Hat People
So Ireland may have lost the Six Nations rugby final and given England its first Grand Slam for years in the bargain as well, but to comfort the team and country in their defeat, let it be known that there was a (very, very, very) small corner of central London this afternoon that was forever Ireland. Namely Alec and me (me being proudly Singaporean of course, well, most of the time anyway, but honorarily Irish for an afternoon), sitting at a table in ULU wearing silly (green) hats.
Alec’s hat was especially fun. It’s so big that when I wear it, it drops to rest on my shoulders, thereby hiding my whole head, which is useful if you’re supporting Ireland in a room full of English people.
