like I said, you're a man of your word larry. :) Tell the story how you lost the hat. It was damn funny when pak told us at the bar!

btw, great plan you had of everyone wearing the tassles. :wink:

As I said, I really didn't think Chip would call my bluff. Accordingly, I'd never considered the actual mechanics of doing it.

Result - I didn't realise that the hat - which was made of natural fibre - would be very slightly positively bouyant. Couldn't keep the damn thing on (not a good fit, either), Pakman helped me out by stuffing it under my backplate so as not to lose it.

When the promised photo shoot took place at about 30m, the hat was now waterlogged and floppy as well as still being bouyant. I crammed it on my head, assumed the DIR pose...

...and the bloody thing lifted off my head. I went to grab it, but exhaled as I did so, the bubbles went into the 'bowl' of the hat, the brow taco'd round like an inverted wing, and off my lovely rodeo hat shot, surfaceward, like an pink exocet missile, never to be seen again:11doh: .

I imagine it is now the prized possession of some sartorially-challenged islander.

I don't actually miss it:D

Thanks Ish, I was afraid you'd be a bit pissed-off with me by now:wink:
