» Fancy Dress
Best or Worst... tbc
Purchased a set of welder's overalls from an army surplus store for a uni ball.
Dressed up with some other stuff from the surplus store; usual stuff cammo paint etc and bingo - military (of a type) costume.
7 years later, halloween fancy dress party, one £2 plastic mask and hey presto Hannibal Lecter.
Next, fancy dress party and/or halloween(I'm not invited out much) well it's going to end up as ghostbuster costume.
Or a welder.

» Impromptu Games You Play
Dangerous Driving
When on school trips many years ago, we used to play a game called "Good Reaction, Bad Reaction". This invloved either the third page from The Sun/Star or any page from the Daily Sport (or better yet a porno mag) and then holding it up against the coach window.
Popular with truckers, but oddly unpopular with a minibus of Nuns encountered on the M3... Got bollocked after they stopped in Fleet services and made a beeline for the teachers.

Today I was emailed by Mindy Lim...
...she's from Singapore and told me "have a bless day ahead".
For a previous employer I used to have to speak to a software programmer in NY who was called Chip Baumgardner.

» Shit Stories
Thermals....
On a ski-ing holiday several years ago, an old classmate had a nasty accident. When receiving one-one tuition (this bloke really could not ski) he snow ploughed into a ditch.
Prone to pining on school trips for his mother (despite we were 16 or so) he was pretty depressed and had been feeling unwell. Anyway he hit this snow bank & "superman'ed it" into a ditch about 4 feet deep full of snow. Where he puked in panic, then shat himself. Liquid shit. Lots of it.
We were on this trip in Canada, a very cold country which was averaging about -30 when we were out there. He was wearing thermal long johns, two pairs of trousers, all tucked into his ski boots.
THe PE teacher who headed up this trip after somehow getting him cleaned up, then took a very large bin liner of stained clothing to the hotel reception desk and asked for it to be dry cleaned. So he told us afterward the receptionist opened it to have a look inside and nearly passed out.
Sorry for length, but had to tell the world.
