He wears it indoors and he isn't going to get a cold head.

And I'm middle-aged.

And it's just an irritatingly stupid hat.

Who the !!!! is Gregory Porter

He has scarring apparently and wears the hat/balaclava to cover it.

Fair enough

Gregory Porter.

He could wear a wig. Or if he has to wear a hat, a less stupid one.

He's a fine singer though.

If this were back in the days of radio, no one would even have known what he was wearing.

I like your use of the obscure legal term, 'estop'.

It means, of course, to prevent an action by means of the principle of 'estoppel', an impediment or bar to a right of action arising from a man's own act, or where he is forbidden by law to speak against his own deed.

So, all you need is 1. to find prima facie evidence that the accused, sorry, Mr Porter, had in the past declared that he would not wear a silly hat, and 2. a good lawyer.

I didn't think there were any good lawyers. Would a bad lawyer do?

Sadly the use of 'estop' was a typo caused by the angry hammering out of the title. But a fortunate one. I'm now scouring the internet for evidence that he has declared his opposition to stupid hats.

And an adequate but ancient lawyer.

PP.

It's a great law - it would stop all these do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do hypocrites.

They'll be rewriting that one for the next thousand years, I'm sure.

The list will get longer?
