Why can't you wear your wooly hat indoors?

*carefully removes her hat wihtout anyone noticing*
Because then the red woolly hat would look foolish...
*grins*
No, the whole point of the hat is to stop my hair going insane in the wind but it's not windy indoors so it kind of defys the point... unless I open the windows but then my cats would get scared by the firework noises so that's probably a bad plan

Last time I spent fireworks night at home we had lots of rockets that went bang... so we left our labrador in the house. But she complained about being left alone in the house, so we took her out with us, and she enjoyed it just as much as we did ... it was quite funny watching her follow the rockets up with her eyes wide open and her tail wagging... you could tell she wanted to chase them!

I don't think all animals are that keen though

Hmm.... My dog (when she was alive) used to like fireworks.... she always used to try running after them and barking at them ... But my rabbits don't really seem to like them...

We've had an amazing display in the local area today and yesterday.... Which was fun..
I was thinking of getting one of my old solid fuel rocket engines... and strapping something explosive to it and seeing how highg it could go..... which could well have been about 500feet..... but I didn't ..... oh well

Wooly hat's are great! But you can only justify them on bonfire night

And at midnight singing things at Christmas.

I've got a woolly hat which I really like and it suits me... trouble is, people look at me rather oddly when I wear it, or avoid me totally, or try to arrest me.

Hmm. I can see that might be a problem. Have you tried explaining to them that it's just a hat and that you're a nice, sane person really?

Quite interesting when seen through a stained glass window, too. David wasn't preaching, but a nearby display coincided nicely with "Great is the darkness that covers the Earth". Another hymn had a line about "when the river washes round my feet" or something, which may be quite soon, all things considered.

Sorry about the rather bizarre grammar in my last post.

*didn't notice the bad grammar anyway*
I'm beginning to think that all woolly hats just attract strange looks and that might be the purpose of them as we wore ours whilst paddling in Skegness and eating icecream and we got some funny looks...

I replied to an old post, just then, too. Whoops.

To be fair, you were probably just getting funny looks for paddling in Skeggy. It's so bracing.

*grins*
No it was definitely the hat

I don't have a woolly hat, but I have had complaints about my Panama. I don't see what's wrong with it, after all people get away with baseball caps etc.

Come to think of it people may look at me in my hat a little oddly because it's a commando balaclava - you know, one of the ones with three holes

I like it anyway. It keeps me nice and warm, including my nose, and doesn't keep pulling the bottom bit over my mouth. Perfect.

Yes, that's probably why it's attracting odd looks.

Um... if I may inject... thanks all for the flag-searching info. I did in fact search most of the GuideML image archive before asking, and didn't find anything suitable under any of the relevant-ish categories.

Mr. President, might I then impose upon you to create the embassy's flag? Pretty please?

OK then, I'll do it when I have a spare moment.

Doesn't the balaclava make you look somewhat...perhaps overly scary?
My mate has a big cowboy hat which is quite cool but it is actually BIG.

* throws snowballs *

*catches snowballs and munches on them*
Y'know these would be better if the marshmallow wasn't quite so gooey...

*Agrees with Tink'* Yes... they are FAR to gooey..

*Thinks that Peregrin looks very impressive in his Balaclava and Baseball bat swung against his shoulder*

Couldn't you pretend to be some sort of sect?
