Still a man of many hats I see @Pravikun!
That looks slightly terrifying @Agemegos… I like it!
Nice Pipe @RogerBW
@Lordof1 you hold that drill like a man on a mission…
@Griffster77 is that a lockdown beard, or are you always so wonderfully hirsute?
@tomm_archer did the 'tache strain your tea or was it just decorative?
@pillbox! Nice do!
@yashima very blue sky indeed!
@IssiNoho77 nice … no too easy.
@Captbnut nice specs - no really, I hate mine.

Suppose I’d better put one… erm…

Here’s me with the toy my Further Maths students bought me. I was very happy, despite appearances.

It’s one of my office hats. It’s a WW2 Royal Canadian Regiment peaked cap. We have tons of stuff like that hanging around the office, but I have a giant melon-head, so if I find something neat that fits, I usually purloin it (at least temporarily) before it gets put up for sale. :wink:

@MrJackdaw thanks. They were free from our Oakley rep. If you’re near South Wales I can hook you up when lockdown is over.

I bought one of those as a present to myself when I had my eyes lasered.

The ol’ Optivisor is indispensable to me. Because I’m old now. :smirk:

Its a beard that started almost 6 years ago (fucking hell, has it been that long?) when my first child was born and I didn’t shave for weeks. My wife said she liked it and there you go!

Here’s my contribution, which started off as an attempt to look a bit confused and ended up (after a bit of filtering) looking like I’d stuck on full-on Cookie Monster googly-eyes.

@MrJackdaw @boydesian and others… sharing this partly in case the cultural reference is lost on anybody and partly because I now have the bloody tune stuck in my head so I see no reason why everybody else shouldn’t have it stuck in theirs too.

It’s not really hat season around here, but if it’s hats we’re wearing, let’s wear some hats!

Hahahaha, do not get me started on hats. There’s a reason my title is Cool Hats.
