In a post long ago (link), the site asked readers whether there should be a men's day in the UK and also what day that should be.
Little do the site know that 19th November has already been designated as International Men's Day (link).
It is already celebrated in Trinidad and Tobago, India, Pakistan and now Australia.
As far as anyone is aware, there is no such event in the UK but clearly in 2009, there has to be.
Great idea. Cool poster. Lets start agitating.

Men of the United Kingdom, the challenge has begun. As the above poster said, "there is no such event in the UK but clearly in 2009, there has to be." !!
For anyone wanting to inaugurate the first UK. IMD, even if its just a lunch date, please go to the global International Men's Day website and record your history-making gesture. Don't worry you are not alone...... many other counties are ALREADY DOING IT !
IMD Promo-packs will soon be available here for order: http://www.internationalmensday.com/ContactUs.htm (posters, etc).
See you on the 19th.
