You know, a proper detective-length one. I only need to wear it once, so won't be buying a new one, but it's harder than you might expect.

For what occasion will you be using it? Detective length. Yeah yeah yeah, flash 'n' shoot, no? You perv. ;-)

When is he likely to be leaving work?

About 5:30, hang around outside Notting Hill Tube.

Go to one of the many "Uncle Reggie's Long Grey Overcoat Emporium"s, of course.

i've got one that i found on the street, you can borrow it if you want. it might be a bit big for you but then again you can hide lots of gadgets under it.

Are you sure that's a good look for you?

Esmk - yes please. The longer the better really.

I'm trying to find a quickly-inflatable thing to hide under it but it's proving tricky...

eheheh find out where the yes men got their quickly inflatable um things! or lifejackets? where in london are you matt? i'm cycling from hackney to streatham via brixton in a few hours and will be out around islington this evening, so can prob meet you somewhere with it...

costume hire? Maybe one of these have ready-made Inspector Gadget outfits? (or generic private eye costumes)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 14 December 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

I work in Islington so that's fine by me. I don't need it until next Tuesday so there's no need to send you out of your way - we can meet at any point in the next few days really. But tonight's fine as well.

Fuck hiring a costume though - making the gadgets is going to be the best bit!

ok cool. i'd prefer not to trek it to sarf london and back then - email me on this addy but with a _ instead of the .

You could steal one off Jose Mourinho.
