Pretty sure we'd all vote for the most ridiculous/impractical hat we can think of and Teebs will end up going on stage in a giant pink sombrero.

Then we'll have to live with the guilt when he inevitably gets beaten like a pinata for cultural appropriation  by the outraged Mancunian Mexican community.

Gets my vote then!

Come on, vote Sombrero!!

Thanks Frank, but I fear that the LeanHombré is correct, and I am not one of those blessed enough to wear a hat with style. :(

Fortunately, I make up for this by having bags of style in other areas! smiley

You just haven’t found the correct style as yet, try on everything, even Tupperware, after all, look at Devo.

I noticed! How did you know I'm afraid of spiders? 😄

Oh no, I'm sooooo sorry! :o

I must make sure I never do that again! :D 🕸

If the circumstantial evidence is to be believed, he'd still look like Bootsy in his street clothes! 🤩

This is actually true.

It was 'dress down day' at work today, & this is exactly what I wore.

The clients were hugely impressed in the progress meeting! :D 👍

Bootsy got nowt on me, brotha! :D 🎩

I've no TLRTs left ( :(), but I shall be reviewing the suggestions over the next few days and awarding a prize for my favourite answer :) 👍

And administering a harsh beating to the most ridiculous or offensive suggestion (to be won by Ricky4000 and/or SkinnyZombie) :D

Didn't Dr Seuss write a book about all this

...and then something went BUMP!
how that bump made us jump!
we looked!
then we saw him step in on the mat!
we looked!
and we saw him!
the prat in the hat!
and he said to us,
'why do you sit there like that?'
'i know it is wet
and the sun is not sunny.
but we can have
lots of good fun that is funny!'

"Just look at my bass

It's a Fender you know,

And tell me it's ace

And not just for show

If I play you a song

You can all sing along

But cover your ears

When i get it all wrong"

 

And there on the mat

With his ludicrous hat

There stood the prat

The prat in the hat

With a smile on his face

As he played on his bass

 

The children all applauded the prat

And threw coins in his hat

Where it lay on the mat

And they shouted and shouted

And all sang along

Till the prat in the hat had ended the song

"You should be on telly,

On one of the Beebs,

Oh please play some more,

On your bass, Mr Teebs"

 

But the prat was tired

His hat was too tight

So the prat in the hat

Bade the children good night.

And off he went with a swish of his hat

That marvellous hat

On the head of a prat.

Nice! 👍

Like it! :D

You have a certain way with words - have you ever tried using them to string a coherent sentence? :D

The guitarist in our acoustic band did a gig in a metal WW2 ARP helmet and another gig in a proper army pith helmet. If you're gonna wear a hat do it properly. 

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Fez!

When the egregiously drab Carol Anne Duffy handed in her badge I had high hopes for the next incumbent of the office of Poet Laureate.

Of course, we ended up with Simon Armitage, a specimen of extreme loathesomeness whose poetic output is limited to a meagre few published collections, these propped up by occasional dribs and drabs of semi-literate doggerel condescendingly lobbed at his fawning adulants rather as a chimpanzee might hurl his fecal matter at a coach party of mouth breathing schoolchildren.

That Mr Armitage has stooped to write librettos for modern opera merely compounds rather than alleviates the crushing ennui that befalls me when I hear his name or - worse - his ghastly, nasal voice droning away on Radio Four about inclusion, compassion and his (feigned) affinity for the North of England, a bleak and charmless locale where no fashionable gentleman would venture even on a bet.

The repellent Armitage will probably remain in post for some time and it will be with the greatest difficulty that I shall suppress my feverish anticipation for the day when his inglorious tenancy comes to an ignominious and preferably painful end, and the talented Mr Skinnyman takes his rightful place as our national poetaster.

Sic transit Gloria Gaynor, as my old pal and drinking buddy Alf Tennyson was wont to say. He knew whereof he spoke.
