You only ever used to see such a huge amount of odd balls on a full moon but now they have another day. Its the culmination of years of planning and its the one day a year when big butch men wear a skirt... outside of the house. It is the Saturday of a test match.
So far I have seen:
- Freddie Mercury, Elivs Presley and Buddy Holly all sitting together in a heavenly reunion
- Seven Fred Flinstones, complete with wacky and hillarious inflatable clubs
- A man who could have passed as a woman
- A woman who could have passed as a man *
- A bunch of thieves, crooks and convicts
- Some Australians
- A gaggle of Grannies, who due to their facial hair, I think were middle aged men
- A group of coppers who had spent so much time getting their uniforms so perfect, they deserved a prize. They even had working radios and realistic looking hand cuffs.
- St George and a mini-me, looking for a dragon to slay. **
- Three girls doing PR for N-Power, freezing their asses off in outfits that were painted on and a skirt so short it would make The Girl blush. ***
- Old men with handlebar moustaches, old Etonian caps, stripey blazers and an MCC tie.
Sadly the last one was not done in a post ironic sort of way and was how they dress every day
* Please note: This may not have been due to fancy dress.
** Please note again: After the great dragon migration of 1976, Old Trafford has not had much of a dragon problem, the remaining dragons died off a few years ago, when there were no comely virgins for them to feast on.
*** Please note once more, final time I promise!: NSFW!****
**** Damn it: This stands for Not Safe for Work
