We've heard of drunk people up and down the country hoarding traffic cones before but this is just ridiculous.

The group of five men dressed as orange cones were reportedly blocking traffic in Kingston town centre at 4.40am on Sunday.

Police uploaded a photo with details of the bizarre situation on Twitter where it has been retweeted hundreds of times

In North Carolina, the Fort Bragg military base was placed on alert after a soldier dressed as a suicide bomber for Halloween. The costume, which included a fake explosives vest, prompted an emergency response and statement that all Halloween outfits must be 'tasteful' "Last evening a soldier attempted to gain access to Fort Bragg through one of our access control points. The soldier was dressed as a suicide bomber with [a fake] explosive vest,” the base wrote on its Facebook page.

Appearing on a public street dress as a traffic cone: Very creative, good costume.

Attempting to enter a military base dressed as a suicide bomber: Not such a good idea.
