1. The Vanilla Slice Blog is the 'Featured Blog of the Day' at The Australian Index for being quirky and for profiling an Aussie obsession.

2. Gordon Ramsay admits to a low sperm count. Food critic Giles Coren has irregularly formed sperm.

To keep your custard in good shape, remember to drink 1.5 litres of water every day and to eat SOLE Food and Slow Food. Cook with the best quality produce you can afford, wear loose briefs and you'll evidently keep 'your boys' happy.

3. Having raised money for mens' issues - with beneficiaries The Prostate Cancer Foundation & Beyond Blue - Movember wraps up in the next day. Thankfully Mr Stickyfingers will be removing his itchy big moustache - inspired by Lemmy of Motorhead - where both custard and icing collect on tasting. Last year he modelled himself on Borat sans Mankini - fetching.....NOT!

Movember (the month formally known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year.

At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants known as Mo Bros then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raiseas much money and awareness about male health issues, in particular prostate cancer as possible.

Movember culminates at the end of the month at the gala partés. These glamorous and groomed events will see Tom Selleck and Borat look-a-likes battle it out for their chance to take home the prestigious Man of Movember title.
