Fucking Hell Halloween, parents get a grip. They are pulling them out the bath, do not make it easy for the sick bastards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44109 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I don't answer the door. It's not a problem in my new place cos it's an upstairs flat, but normally I would just shut the curtains and not bother answering. Same with Christmas Carollers.

Guest alex Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 A lot of parents tend to go round with kids these days like. I'm against it though because it's an American institution, i.e. trick or treat. In my day, we wanted hard currency not sweeties anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44109 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Did anyone used to do penny for the guy btw? It's for tramps as far as I'm concerned. I used to walk past them like Lord Snooty with my top hat on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Last few years we have bought packs of sweets, mini mars's etc and put them in the fruit bowl. Spend all night answering the door handing the bowl to them. As a kid I demanded hard cash, but I dont give them the option. This year Im thinking of just not bothering. Should I feel guilty? Or am I saving their health and helping to reinforce their safety of knocking on strangers doors etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44109 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 My mate handed out a condom each to two little lads. They got halfway down the drive before they worked out what they were and both fell about laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to walk past them like Lord Snooty with my top hat on. The best one was when charvas would just come to the door and one of them would lie down and pretend to be the Guy, or better still, not even pretend to have one. I used to make a latern out of a turnip like for Hallowe'en. Used to take ages to scoop it out. Pumpkins are for puffs tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Patrokles Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 We're shite at Halloween. May as well just not bother, in my opinion. If you're going to do something, get into it and make an effort, enjoy it and whatnot. But if the entire country is going to be completely half-arsed about it- why bother?

Fuck off, you knobheads! I wouldn't necessarily disagree that that's a bit much. I just personally believe that events should either be properly celebrated and got into, or just not celebrated at all. I just hate limp, indifferent reponses to things.

EVER THINK OF THAT? Never seen the Hallowe'en 'Most Haunted Live' then? Listen to Alan Robson on Hallowe'en man. I shit the bed every year. I agree about realising it's for kids though. I remember being asked in America "What are you doing for Hallowe'en." I'm there thinking "I'm 27 years old, you clown. What do you THINK I'm doing for Hallowe'en?!"

Gemmill 44109 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 spongebob, you've let yourself down with your encyclopaedic knowledge of Buffy. Having said that, you could always redeem yourself by posting a pic of this Cordelia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 We get into Hallowe'en here, we just realise it's just for kids. And students. Maybe it's just personal experience, then, but in my eyes, it's not really much fun for kids if they just walk around every house and get sour old faces tossing them a fun-sized crunchie bar. Although I agree with Gemmill and you that adults dressing up is a bit much, I did like how they made a bit of effort to decorate the porch nicely, etc, so that whole streets just looked 'halloweeny.' Nowt wrong with a bit of enthusiasm. Besides, it's quite fun to decorate for things like that. Nice to have a bit of a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
