    Hi,
    As per title - want to get a set but can only find ones with one center light on the net.

    Maybe Orbital use a specific brand?

    Thanks.

    Try Millets? or wear two.

    I'll have a look on Millets - don't think two would look right. It's for a fancy dress so I want the look rather than the practicality aspect.

    A lot of stuff at fancy dresses isn't too well thought out!

    The problem you will have too is that, unless it's an 'everyone must come as Orbital' fancy dress, noone apart from fans of their music will have a clue whether you're a posh miner or a neurosurgeon...

    Yeah true - It was suggested to me that alot wouldn't recognise who I was but does that really matter?

    I was thinking of getting a orbital t-shirt to give people a clue - if they still don't get it well..... having said that I'm still undecided but I like the orbital idea.

    Don't get a T-Shirt, thats the mistake batman, superman and most other superheros made. Put on a symbol and you suddenly loose all mysteriousness.

    Become paunchy, middle aged and shave your head...might help!

    You could go as 25% of Kraftwerk...though everyone might think you're Gary Numan.

    Or 50% of Altern8.

    Altern8 is abit too mental - don't want people thinking I'm a die hard slipnot fan or anything.

    Kraftwerk - eh.....nah.

    Orbital - Yeah cool enuf. I'm not really a big Orbital fan per say at all but it's all I can think of. Don't want to do the cliche stuff at all.

    deadmau5 - Too popular now - you'd have idiots coming up to you talking about techno and dance in general that haven't a clue.

    Keith from the Prodigy - Prodigy were never really my thing though I like some of their tracks. Dunno about this one. Might be abit too popular aswell.

    I have a very large sphere in my room right now, you'll be able to guess what for.


    I'll get my coat...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,723 ✭✭✭empirix


    oh fancy dress - if you could go as Kraftwerk you would be by far the coolest person there but i imagine those fluorescent suits they wear cost a packet!

    Go as Goldie; a stussy t-shirt, loads of gold jewellery, get a gum shield and spray it gold, drink a whole bottle of vodka straight and ride the host's mrs in the living room while everyone watches; you could also bring a cd of classical music


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,401 ✭✭✭jtsuited


    Go as FSOL. Then say you're not going but are willing to say hello by isdn line. Then just don't bother doing anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 743 ✭✭✭absolutegroove


    I know I have a pair of them somewhere :confused:

    Gone to check..........

    Found them in in a box in the attic. Where did I get them again............I think it was when I worked in an electronics company - Jesus that's about 14 years ago.

    It was cool when we worked nightshifts and there was no managers around - we'd turn of all the main lights and just use the Head Torches (awesome sight to see 40 of these in the dark working away, although the security did get called in alot :D).

    And no we were not all Orbital fans (I was though).

    That brought back some memories.

    That is all.

    Working in the dark like that sounds mad - how you got 40 people to agree to do it is even madder.

    What's the brand name?

    You know I was actually very surprised recently - there was a program on about him - some reality thing.

    The guy is a real romantic - nothing like the image. Maybe he's changed? Dunno much else about him.

    Just go as a serial killer.

    We look pretty much the same as usual people, so it's an easy costume.
