I am a great fan of UC. But I noticed that one of the chaps in Fitzswilliam Team seems to have little bow in his hair. Is this a new trend for the young man about Town ?

I noticed that.
I don't always watch but this week I remembered to do an iPlayer.
Their captain was very intense: almost demented I thought.
The knowledge these people have is amazing tho.

Hope not. It looked ridiculous.

His clothing was very colourful too.
And he knew his modern music.

Itchy....from my recollection of the program. its about all he did know.

But why did he have the little bow stuck on his head ?

I realise that may be an unanswerable question, but can anybody have a guess ?

He's a pseudo hippy?

Lie-in King

Perhaps it was a gesture of love to his partner? Perhaps it was because he felt like wearing a bow to match his shirt because he was in a "colourful" mood? Perhaps it was a statement to an overbearing father that once said "A young man should always wear a bow-tie!" so "Ner-ner papa!"

*Perhaps* it matters not a jot.

Mikey - he might think you look daft in those red wellies you think are "for best" - you're still allowed that expression of your personality ;-)
