Oh, that.

Yeah, It's what I've always called them for some reason, and it's a hard habit to shake. Besides, it's pointless my calling my cellphone a mobnile phone as it always lived at home, or under seat of motorbike.

Thanks...

The only hat shop I know has almost entirely womens hats, although I found a rather nice black trilby there. Otherwise, it's been vintage shops and they have very variable stock...

A quick google searcg for "Hat Shop Nottingham" only turns up ones in Derbyshire or Lincolnshire MR SAD HATLESS FACE.

Tailors sometimes sell hats.

Also - Marks and Spencer.

I bought my super hat from The Hat Company in Chester. They only have sub standard versions in there now, though.

I had a trilby at least 11 years ago, before Doherty had even heard of a crack-pipe. And I'll be wearing hats many years hence, when the indie trendboys have stopped.

I often travel naked, and so am well pleased when I can don fresh socks, a tie and a hat when leaving Birmingham New Street.

Ah well, another day with not a lot at all to do here at work. I'm really rather down about this now, and want to go home.

I bought my first hat at http://www.lockhatters.co.uk/. Cost me seventy quid, which I don't think is unreasonable for a good quality hat. They don't seem to do it any more and the nearest one is £125. Ouch.

My current one was bought in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, but I can't remember the name of the shop. Long way to go just for a hat, though.

Stu's removed me from his friends list on Xbox Live.

The Good : I'm now top on more leaderboards.
The Bad : It made me sad that he did that.

Clearly, if you can't bring yourself to pay At Least £2 a month, then you're no decent competition and not worth even acknowledging the existence of any further. There may be a more reasonable reason, but it just seems like unnecessary silliness to me.

I wonder, if you had a mug at his house with your name on it, do you think that he'd also be chucking it in the bin right about now? If you had a real-life argument. "Stu, where's my cup?" "Shouldn't have giggled whilst I was trying to play Portal. And don't sit there, that's the Good Chair."

I'd laugh if he actually had a corner unit sofa, and is now in the process of having to find a new, more linear setup, after having thrown out the original in a rage.

Today was the first day of my "two days a week" job in Wrexham, 33 miles away from my home.

I've got to go again tomorrow.

My car's broken.

The RAC had to bring me home.

Notice how your fortunes have changed since you got that hideous avatar. Change it to something that is not hideously scary and I will send pixies to fix your car, and swap it for a new one with shiny windows.

Never did find out how that ended. And I never did remember the name of the Third Game that he said he couldn't see (other than Dead Rising and Portal).

Well I'd say it was Space Giraffe, but that's only because I don't believe anybody can really see Space Giraffe, if they're honest about it. And anyone who insists that they can is just another one on my Liar List.

I appear to have missed the thread you guys are referencing, but are you saying Stu had problems with Portal's visuals somehow? I'm not sure quite how'd you manage such a feat.

I like the bit:

"But don't talk back to Darth Vader, he'll getcha!"

I can just imagine an imperial officer warning arrogant guy before that briefing. In that voice.
