[ProgDog]

Nah! I likes cats, trouble is they all run away from me cos of the bad rep us canines have with the moggies

[Philadelphia]

I have seen this Mouse jacket up close. 'Tis very cool!

[Mooncat]

Anyone sourced any reasonably priced gear for the DotR fancy dress??
Have found a few bits on t'bay around the £30-35 mark but not sure on the quality. I've tried to find some good old fashioned Army surplus stores too, but without much luck..................

I have gone into the loft today and got my old uniform out.

It's a tad on the tight side shall we say.

I guess I have the following options...

1) wear it and not be able to breathe or move
2) lose a stone in two weeks (yeah right)
3) go to Camden town and see if I can find anything 4ft 11 wide and 4ft 11 tall
4) just wear Frost* tshirt and jeans
5) adapt it - ie wear my cap (cos my head isn't bigger) and just the shirt with some black trousers

no 5 it is.

Sorted.  

[Pedro]

It seems that the 6' 5" x 6' 5" options are even more rare.
Option 4 looms...as do I?

[Ash]

you're not 6'5 wide anymore and I wouldn't say you loom...

[catherine]

I've got mine now - just waiting for it to come in the post... and then to perform a couple of custom modifications on it and I'll be sorted!  

[Fogeyspasm]

Pedro, get yourself a tin hat at least!

[catherine]

I can let him have a false moustache as well. There - sorted!  

[Brom]

Still have not got tickets - now there is a clash with family stuff. 50/50 at this point.

[Nellie]

I have my attire and the baking tray is prepared.  

[catherine]

Woolton Pie and Mock Goose?

[RacingHippo]

Oooh, Mock Goose pie.... mmmmmm....

Anyway.
I've gone from "just be there Friday" to "bugger I'm completely broke and can't afford to go at all" to "Ooh look! A ticket for the weekend and someone to share a room and car with!"

I'm really not sure if I can find appropriate attire in <2 weeks and zero (or negative) budget though...

[catherine]

I'll have a spare moustache...

[catherine]

Mein Kostüm ist heute angekommen. Jetzt bin ich bereit für die Verteidigung des Reiches. Achtung!
