I'm with Monty

In the words of Duncan Bannatyne, whenever fancy dress is involved "I'm out."

Oh well
I'm sure I was more scared than you 2 years ago. And I was going with a bunch of people of whom I only knew one, and we were work peers. I was shit scared. And I did have the time of my life.

You should try!

It's not about fear

I honestly cannot be bothered to source and spend stupid money on a costume, I cannot see the point beyond the first 5 mins where everyone is like "wow you came as the AIDS virus hilarious".

It doesn't have to be expensive
A lab coat or some old clothes are good too. The only reason I'm wearing what I'm wearing is because my mr. insisted. I'm a bit too shy, though.

the one exception is Himmler
I'd happily go to a party dressed as Himmler. Whether it was a fancy dress party or not.

I'll have to invite you to my next party, then
Are you around Manchester on the 23rd of January?

I'm in London
I'm tempted to say I'd come up, though, if only for the amusement I'd get from the train journey in full costume....

If that's not enough
There'll be a whole Manchester Winter Ale Festival waiting for you (and my birthday party, too)

I'm rather tempted

Gwangwangwangwangwan.
I'm going *winks*


Just realised that might put you off.

I'd rather try
stabbing myself in the groin repeatedly with needles, like Albert Fish.

If you're going to be like that
I won't try to convince you anymore. But it's fun.

You say that

But I had this argument with the misses on Halloween, it'll be fun she said, no effort...

...3 hours later, Asda, Tesco and several fancy dress shops later, I was poor pissed off and bored.

That was time I'll never get back, fancy dress stole it from me!

That's outrageous!
No, I spend more like 30 min looking for it. I hate shopping. The only reason I didn't buy it online was that I had to try it on.

In all truth
I was just looking for an excuse to mention Albert Fish.

But also in truth, nothing you can say will prevent me from find the whole concept embarrassing. Musical theatre of any kind is anathema to me - musical theatre with costumes and joining in?

*shudders*

Oh
But you'll be so drunk by the time you get dressed up and onto the theatre that you won't care.

As I said, I won't try to convince you anymore. Let's talk about that Albert Fish chap.

He ate a boy's arse, once.
As well as being a cannibal and general maniac, he was once found by his son wanking whilst crying and screaming the Lord's Prayer.


What a guy!
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 9 Dec 2009, 18:02, Reply)

He did more than that
But I get sick thinking about it, so maybe it wasn't good to talk about it.

OK. No more Fish, today.
Actually I'm off home now, so I bid you a good evening.

Musicals are anti-art

They suck the reason out of people and the beautify, power and passion from music.


And tell me this, yeah, how when more than one character have just met do they all know the words, tune and dance moves to a song, eh, eh...and while I'm at it, if you want to fight, fucking fight don't fucking dance you fucking nonces.

That doesn't happen in RH
The ones that sing together know each other from before. The new ones sing alone.

But some musicals are good. I liked The Producers (the new one)
