Sounds like the perfect excuse to mug someone or other forms of mischief "It was the guy dressed as wally"

Sadly, even after years of meditation in a Tibetan monastery, Wally never managed to find himself.

As opposed to the guy in jeans, white runners and a hoodie?

!?! · 04-06-2011 12:54PM

How big are the adult Wally costumes? Would you say they'd get here in time if I ordered them today or tomorrow?

Biggins · 04-06-2011 01:49PM

Would definitely do it had it been more closer to home.
Looks like a laugh.

Visitors to Cork that day not knowing at first its on, are going to get some great laughs for hours as they wander around.
...And its for charity. Thats a bonus.

You can bet that night, the news clips at the end of many a world news programme will feature it.

readyletsgo · 13-06-2011 11:54AM

Whats the story with this in Dublin? cant really find clear info on where to get the costumes etc on work internet, things blocked

You collect on the day is it? Could be a laugh!

!?! · 13-06-2011 11:57AM

You buy the costumes here: http://www.spwc.ie/p3.html and collect from the tourist center on Suffolk street or else on the day, just bring your paypal receipt.

What charity is it for?

readyletsgo · 13-06-2011 12:00PM

Ah thanks man!
Only €12, not much reallly.

!?! · 13-06-2011 12:01PM

No probs...but I'm a girl! :rolleyes:

readyletsgo · 13-06-2011 12:04PM

Lol, sorry, thanks!

Just so people who are buying these know, this was on in Cork this weekend jsut gone.
The "Large Wally" is massive and the "Small Wally" is like a Medium mens size.
Im a 6ft guy and i was comfortably able to wear the large over a hoodie.

Also, if its like Cork. You can just buy on the day.

orourkeda · 13-06-2011 12:17PM

Fack off wally

Darragh · 13-06-2011 01:16PM

Hey folks

This is one I can answer as I'm involved in it.

Here's some photos of what happened in Cork yesterday at the Street Performance World Championship - 2,563 people showed up to beat the previous record of 1,052.

A quick reminder that you can buy costumes online OR from the Dublin Tourism Office on Suffolk Street OR at Merrion Square – see here for more details.

There are two attempts in Dublin - one on Saturday, one on Sunday, both at 6.30pm on Merrion Square.

The proceeds of the costumes go to Africa Aware and to keep the SPWC afloat - they lost their main sponsor this year so want to make sure they come back for year 7!

Any more questions just stick them below.

Cheers

Darragh
