    Does anybody know where I can buy some elastic cord, thin black stuff, in long lengths?

    I need it to make some cardboard face masks for a holiday next week. I'm disguising myself so my wife doesn't see me on Farcebook hanging around in bars.

    Re: why not get some of these

    My Mam's probably got a ton of it. I'll bring you some on Saturday.

    Thanks, on my way. The BBS, store of all human knowledge, strikes again.

    Re: loads here on Amazon

    I've already got Mr Bean, Freddie Mercury and Robbie Williams masks. I'm making some of my own with blown up pictures of friends on them. I'm really grown up.

    Thanks but will probably be too late, setting off on Sunday 2am. Won't have time to mess about with face masks on Saturday night while celebrating our victory.

    I hope said masks will have large mouth-holes then, otherwise supping ale will be tricky. Unless you are going to use straws, of course. That could get dangerous, knowing you!

    For Christ's sake don't pretend you're a burglar and then go hiding in the bathroom.

    I think the inevitable series of Facebook photos on your profile may be a giveaway, mask or no mask. You need to set up an "incognito" group.

    I think the inevitable series of "zerbrechlich" posts might also be a giveaway ;-)

    It's all very well you two having a go at me but I'll be wearing a wig and a cardboard mask in all the photos so there's no chance of being recognised. I will however be quite zerbrechlich on most mornings.

    Anyway I thought under the new rules we had to write in English only? Am I going to get banned?

    She will need an ICBM to get me if I hide in the bathroom, since I'll be in Austria and she'll be at home.

    That's a tricky challenge. There's always the risk of being snapped and exposed while lifting one's mask for a crafty slurp

    Don't worry it never works and I get fobbed off after less than a minute. Unless they want a drink, in which case it's about 3 minutes.

    So far my skiing equipment consists of 8 cardboard face masks, a wig and some light up ice cubes to drop in people's drinks when they're not looking. As I said earlier, I'm really grown up I am! I'll send you some photos.

    Good point. Actually it was me who wrote it, so it is me who should be banned.
