h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The best place for a Panama hat is in the middle of the road. Which is where our school uniform Panama hats spent most of their time, IIRC.

I'm always in either my black bowler or black leather trilby... Mainly the trilby, it has to be said... Hat-wearing shoudl be compulsory Still designing my new leather hat, with concealed emergency cheese-storage compartment...

I will probably also wear a T-shirt and blue jeans so you should be able to recognize me anyway

I'll be in black leather boots, a long black leather jacekt.... and maybe* a black leather corset... hmm... and the black leather trilby.... actually... probably will saves having to worry about actual* colour coordination or anything

I doubt you could walk past me unnoticed, 2legs

We've met

I might... be in disguise though

Ha! Feel free to try!

I have been known to sport a flat-cap of late, although it doesn't fit very well so if I'm on my bike I have to wear it backwards or take my life in my own hands. I have forgotten a couple of times and it almost ended in disaster when my hat slipped over my eyes.

*Imagines several differnt 'outfits' he could wear, which might be sufficient to confuse... if not perplex....*

"I have been known to sport a flat-cap of late" Been out drinking in the Northern Quarter?

I might, but there's only so many mortgages I can afford to take out. Give me a Wetherspoons with 6 ale taps, each under £2.50 a pint any day of the week.
Although, having said that, I was in Port Street Beer House about 3 weeks ago, but that was for someone's birthday.

I used to be in there a lot, now it's most Friday afternoons. I find if I drink thirds of the stronger beers, I tend to drink less and pay less.

re 26):

Oh, you may very well both confuse and perplex me, 2legs.

In fact I can't see how it could be prevented

But I WILL recognize you. You can take that to the bank

Oy, that should be "re 269"

I once got stuck in my flat cap after I'd had too much to drink.

Or was it cat flap? Damned if I can remember.

*quite seriously contemplating what devilness of 'dressing up' and 'makeup' he could try for ultimate perplexing consequences'
I'm so gonna have to wear this ... rahter steampunk-esk leather corset if I win the auction Well.. maybe... it might even be like a summers day when the meet is on... ooo... an excuess to wear my purple dress

Actually - there's an idea

Think I'll go look for a Spanish corset of Spanish leather

Pirate in a corset! (wasn't that a Smith's song?)

Well there is the cross dressing pirate in Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Robert de Niro plays him in the film adaption

"I used to be in there a lot, now it's most Friday afternoons."

I've not been in yet this year. In fact, only place in Manchester I've had a pint in 2014 is The English Lounge.

Except for one night in Leigh for the rugby, I've barely made it out of Salford for ages.
