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.

It’s still just about the morning, so it must be about time I published the Weekly Hat for the week. Luckily, since I spend a lot of time on Twitter, it’s been fairly easy to find stories this week, as a frankly alarming proportion of the news seems to be happening… on Twitter. Weird!

So, yeah, those of you who also use Twitter a lot may be able to tell what I’ll be on about today. Here’s the contents anyway…

• Twitter – The Left Wing Daily Mail?: Reactionary, furious, determined to slander opposing views… am I describing the Daily Mail or Twitter here?
• Falcon The Balloon Boy Doesn’t Fly Away: The most worthless news story of the week, given yet more undeserved air time!
• Media and stuff: TV TV TV
• Behatted Photo Of The Week: Worthless news story reappears for more worthlessness.
