Our year Down-Under

How to look like a twat!

It's easy. All you have to do is get one of these Indiana Jones style chapeaus and then put it on your head like illustrated. Man I look like the coolest dickhead ever to walk the planet and I'm sure you'll all agree.

In all seriousness when the sun is blazing here you have to wear something on your noggin and this fits the bill. I bought it out at Jervis Bay at a crappy local market and can't say that I regret it. I've been looking at these for months but the weather has been so bad that I figured I'd never have the opportunity to wear one so never invested but during the weekend away with the folks the sun was out in force and I thought "Hey I've not bought anything Australian the whole time I've been here except for some Roo steaks so why not!"

Actually it made a massive difference as the brim protects your face and neck and the top of your shoulders from the sun in a way my baseball cap never could (that last bit makes me feel like I'm having an affair with this sleek leather number). However, the real selling point was when the guy at the stall said, "You're from Scotland aren't you? Well this hat's water-proof!" Awesome. And to think that the only down side is that I have to put up with looking like a total tool and an Australian to boot (it's unfortunate that it doesn't make me look like Indiana Jones too). Even Dad looks better in it that I do! Don't he look purty?

Well so what? I feel cooler than the Man From Delmonte ever did and I don't even have to wear a linen suit.
