Skirts or jumpsuits?

Oh, me too. I started getting sick of sim during Jaka's Story and stopped reading during "Melmoth." The first three "phone books" were fantastic though.

I slogged on to the end, but he'd really lost it by then. Totally hatstand.

Er, but we're digressing, so I'll shut up.

Right you are.

Except for Hatstand. That's one that I've never heard this side of the pond. I see that it means crazy - but what's the derivation? Curious.

Well, that link didn't really explain anything about the phrase, it was just about a cartoon character that the phrase was used to describe... so I looked further, and found this:

1. Hat Stand

1)
- Used to describe ones state of mind.
- Can be said both in a positive or negative manner.
- One who is off-balance; so to speak.

2)
- Used to describe someone or something that is useless or purposeless.

3)
- In some cases it can be used to describe a person who is useless and at the sametime; mad.

**Originated in the Fylde area of Lancashire, England. Some believe Mr. M. Walolski first used it after leaving a nightclub in Blackpool.
1)
- After a large consumption of alcohol and narcotics; one could describe themselves as being "Hat Stand" or "A Hat Stand".
- Legend has it that Mr. M. Walolski, whilst falling out of a nightclub door said, " For ⌧s sake, I'm a ⌧ing Hat Stand!" Interesting as he had no hat and couldn't stand.
- "Watch out for him; he's a ⌧ing Hat Stand! He'll kick-off if you just look at his beer"


2. Hat Stand

Completely and utterly insane beyond any form of possible understanding.
Brian is off his medication I think. I phoned him today and he was completely HAT STAND!
