And… here is the hat I shall wear when I start *Live Tweeting* from court… it is a *Fascinator*...and while live tweeting from courts could be fascinating… I have some reservations about trial by twitter and, I suspect, there will be a lot of disappointment when the district judge or jury disagrees with the ravening twitterati… but there you are… I am going to ESCAPE soon…. from London and this will, hopefully, refresh my interest in law, life and the universe generally.
Below… I have another hat and plan to go into production soon, so that others may enjoy what I have……. could be BIG.. may even get some meedja mogul to buy my entire stock….. or, better, do a licensing arrangement for the future!
I fear your “tit for”, though immensely elegant is far too gross to be dubbed a fascinator. If you want to get ahead as far as that it’s a hat. Being a gentleman you would of course be removing it in court. however, I tend to agree that the court Tweeter should be suitably feathered – preferably something from a London pigeon
Filemot… it is a bit gross for Ascot… but for live tweeting…perfect… it has a built in aerial… so good reception… I may call it iHat…
I agree on the pigeon idea!
@Filemot: I’m not sure if it would be more inconvenient if he leaves it on his head (thereby poking out the eyes of those behind and to his left) or takes it off (whereupon anyone in the seats either side will be unable to tweet due to the obstruction).
It can only be a matter of time before the Supreme Court is obliged to lay down guidance for the wearing of hats whilst using social media to report court proceedings.
Personally, I favour a total ban on the wearing of head gear in court, although I suspect the barristers will object; most of them will not yet have paid down the wigs in their books, and I doubt HMRC will be sympathetic.
“ravening”? Is this some obscure legal term? 🙂 Please explain for the ignorameni here.
Remind me, what is the mental state normally applied to hatters?
It is indeed a fascinator. And very fetching it is too.
*nodnod*
So we do have a white rabbit to go with the mad hatter.
surely the rule of law is safe if we have hats such as these!
Ha… not an obscure legal term!
Ravening… Extremely hungry and hunting for prey.
