    It was a lovely baker's hat/upside down ugg boot.

    It was absolutely ridiculous. Why didn't he take it off for the news piece in front of the camera. It looked liked a huge sock on his head or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,418 ✭✭✭loobylou


    Yep, I burst out laughing too, he looked like an Afghan refugee.

    And give him a break.
    It's cold out you know.

    Filthy habit. Couldn't stop myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,428 ✭✭✭sunnyside


    That was so strange, especially when his scarf and the rest of his clothes look perfectly nice and normal. Doesn't look like it would belong to the same person as the scarf. Maybe he just forgot to take it off. It's cold out there so he probably wasn't thinking much about his clothes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 744 ✭✭✭garbanzo


    I guess this is the consequence of the pay cuts they've all taken out in RTÉ. Poor man !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 82 ✭✭redorblack


    We all started laughing here too, the hat was more interesting than any more news about grit or the lack of. Papa smurf did come to mind, or the has Israeli military wear, ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,653 ✭✭✭✭amdublin


    Ha! It was the most ridiculous thing ever.

    He's some carazy cat wearing that hat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    oh dear

    :D

    bastard stole my chefs hat

    It looks to me like a chefs hat in need of viagra tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 812 ✭✭✭friendface



    Haha, that's priceless. Raging I missed it when he was on. He looks a bit like the swedish chef from the muppets. (http://toool.nl/blackbag/images/bump-chef.jpg)

    That's uncanny. I was literally just coming back on here to suggest that. Ah, that'll be unreal. Can't wait to see that picture photoshopped :D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 578 ✭✭✭Elba101


    This is absolutely hilarious! That's the first thing i said when i saw him :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,591 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    Had to do a double take myself. It was quite bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 561 ✭✭✭iguy


    It looks like a balaclava! Silly man.

    Was watching that too and burst out laughin mid sentence. It wouldn't have looked as bad if he'd pulled it down fully, it looked like it was just sitting on the very top of his head.

    :( I was hoping you'd use Mrs. Robinson. So much scope there! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,205 ✭✭✭✭hmmm


    When they told him they were sending him to report from a cold and snowy place, poor guy must have thought they were sending him to Waziristan in Pakistan. Gone all Pashtun on us.

    We had some laugh at that here as well. I knew well there'd be a thread on here about it too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 812 ✭✭✭friendface



    Why must every trivial item have it's own facebook group. These groups are being set up for everything now.

    Michelle Heaton falls on apprentice -> FB group
    JohnJoe on late late show -> FB group
    Paul Cunningham wears funny hat -> FB group

    /Goes to rant on Ranting and Raving forum :mad:

    'I picked it up in Helmand dont you know?'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 193 ✭✭wicklowgal


    Oh dear...:o

    But seriously, if he was that cold, surely he'd have pulled it onto his head properly rather than leaving it sitting there like a hobo hat! :confused:
