Escaped mental patients.

[Brendan]

Has anyone else noticed that there are an awful lot of them walking around at the moment? You can identify them by their hats:

Has there been a mass breakout at a local asylum?

[mockney piers]

Is that my hat?!

[Brendan]

Could be.

Traditionally worn by escaped Canadians or those who have taken a holiday south of sanity.

[Jah Lush]

It looks very warm though. Could come in a bit handy when the snow starts falling. Now, where can I get my hands on one?

[mockney piers]

Use a can of Super Tennent's in Soho Sq as bait, then wait, cosh at the ready.

[Brendan]

Just think Steve Buscemi in Fargo.

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Maybe the lead singer from Eeels look is in vogue? :))

[benjaminty]

So you're saying I shouldn't buy this?

Have you no idea how cold my ears were this morning!!!!!

[Jah Lush]

Oooh! that's not a good look at all. I'd rather freeze than look like that.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

My son has one of those and he looks quite sane.

[Brendan]

Whenever you see someone wearing one in a movie they are inevitably insane.

?or a lumberjack

Re: Escaped mental patients.

a few on the forum, methinks, Brendan?

[Brendan]

[Jah Lush]

The game's up Brendan. You've been rumbled.

But invariably they have very warm brains!

[shaman]

Perhaps the overheating of the brain causes some sort of chemical inbalance (like heatstroke) leading to bazaar behaviour such has purchasing unneeded gadgets etc :))

I bet the guy in the car in that picture is a Gooner!

I know where you are coming from Chav - unfortunately because no one on Blue Peter ever wore one when these people were growing up they probably find them quite threatening.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

The hat version of the hoodie?

[Brendan]

They're out again:

I thought they all gathered in the Fox Under the Hill in Camberwell.

[Jah Lush]

I only ever take my hat off when I go outdoors.

Oi, I was there last night! And yes, it is.

Today I'm wearing lady's stockings over my head, it's a perfect match for my sawn-off!

Wore my furry Russian Ushanka hat on Tuesday at the footy. I may wear it tomorrow depending on how cold it is in the afternoon.
