♫ It's coming home, it's coming..! ♫

The Aussies may have retained the Ashes but 2023 is going to be the year that the UK beats them in the arena of competitive mullet growing.

I have been growing my mullet since 2021 with the intention of winning the international mullet championships at Mulletfest in Australia. This is widely considered to be the Everest of the competitive mullet growing world.

I was lucky enough to win the heat in Kurri Kurri, New South Wales earlier this year and in doing so secured a place in the finals. Now only the final round in December lies between me and victory.

As a Pom, beating the Aussies at mullet growing would feel like fitting retribution for the 1882 ashes series. Should I win this competition I plan on burning my mullet and returning it to them in an urn.

I work as a civilian GP for the army and many of my patients are in the at-risk age group for developing testicular cancer. Sadly this disease is becoming more common. Testicular cancer UK is a fantastic charity that raises awareness of this disease and helps those who have been affected. If diagnosed early it can be easily treated so raising awareness is essential.
