    Never wear a hat that is more interesting than you.

      But I look even more stupid in a baseball cap.

      I should wear a hat more than I do when I'm 'out there', but I just don't get along with them. Never bothered in the UK.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            Anyone older than 12 should never wear a baseball cap - it identifies you as a septic idiot.

              true dat.

              I've just remembered. You should have seen and heard ex-mrs HAB when she found me down one of the bars chatting up a couple of septic tourists with a knotted handkerchief hat made out of a serviette and looking very much like this (that's not me).

              Needless to say, I was very, very drunk.

                In the Barbour shop on Piccadilly the other day I was tempted to buy an Andy Capp flat cap, but then thought it would make me look 10 years older and as if I was hiding a bald head, and as not many people wear them I didn't want to look too eccentric.

                  Someone once said you can measure the health of a society by the number of eccentrics that it tolerates. On my travels, for what it's worth, I note there now many more eccentrics in Germany than there are in the UK, where everyone seems to have the same aspirational consumerist ideas.

                      Oh Owlie - you were born to wear a panama
                      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
