    Sorry to ask this.

    The oh is having a fancy dress Halloween party to coincide with the birthday and its somethimg i hate.

    Im 16.5st so superhero is out. Nobody wants to see a chubby superman, thor or heman. Skeletor and predator were 2 i liked but again the chub aspect kinda negates stealthy amd skellingtony!

    Ffs please please please could you give me a few ideas. Id like something retro, funky or cool and not just the norm of elvis brealing bad or game of thrones. This is a big deal apparantly and if i dont male an effort, i was told to go as the invisible man and pack my bags. The inlaws are also horrendous sneering c-units so the likes of wheres wally or something would leave me open for abuse that i would really rather not let myself in for.

    I poxy hate dress up. Stupid feckin thing. Ive budgeted about 100 to 150 quid. Your help wiuld be much appreciated.

    Sellotape a few bin bags together and hey presto, you have a retro 80s style witches costume!

    One of the larger WWE/WWF wrestlers maybe? There's loads out there.

    Slippers, dressing gown, mug, rolled up newspaper and messy hair or one of those cartooney 'bed hats' and maybe a rolled up newspaper if you want to go mad (just use elastic bands to keep it together).

    I threw it together on a whim years back when I decided to head out last minute. Goes down really, really well with pretty much everyone for whatever reason, is really comfy and warm if the dressing gown is good (you can always just untie it if it's a crowded pub, house, nightclub, etc) and is stupidly easy to put together.

    Just be sure to wear shorts and a t-shirt underneath! :pac:

    Good idea...and you then have your budgeted money to spend on the most important thing you'll need when surrounded by in-laws.

    The Silent Monk

    First say you can't attend.

    Monk outfit, death mask, lantern with candle.

    Stand still with lantern moving slowly side to side. Then move a small bit and repeat.

    Say nothing.

    Scares the sh1te out of people especially if they don't know its you.

    Cover yourself in cotton wool and go as a cloud with an arrow pointing to your face saying upload drink here.

    Because of your username, I was going to suggest Cardinal Richelieu but they probably wouldn't get it.

    Before you all have a go at me, this is lighthearted.

    Put yourself into a burka with a letterbox on your face covering. I am sure it is allowed even in this oh so PC country. Well it is gender neutral!

    How about.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,272 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    You'll need a friend.

    Have your friend strap a bowl of custard around his waist and have his knob dipped in the custard.

    You can take a pear, cut a hole in it and fill is with jizz

    If anyone asks, just say that you've both dressed as emotions
    Say "well my friend is fuc.king disgusted and I've just come in despair"
