SILLY HAT PARTY

And I’ve been meaning to do a brief write-up of the ‘Silly-Hat Party’ I hosted in the middle of November. As I said to those that turned up, the ‘party’ was more like an ‘exclusive get-together’ because of the numbers, but we’d definitely have a lot of fun.

And that we did. Mark R turned up in his white van, sporting a tacky Christmas tree alien hat, Simon S wore his sombrero, Nick M had a Santa hat that swung from side to side, Michelle also had a Christmas tree hat, but made it look good, Sarah had a flashing Santa hat, Tony L wore a lightshade, Alex M a jesters hat and I rotated between fez, mini-sombrero and crinkly blue party-hat.

However, Nick, Simon and I did all go into town wearing the Guinness hats that we bought in Dublin a few weeks beforehand. This is where the carnage began. No sooner had we arrived, we were having our photo taken with a random man wearing a large red afro wig and an ‘Enjoy Cocaine’ t-shirt, playing the bongos in the centre of Watford high street.

Before the evening was out, Alex and I had been showered with glass at the bar, I had been threatened by someone wanting to ‘put two holes in my head’ (surely just one would be enough?) and Mark had spent the entire evening trying to pull, forgetting that he had a 99p Christmas tree alien sitting on his head.

He wasn’t best pleased when we decided enough was enough and further drinks down on the farm were in order, protesting about opportunities of ‘rooting them’, and they’d refused because the farm was ‘too isolated’. He made up for it though by starting a popcorn fight and ended up with the bowl slung at him. Marvellous.

And that was the silly hat party. Photos to follow…..
