If I had talent, I'd be writing novels instead of blogs.

The Best of Angry Flat Cap: 2010
Because if sitcoms are allowed to do hastily cobbled together 'best of' episodes, then I'm allowed to do an end of year best of. That alright?
“Must have previous experience in lying/sales”
My good friend James Tite showed me one of the more interesting job recommendations he's had from the Job Centre's computers-- a telephone psychic:
A reply from Boots
You may recall that I recently sent the Customer Care Team at Boots a photo of my shredded up Boots Card, in protest against their well-documented tax avoidance strategies. Well, I received a reply...
The return of Trev and Wendy
Longtime readers of this blog (if such an entity exists) may remember some pieces I wrote about Trev and Wendy, some 'mediums' whose performance I went to see in a local cafe. It looks like my blogs haven't put them off coming again though, as their poster was recently put up again in that very same cafe.
A perception thing
You know those two faces that make the vase? How when you finally see the full picture it's very difficult to see what you originally saw? I have one of them. For years I was convinced that on the KFC logo, Colonel Sanders had a huge head and a stick man's body

My relationship with football is a complicated one. Well, it's not actually complicated at all. I just don't like it, end of.

Incleggtion
For tonight's dose of Flat Cap, I've made a video. I found a montage on the BBC website depicting the rise to power of liar extraordinaire, Nick Clegg. I then combined this with one of the more sinister tracks on Hans Zimmer's score for Inception. The result is terrifying/hilarious in equal measure.
Hotmail is lying to you
Having been a computer user for the last 13 years, I'm used to software overselling itself. But never have I seen such an overt and ridiculous example as the one I'm going to share with you today. This example comes from none other than Hotmail.
GUEST REVIEW: Monsters
December 12, 2010 by jorusgodmonger
Monsters is set in an alternative now, where 6 years ago we found extra-terrestrial life in our own solar system. We sent stuff into space to check it out. When said stuff returned, crash-landing in New Mexico, it had brought with it some aliens. That then set about killing us. Most of Mexico is declared […]
