So, this is among the latest Weekly Hat posts ever, but in my slight defence, I got back from holiday last night and have spent most of today (with a few quite lengthy breaks) writing the damn thing. You’ll be happy to hear that I should be available to do this on time for the next few weeks. Score. And I was also glad to see that the automated postings I set up for last week’s Weekly Hat and Behatted comics actually worked.

Thank you all for being about. Now, as I’m tired and have still more Behatted tasks to do before I can lie down, on with the contents…

• Private eduction buys a photocopier: Apparently education costs money. But it could cost more!
• And then I went to Ireland…: A slightly bloggy holiday-based interlude.
• Media and stuff: New TV! New Aqua! New danger!
• Behatted Photo Of The Week: Amazed I haven’t done this one before, really.

Good morning once again.

This is the twenty-fifth Weekly Hat, which is another nice round number. Not that I’m planning anything to mark it. Business as usual, pretty much. Well, there is the triumphant return of the sports section, if you like that sort of thing.

Oh, I should probably mention the recent engagement of long-time friends-of-Behatted Ali (of Aliventures fame) and Paul (not really of much fame, but has a Twitter account). Congratulations, folks. Just so there’s some sense of occasion to my 25th.

And now, contents…

• Europe Taken Over By Strangers: In which I decide that if these complete randoms can rise to EU power, so too can I.
• And Now Sports: Football and Formula One both aroused my interest in the same week.
• Media And Stuff: Probably a bit too much Doctor Who-related material here. Sorry.
• Behatted Photo Of The Week: This week, a rare public service!
