep me going after all that sleep deprivation...!

Surely there must be ways to get at the man....

Out of interest Shona, did David actually agree to have it shaven off if you won the 1000 mile challenge?

I think it should go anyway - it's a remnant of the 70s - I'm surprised he's not still wearing that headband he always used to wear :-). I swear the people in the 118 118 advert are based on Dave Bedford!
