If everyone else is dressed up and you're not, you're the one who looks like a dickhead. not if you make your excuses on the RSVP and go elsewhere that night one of my friends did a 70's theme for her 40th , I reluctantly went along with a high shoes , lime green shirt , tiger striped suit and big hair ... you can see my unease \ embarrassment in the early photo's .... you can also see me by the end of the night fully embracing my outfit and enjoying myself So whilst I'd do everything in my power to avoid fancy dress ( other than toying with the idea that my funeral will a fancy dress party , which may be amusing at 45 , but maybe not so if I live to be 107 ) , it was good fun once you've had a few ..end of the day you all look stupid together Edited September 2, 2015 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 2, 2015 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's a stag do in another country. So doing something else isn't really an option. I like fancy dress anyway. I usually get way too involved and spend loads on a costume that nobody cares about apart from me. I'm only miffed by this one because I've neverseen Peaky Blinders so I've not much idea what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Watch Peaky Blinders then. It's worth it and on netflix. And don't forget the razor in your cap, you never know when it might kick off on a stag do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 2, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 2, 2015 Just a thought. If your stags was happening 50 miles down the road from where it is happening, then your Peaky Blinders attire would blend in with the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody queried it, I just said "1860s, mate. Nobody specified century". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Random question VT. Does anyone know any famous people called "Oxford"? First or last name, doesn't matter. I like how when this question was asked (apparently this was the last time I was in this thread too), nobody could think of any high profile names. Since then most PL football fans are now familiar with the name Reece Oxford. It's interesting though, I was incidentally thinking about it after his debut. I would have thought (baseless assumption really) that Oxford would be at least a somewhat common surname, but I don't think I've heard of a single person with that name until Reece.

Stevo985 Posted September 3, 2015 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2015 Oh, I'm sure we'll manage. I thought you were going to tell me that peaky Blinders is actually some massively anti-irish TV show and we were all going to get murdered.

villa4europe Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Just do it like the blues fans do on their away trips, the peaky blinders dress quite smart, they don't wear their usual clobber plus a flat cap You need a jacket, some trousers that are slightly too short, a nice shirt and a flat cap, you'll get it all in charity shops, if you struggle with the flat cap they sell them in Edinburgh wool shops and the range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 3, 2015 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 3, 2015 I think that's the plan. Tweed 3 piece suits with a hat and a weird shirt. I've got everything I need, all I'm lacking is the shirt as mentioned earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
