Dressing up ideas

We're going as Wildcats from High School Musical... it will go down well with the girls apparently. Apparently being the key word here.

Be careful johnfas. My sister dressed up as an all too convincing Lara Croft a few years back, and was followed around by 12 year old boys all night.

My friend syas he is thinking of dressing up as the economic downturn... interesting to see how he'll pull that off. I think last year he went as the doppler effect.

How many 16 inch pizzas for 10 people?

i'd estimate 2 with one spare in the freezer just in case.

you can fill people up with nachos or garlic bread.

We got our High School Musical costumes made up today - I am going to freeze tonight.

A 16 inch pizza is 200 Sq inches , which is just over 3 times the area of a 9 inch (64 sq in)

So taking a 9" as a good per person measure, I would say 3x16" for 10 people.

Merci beaucoup EVM - it takes a mathemagician!

I just discovered a 16" is PI times bigger in area than a 9" ......... almost.

he took my answer and threw in a formula along the lines of:

pie = diameter 9'*10 - (garlic bread/nachos)

solve for pie!

pie = (checks zakalwe's answer) 3!

That you will. It's to be icy tonight.

I must be the only person on the planet who hasn't seen High School Musical.

I'm surprised you're unaware of the phenomenon of High School Musical, you do have nieces under 10 don't you?

One's 11 and the rest are all under five so I've been spared that.

Johnfás will indeed freeze.

Now that's luck Kate.

Unless he's got some choreography from the musical learnt to keep warm.

Nachos suck and would not fill a goldfish....really.

Au contraire, the synthesis of cheese, jalapenos, salsa and tortillas is quite tasty and goes very well with a good DVD and a few bottles of Staropramen.

Just in the door, the girlfriend's little sister (who she is in charge of for the weekend) was feeling ill so I had to drive to pick her up and bring her home early from her party. High School Musical was certainly very cold, but it was good fun. There was a huge variety of costumes around the place this evening! I also went to Quantum of Solace earlier, the 3/5 it got in the papers is about right.

In which cinema did you see it? I know of a few people who went to see it in the Savoy.

You are far tooooo posh to be an alien. So you must be human. A most dastardly example of human as could possibly exist.

The Ormonde in Stillorgan. It was OK but certainly not a classic Bond, nowhere near as good as Casino Royale. I felt it flicked from one thing to the next far too readily, it was like Bond trying to do Bourne which I didn't think worked.

Eah? Since when did aliens become common? Vulcans are terribly refined individuals.

I see. I like Bourne and think it's far more suited to the 21st century than Bond whom I think belongs firmly in the 20th century. In this modern age, I feel James Bond is a very anachronistic character.

I also like Bourne, in fact I like both and I think that is what I did not like about this. If I want to see Bourne I go to Bourne... I don't pay to see Bond doing it badly.

Well. I counted nine Darth Vaders tonight. Some of them no higher than a grasshoppers knee.
You caused this you Keynesian Alien.
