Bring in the New Year In Style With Our Funky Fancy Dress Outfits!
We know, it happens, it's almost like a tradition now, but every year we find ourselves rushing about with what seems like just a few hours left of the entire year trying to get our New Year's Eve Fancy Dress outfit sorted. We've had a year to plan and nothing has been done.
The party has been in the calendar since November, but with all the Christmas buzz and rushing around we've just plum forgotten to get out outfit sorted!
.
Well not this year! To help us and of course you guys avoid this annual dilemma, we thought we would pop together a little short list of some of our personal favourites and bestselling costumes to help your NYE go with a bang! Enjoy...
Peel the Power! Bananaman First Released 35 Years Ago Today!
As mad as it is to think, Britain's fruitiest superhero first hit the comic strips today back in 1980!
First appearing in the very first issue of Nutty (then later the Dandy), Eric Wimp AKA Bananaman is an ordinary schoolboy living at 29 Acacia Road, Nuttytown (originally) who when he feels the need or there is hero work to be done eats a Banana which transforms him into one of the most loved retro superheroes ever!
Eric had a crush on Fiona, the newsreader, and as Bananaman he had to fight against the evil plots of General Blight, the Heavy Mob, Dr Gloom, and some aliens called Nerks lead by King Zorg. Busy boy!
Later hitting the screens in 1983, we were introduced to his classic theme tune and intro and a new look Eric making him looks slightly less punky and more nerdy. Perfect Superhero material :)
"This is 29, Acacia Road. And this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double life. For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananaman. Ever alert for the call to action."
Running for a total of 40 episodes which were just 5 minutes long, Bananaman certainly isn't the longest living superhero there has ever been but his quirky get up and silly nature really won our hearts and also made us think that Bananas were just about as powerful and things got!

What do you get when you cross Bananaman and Stephen Hawking?
...well it turns out THIS...
_
Yep this amazing encounter occurred just last week in Cambridge when nine men out of a stag night saw their chance and took it when they ran into legendary physicist Prof Stephen Hawking.
Hawking was out getting dinner with his son when this chance encounter took place. Looking to make a night of it, the stag, Chris Hallum, and his fellow Superheroes took no time to rally up and become internet sensations by posting this amazing piccy on Facebook.
