Where's the tache-o-meter when you need it, eh? tsk tsk – The Friday Links blog

Facial hair, eh, it can be a bit of a polarising subject can’t it? You either love the sight of a well groomed muzzy nestling proudly atop a lip or you demand that your nan starts using the Jolen again (boom boom).

For those in the first camp, and all the good tash touters this Movember – keep up the good work @Stephen_WJ – we kick off the Friday Links this week with a gem of an homage to the might of the moustache.

If only this in-all-other-regards-rather-marvellous world-o-meter included a tache counter. Oh well, on the up side the omission doesn’t detract from the slack-jawed wonderment brought about by the speed at which the counter for number of emails sent today ratchets up. Or the frankly scarily small number representing how many days of oil there are left if consumption continues at its current rate. Gulp.

Now we don’t want to send you off into the weekend all fearful for the future so we leave you with these two distinctly Friday-feeling links – the first will have you chuckling away at classic iPhone autocorrect fails and the second, well, best you take a look for yourself, but fair play to the fella we say, the chewing gum’s there for the painting.
