Is it even safe to hand out stuff to the pampered children that have no creative tendencies and turn up with a shit mask and no outfit?

Not genuine dilemma’s are they more like stuff Piers Morgan pretends to be bothered about in his role of Britain’s premier arsehole.

Halloween is quite surprising here quite a lot of Americans live near and you have seen nothing like the extent they go to decorating the house, that looo. like Ghost Trains. Some actually had actors last year on the night outside the house, madness. We used to be happy with a cardboard witches hat, a bin bag and a turnip. It’s great for the kids but it made our efforts look a bit shit in comparison

Halloween is a commercialised pain in the arse.
Unfortunately for me it’s my birthday and for years now you cannot go out for a meal as everywhere is full of fake cobwebs and kids.

Young kids seem to enjoy it though and I have two currently, give me a few years and I will be back to your stance on the evening

It's the older people who look like Uncle Fester and identify as constantly moaning arseholes that bother me.

sod halloween. kids might love it but its taken over from bonfire night a bit. the latter is one of OUR nights and not another bloody yankee import like proms etc. thought a couple of years ago they were pushing yank thanksgiving but the shops will jump on anything to get our cash.

Halloween was actually, like nearly everything else imported into the US.

It’s not as English granted as our celebration of a terrorist trying to burn down parliament (where’s old Guido when you need him now?)

If one of the two had to go it would surely be bonfire night though and the weeks of herberts letting off fireworks causing strain on the creaking emergency services and terrifying and harming poor animals. It at least needs to be limited to public displays.

Stay away from the mirror then.

The only good thing about Bonfire night is they don’t come banging on the door on a rota. Someone Sid just give the kids a Victory V selection pack. Hmmmmm, potential.

Everyone knows ‘Someone Sid’ local ‘character’ and philosopher round our way....... OK I left the ‘i’ out, but the Someone Sid name does have potential now you mention it, but not as much as the Victory V selection pack.

hope my dogs have worked out their rota from last year. geared up for a long barkfest tomorrow night.

Should keep the buggers from coming back.
Available on e bay and Amazon.

Just be a miserable old git like me and don't answer the door, or if you feel like a bit of harmless fun and are in a mischevious mood answer the door with a huge bloodstained knife in one hand and a pound of liver in the other and then see the look of delight on the little angels faces.

I think we have a plan coming together.

small sprout dipped in chocolate does the trick

Made some toffee apples today and put in a few onions

Just tell them to fuck right off, Works for me.

Miserable old git.

I coming round your gaff tomorrow.

I won,t be in going on the piss!

I might make some bread with chilli powder in it. Give them that!

I don't bother going to door . I just stare at the adult's accompanying the kids from behind the curtains with a Michael Myers mask on...They don't hang around long.

Is he Soft Mick's brother?

No man, you're thinking of Daft Dave..... or was it Fine Time Fontaine?

Mustn't have been much of a fine time if you can't remember him clearly.

trick or treat. just say you support pools and they,ll run away thinking a mad man lives there.

He has that effect on you.

Halloween used to be something of rehearsal for bonny night, which was the real event we looked forward to.
Trick or treat? WTF is that. Penny for the guy, man.
Living just over the road from the tips (sorry if you're too young to know what that was), I was pretty spoilt for choice on bonfire night.

funny how i,ll give to a penny for the guy and a F off to trick or trat.

Kids dont put any effort into making a Guy though you should have seen the pathetic effort outside Tesco at the Fens, a football with a mask on a pile of clothes, get fucked son, you get out what you put in, Nothing.
We used to get straw and stuff clothes, make a head from straw and draw a spooky face, too much too young and no need to try, give him a medal for coming coming last syndrome!

One outside Sainsbury’s at Seaton, was a tracksuit with a ball for the head. I didn’t know if the kids were getting picked up or begging..... till they asked the usual ‘penny for the guy’.....I wished I had a penny, the reaction would have been priceless.
So, ignored them.

No one does it down here in fact I spoke to my mate about penny for the guy and he looked at me like I was mad. It’s normal with stories from my childhood. Most down here think I grew up in Victorian England, they never had a pop van or milkman, they thought a rag and bone man was either that fat singer or steptoe. I tried to get the neighbours to have a bonfire on front green but they where worried about the grass and insulting the parish council

bloody health and safety and the PC brigade again.

Just for you. Political correctness gone mad:



"Basically, there's a whole generation of people who confuse political correctness and Health and Safety.'

Still Britain's best comedian.

He's shite Chip.

That’s not chip. I know who it though.
