Well the Christmas party season is upon us already and some bright spark at my work has decided our party shall be fancy dress. I am in principle up for it but the theme is superheroes, and having browsed the paltry selection of batgirl, catwoman, etc costumes available I am now panicking. Anyone got any ideas that don't involve wearing spandex or some sort of black pvc mini-skirt and thigh high boots? Not that I have anything against such items per se, just not really me. Grateful for any suggestions!

Poisen Ivy's a good one just lots of green and some twigs! :)........or captain underpants!


i went to a heroes and villains party this year and a couple of the girls dressed up as supergran not a very glam look but i appreciated there effort, shopping trollies and all!

Your gonna be pretty hard pushed to find a Female Superhero not in spandex bu here goes


Lady Deathstrike - X-Men 2 Version - Leather Trousers and Jacket (but with those claws it might be hard to hold one's G&T)

Trinity - The Matrix

Raven - Teen Titans (cartoon version)- Moody teen, pretty cool actually

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - All you need is a stake!

That's a puzzler.

There are lesser-known superhero/villains (eg a number of 'witches' and the like). They ten to wear the usual revealing costume but the addition of a cape would be an asset by the sounds of it (no offence, like). And you'd get the chance to exhume your old Goth wardrobe. Unfortunately, 98% of people won't have the faintest idea who you are and you'll have to explain yourself all night long.


A easy get-out (and easy outfit) would be to go as Dr Jean Grey - in her X-Men screen outing - who is dressed as a doctor (because, er, she is one)

I know! The next few years is pretty big for comic book adaptations. You've got The Dark Knight, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Magneto, The Flash, Justice League of America to name but a few. Will be intersting to see who's gonna get the leads in some of those let me tell you.

I realise that the director worked on 300, so maybe used to the graphic novel aesthetic, but Watchmen is more than just a comic book. There are A LOT of threads and subtleties to handle; I hope they don't ruin it.

Ooh just thought of another un-spandex clad super-villain. How about V?

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
