    ooolllld gregg with his downstairs mix up........

    I once almost went out as a somali pirate (was a pirate nite), and really if your blacking up and going into a public place some random punter will not get the joke... the response might not be that funny... and was talked out of it.....

    the hitcher second....

    You could go as a stick of celery - or is that tasteless?

    Go as a morose clown, or is that a bit sad?

    funnily enough a load of my mates went as "cool runnings" a few years back an even made a toboggan, fully blacked up

    they got so much abuse still funny though

    Hollow out a baking potato, gaffer tape it over your tackle and go as the dictator of your choice.
    FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
    CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
    Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

    Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    Contador means counter or meter apparently.

    My mate went to a fancy dress party in klu klux klan attire. Only he had to get from Brighton to Edinburgh for the party and wore the costume all the way. Apparently he got as far as Victoria coach station, was getting some uncomfortable vibes off the locals when "through the eyehole slits of his hood" he saw two coppers coming straight for him. They banged him up overnight at Paddington Green, reckoned it was for his own safety. A good story anyhow...

    Last fancy dress I went to... as a Ghostbuster. Boiler suit and a vacuum cleaner is all you need.
