Damnit! My parents and their fancy phones are away and my dads hardcore digital slr is getting fixed as it got sand in it from a desert in nambia (the non edible kind

).... Anyway I have a collection of MONGOLIAN hats... one has the big pointy bit on the top 'Ghengis' anyone

Mine. It's comfy and warm and nice and far too fucken expensive. Wish the Arai importer would sort their shit out.

Did you notice that the thumbnail seems to cancel the pixelation to the point that I could probably recognise you if I saw you in the street? In the thumbnail your face looks a little out of focus but that's all...

I have a very extensive selection of hats: woolly hats, a pig-skin hat, baseball hats, a pixie hat, a court jester's hat, etc etc. It started off with me wearing silly hats, but then when my hair started sinking into my pate and coming out elsewhere on my body, I started covering up more.

I'm thinking one day I'll have a "hat party", and anyone who comes without a hat will be given one of mine to wear.
Favourites? Depends on the occasion. The ones I wear the most are an Avonmore baseball hat, a Bikepoint hat, and two Kathmandu skullcap thingies (wore them both at once when I was up Cardrona in a blizzard).

Sorry - no pix, as I've no hats at work, except my thinking cap (not on at the moment).

This is my 'Aussie' hat. I definitely need it for my follically challenged head.

I reckon I should use it instead of a bike helmet. Cos one time in Chinese Gardens, walking along in the dark, I turned my head to check on Mrs Ixion (apparently following a respectful distance behind me, in reality hanging back so as to be able to dive off and buy things ), and failed to notice a large tree coming up, with large branch over path. Little Asian guy in front of me strolled merrily under it, I followed and 'wallop'. Hit VERY hard (I walk very fast). Knocked me clean off my feet. "Wot the hell just happened" Big lump of tree branch bark knocked off.

But no headache, no injury and the only damage to the topi was a stain on the fabric and a little dent that disappeared after a few days. I'm quite sure that without it I'd have had at least a fractured skull.

(Incidentally it's a sola topi, not a pith helmet. The latter only used in Africa and of quite different construction)

Yes. Apparently if you look at the full-sized picture and squint, it also has the same effect.
