    So....

    What's the superhero costume of choice here? SQL Bits is a month+ away, with the theme of superheroes for the Friday night party.

    Need to get ordering something to take with me.

    Steve, drawing a blank on Cowboy Super Heroes, there must be one that had a penchant for wearing Hawaiian shirts when not as the Super Hero ? 🙂

    Rodders...

    I don't know that Jonah Hex ever wore Hawaiian shirts, but he's a cowboy comics hero. (Not sure about the "super" part either).

    Does it have to be from the comics? What about 80's cartoons like Bravestarr or the Galaxy Rangers?

    I haven't got any clue for a costume. Maybe cheat, buy a green hoodie and go as Arrow (but without a bow due to airline luggage restrictions)

    This[/url], in London? What sort of bow and arrows would you like? I can offer you 30lb ash selfbow, 55lb Victorian-style laminate longbow with pretty handle, 80lb yew, 80lb laminate with a handle but full-compass-tillered, 120lb yew, 130lb laminate, 135lb yew; and a variety of arrows, some pretty, most darned ugly, and a few downright scary.

    Well crap. Now I want to go as the Arrow. And I want the 135lb yew with some scary arrows please.

    Your wish etc etc PM me if you're sure and we'll fix it up.

    Chris I did wonder if you would offer up your arsenal for SQL Bits! 😀

    Will you be making an appearance?

    Cheers,

    Rodders...

    I'd love to come along, Rodders. Depends how things pan out here - our little team's going to be in the deep stuff from next week for around 6 weeks or so and I have a shedload of other stuff on my plate which is munching up the weekends. Excell isn't that hard to get to from home, however...

    Are you still around Bracknell?
