Thor prevents robbery in Scotland

An intruder received a taste of divine reckoning as he was chased from the Edinburgh flat he was breaking into by a man dressed as the Norse god Thor.

The housebreaker leapt from the first-floor window of the building to escape Torvald Alexander who was dressed-up for a New Year's fancy dress party.

Mr Alexander, 39, said the man may have been intimidated by the costume he made of the god of thunder out of tin foil.

The intruder did not manage to take anything from the flat in Inverleith.

Mr Alexander said the man landed on a pitched roof outside the window which broke his fall, before making his escape.

He left behind his shoes and a pitch fork he used to break into the building.

Mr Alexander, a builder, said he was inspired to dress as Thor by the Marvel comic series.

Movie called Adventures in Babysitting. He really was awesome as Thor, not so much now. You'd see him in Law and Order Criminal Intent.

I can't believe the writer of that article actually said "fancy dress party."

Ummm what the hell else would he call it?

Everyone says fancy dress party

 

[BlackLantern]

fancy dress party (UK) = costume party (US) correct?? I bet that guy feels like an ass for getting thwarted by a dude in a costume

I'm an American. The very phrase sounds ridiculous to me, especially when people show up for them wearing tin foil superhero costumes.

I always just say "costume party", as they're rarely as fancy as they're made out to be.

 

[BlackLantern]

well it is a BBC article about an incident that took place in Scotland....they have their terms, we have ours

Why waste money on an expensive Thor costume when some hot chick is only going to rip it off to make sweet love to you! and on the plus side you can cook chicken with the left of foil the next day

All I'm saying is, that man was not wearing fancy dress.

Proof?

 

[Manic]

Proof?

...it was a tin foil costume.

Tin Foil = Shiny / Shiny = Fancy
