My custom colour made to order hat just arrived today. It's gorgeous, very well made and very professionally presented; my wife will be thrilled with it.
And if you get one you're supporting a small business and a longstanding UKFFer. So get on it!
Thank you so much! Iāve had some really nice feedback about your colour choices too so I might have to make a couple more. Iām really glad youāre pleased. Iāve also had that pom-pom for a while but not found the right hat for it to go on so this was a perfect match.
Posting for reference:

I had a slight obsession with Prisoner when I was younger. I might still be on some sort of register after writing to Jimāll Fix It about combining my two passions at the time - Prisoner and Jason Donovan but thatās another story.
Back last year sometime they had a āPrisoner Specialā on Neighbours as Colette Mann (Doreen) and Jackie Woodburne (Julie) areĀ regulars. They had an appearance by Val Lehman (Bea) and had a lot of in-joke lines like someone said, āOh yeah Paul, he used to give me roses,ā and such like. A lot of the cast still pop up in Neighbours from time to time too like Janet Andrewartha (Reb) whoās Lynn ScullyĀ and Lesley Baker (Monica) who plays Toadieās mum. I love that Aussie actors just do the circuit of soaps.
Just found this - the gang back together!

Absolutely, although itās a Christmas present for Mrs Scratch so Iāll have to wait until then.
I sent some pics to my mate who doesnāt post here and he wondered if you could make him a plain black one. Is that something youād do?
He messaged me so Iāve relied already. Thanks for the promo!

My hat arrived today from @MonkeeĀ and itās amazing! Extra points for the splendid presentation and speedy delivery!Ā
Thank you so much! Iām glad it arrived safe and sound. Iād love to see photos of it being worn if you have 2 mins at some point and wouldnāt mind.

@Monkee Do you do toddler sized hats?Ā
I do, yes. All of the hats I make can be done in various sizes and colours.

Great stuff @Monkeealthough that first one makes me want to vomit! Will send you a message about one.

Over the last few months Iāve been making stuff to keep me busy andĀ boost my non-existent income since being made redundant.
So I thought Iād make a thread to pimp out some hats Iāve made recently to see if anyone might fancy buying one as a Christmas present. I do custom orders so feel free to ask about colours and sizes. Examples below or go to www.instagram.com/loopsupsideyourhead
Has anyone elseĀ taken up making stuff in the last few months?

This would have been better last week, but TIL that the body of the Yorkshire Rippers 6th victim, Jean Jordan was discovered by future Les Battersby actor Bruce Jones.
I saw/read an interview with him a few years ago where he said heās still traumatised by finding the body and that he was a suspect for the murder afterwards. Itās one of the reasons he became an alcoholic.

@Kaz HayashiĀ I bought mine a few years ago now but I did a bit of research into what was good for design at the time. I went for an Acer with these specs and never had any problems:Ā
Iām not really techy but this was recommended online for design and it was a reasonable price at Curryās PC World. Not sure what todayās equivalent would be.

If youāre specifically talking Christmas though, Iād like to throw in Walnut Whips and Ferrero Rocher. Those to me are pure Christmas. And maybe a chocolate-covered Brazil nut or two as well.

I know it's not for everyone but I bloody love mint chocolate!Ā
I'm not actually a coffee drinker so its surprising that I like coffee chocolate, have you ever had chocolate covered coffee beans? They are really good!
I love chocolate covered coffee beans! Iām partial to anything thatās got coffee flavouring in it. And mint chocolate is right up there too. I used to love Ben & Jerryās Mint Chocolate Chunk but you can only get it from their kiosks rather than in tubs. I reckon my freezer would be full of it if they sold that in Tesco!
HavingĀ said that, I literally just saw that theyāve got Minter Wonderland in shops now so Iām going to have to get a tub ASAP.

A friend in Australia sent me Cherry Ripes before and they're outstanding. They're like a bar of Raspberry Ruffles (but Cherry flavour obviously)
I love Raspberry Ripples but I donāt like cherries so I never had a Cherry Ripe in Australia. My friend practically lived on them for about 8 months though.

@gmoneyhit the nail on the head for me - more coffee flavours! Iām not a huge chocolate fan (I only got rid of a half emptyĀ box of Quality Street from Christmas recently) but if I do want some itās usually mint or coffee if I can get it.
My mum runsĀ a hospital shop and had to clearĀ out stock in July when she thought it was reopening. I got a full box of dark chocolate Bounty as itās one of my favourites. Iāve probably eaten two bars since then.

I now have The Brady Bunch theme stuck in my head after seeing those screenshots.

Iām so sorry for what youāre going through, @Frankie Crisp, and to your mateās family obviously. Your posts have really cut me up and I donāt even want to imagine what you/they are going through.
I donāt want to take anything away fromĀ your pain but this situation is exactly what Iām petrified of - my parents are that same age, my dad had underlying health problems and he would go to pieces if anything happened to my mum.
I had to leave a WhatsApp group recently because I was sick to death of seeing these people (āfriendsā) hanging out in each otherās homes and having parties, going to pubs and restaurants, going on physical dates (and booking into hotel rooms) evening sharing an AirBnB together a couple of weeks ago. It enrages me that they just donāt give a crap about anyone else. Talked about this a lot yesterday in therapy too because being in the WhatsApp group and seeing all this going on has really knocked me the last couple of weeks. Theyāre all a waste of space.

Twitterās statement about Glinner is quite hypocritical considering a lot of other verified accounts out there that people are calling forĀ to be suspended:
āTwitter defines platform manipulation as āusing Twitter to engage in bulk, aggressive, or deceptive activity that misleads others and/or disrupts their experienceā.ā
Katie Hopkins is gone, now Glinner. Letās hope theyāre finally growing a spine.

Such a shame that is being rethemed, racism never once came into my mind when riding this.
Have you ever seen the film? Do you know the story behind the theming?
I think itās a great idea. Itās never stood out as particularly Disney to me and,Ā while the ride itself is a classic, itās outdated and needed a spruce up. In all the times Iāve been to Disney I think I rode it once when I was little and once as an adult. Itās boring. It doesnāt even have that āitās so rubbish itās greatā vibe that other rides like Pirates of the Caribbean has.
Ā I think reimagining it as Princess and the Frog is a great idea.
