The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
JB - you need to lighten up a bit fella. Given the age of your brothers, they are likely to give you grief even if you dress exactly the same as them - they will look for any chink in the armour. Ask anyone with brothers on here, its what brothers do, its in thier chemistry. In effect, you are... -

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Surely your reply should have been " Well you're not there now are you. I'm from here and we do talk to strangers because we are civilised". Just make sure you are stood at least six feet away and he isn't between you and the door....if he does clock you, he's going to suffer more if he's a... -
FEDERATION IV PROBLEMS...
Cheers - I actually like the colour and stiffness - makes the hat seem much more formal, which is one of the reasons why I bought it in the first place. I will need to wear it in thought, its a tad too big, but only just. I am trying a teardrop bash this time. Its a nice hat! DEAN. -
FEDERATION IV PROBLEMS...
Well, my replacement Fed IV hat arrived today. A few first impressions (which are not meant to be taken as positive or negative, just observations): Got hit for tax on the hat at import despite HatsDirect's best efforts. Apparently VAT is applicable even on warranty issues (the Government... -

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Yep, thats about right for most Brits. I once stood in an airport with a 9 foot surfboard bag with 'surfboard' written in large letters along the side - a guy waiting next to me asks "whats in there?" I told him it was a collapsable plane and did he know which way the runway was.... DEAN. -

The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard
Ha! ha! - that sounds a seriously limited and pretentious conversation, but thinking about it, how could the 'wannabes' spoil it? ("I just find the whip so distracting and he won't shut up about that ****ing ark thing....") In the same vein, I wonder if the Clark Kent wannabes spoil... -

More than a shade of 'Little Miss Sunshine' there.... The worst thing is that they look completely at ease. -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
'full set'! - great expression. Couple of years ago, I grew a 'full set' of Punjab whiskers (think Flashman) while surfing in Morocco. Funny how people avoided me in the water after that.....no more agro'. DEAN. -

All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
I think its about the same as the US (I'm ex-Army). I'm not even sure about beards in the British Navy currently? (I suspect not to allow respirators etc). But the case in point is not the Military, or even the Merchant Navy. There is a long tradition of naval officers (military or civilian)... -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
P's & Q's I come from the country that formalised polite society. Some of this was undoubtably stiffling, but like most things it has relaxed over the years, for better or worse. England is the place where you apologise when someone treads on your foot. My mother-in-law (who comes from a... -
All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
Sorry to backtrack a little - whilst I'm in favour of company dress policies where suitable, the above clearly does not take into account an important part of naval history (there's a reason why Navy Officers can have facial hair, but not Army etc) - this clearly pre-dates, and has somewhat more... -
FEDERATION IV PROBLEMS...
PROBLEM SOLVED.... Well, I have received an almost immediate response from both Akubra and HatsDirect - they are replacing the hat, which I think is very generous. HatsDirect stated that they had not responded as I had not sent any pictures, although they acknowledged receiving three... -
FEDERATION IV PROBLEMS...
Copy of e-mail to HatsDirect, which I think is self-explanatory: Dear HatsDirect Further to my previous correspondence, I am disappointed that you have chosen to ignore my most recent polite e-mails regarding the problem with my Federation Hat (likewise Akubra has ignored my e-mail). As...
