(Intonation of a sincere friend) Don't you wish you could go back in time to when men wore more hats? Hats nowadays are so expensive and it's hard to decide what hat to buy. Hat Trick has the solution. For a mere €35 a month, we send you a mystery hat box, where you get four random hats, wrapped carefully in reams of single-use plastic. You no longer have to select a hat, as we will do that for you. And if someone ridicules you for your hat, you can blame the over-priced, utterly valueless hat service you are subscribed to. Best of all, we have cut out the middle man, allowing us to sell at discount prices. Our gig-economy delivery people have no union representation or toilet breaks, so we can guarantee you the speediest of deliveries. So what are you waiting for? Tip your hat to the new headwear revolution, and get a-hat of the rest.   

My name is Nigel Fairflower and I approve of this message.


Hi guys! 

A very warm welcome to The Fair Observations. If this is your first time here, I'd like to personally thank you for choosing to spend your precious time checking us out. We don't take anyone's time for granted, and we hope you enjoy your read here today. At The Fair Observations, we aim to please our readership with some of the most sarcastic, iconoclastic, and controversial content on the internet. We would also like to thank you if you are a regular reader. Thank you so much for your time. It's your support that allows us to continue producing satirical, tongue-in-cheek articles. Without you, we could not write articles at the frequency necessary to stay afloat on the ever-shifting waves of the Google search algorithms. Your readership allows us to compete in the cut-throat, super-saturated market of blogs, Youtube videos, and podcasts — a virtual survival of the fittest borne out in the harsh environment of topics and trends. 

If you like the blog and want to lend a hand, please share it on the social media platform of your choice. Add it to your RSS feed or subscribe to us by email. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook. Recommend it to your friends and family. Start a gofundme campaign for the blog.  Write to your local representative and ask them to consider adding the archive of this blog as a set text on the secondary school curriculum. Print out a few articles and distribute them on the streets with the fervour of a religious zealot. Convert the entire blog into nice pdf version, get it professionally printed, and give it as a late Christmas present. Buy the merchandise egg cups, paper straws, collectable dolls, ill-fitting t-shirts, phone covers, mattresses, diaries, stress balls, and mugs. Immolate yourself in the town square to attract a ton of social media attention, which your suicide video can direct towards the blog. 

And now let's get on with the article…

Bonus material includes AMA interviews with Nigel Fairflower and access to a vlog series, where Nigel talks about the minutiae of every single facet of his life, including what time he gets up, his novelty diet, how he spends every minute of his day, what brands he likes and dislikes, his approach to work and creativity, his choice in coffee, and his tips on meditation, investments, journaling, and exercise. He also divulges his views on all the important matters of the day, including FIRE, polyamory, and travel. For no more than 200 euros per year, paid subscribers are privy to the content of frantically cobbled together articles from a tired and jaded creator under the delusion that he has escaped the oppression of a rat race working life.
