I started, as it often does, with a video. In this case, Doctor Who composer Murray Gold playing his "I am The Doctor" theme on the piano.
As usual, I am less impressed with the playing than I am with your man's choice of headwear. And to paraphrase the Doctor himself: "I wear a red bobble hat now. Red bobble hats are cool"
Alas, the internet's Mr Andrew Fanton says: "Booble hats aren't cool, they're WARM and SNUGGLY."
I concur. Bobble hats are EXCELLENT. However, BOOBLE hats are even better. Not only are they warm and snuggly, they are also incredibly sexy.
And, at once, others jump on the Booble Hat bandwagon, imploring me to go on Dragon's Den and pitch the idea of the Headwear that's going to sweep the nation.
They are to be the new Ugg Boots. I shall not rest until Kate Moss wears a Booble Hat.
Alas, I don't think I shall ever wear one.
I fear I may end up looking a tit.

Boobles for women, Moobles for men?
I’m very glad the good Ducktor has brought up the subject of bobble hats. But, first as a slave to truth I must point out the the gent in the red hat is not wearing a bobble hat because it doesn’t have a bobble on it. I believe (although I am not an expert) that the hat on the video is a beanie hat.
My problem with hats of this nature is that they ride up ones head and one then looks like a gnome, not a good look as it undermines any pretence of gravitas . Only by constant vigilance can one avoid this dreadful fashion faux pas this involves the regular pulling down on the said hat. There have been some failed attempts to prevent the gnome look by the introduction of Tibetan/Sherpa/Peruvian style hats which have ear flaps and a dangly cord thing that is supposed to secure the hat, but most sensible people of taste take the view that everyone who wears them looks like a dickhead (not native Tibetans/Sherpa's/Peruvians of course)
He's wearing a thick woolly hat that comes down over his ears. INDOORS. That's so UNcool it's heading towards stupid (like those aptly-named UGG boots, which are big slippers that dumb people wear outdoors). WRONG!
My Booble hat finally arrived after days of anxiously watching for the mailman. Alas, much like my online dating profile...the cup size was greatly exaggerated. Now I look like I have weird growths coming out of my ears when I wear it...so not cool.
