When did this crap start, its costing me a fortune in outfits,make up, pumpkins and god knows what else for the kids. Dont remember owt like this when i was growing up.
Its another Americanisation of the UK and i ****ing hate it, but then i'll be accused of hating everything... Seriously though - parents happily send their kids out begging and do they even know what theyre celebrating?
Whenever I hear a knock on the door I ignore it. I'm home alone tonight so I'll have most of the lights off, hopefully the little bastards take that as a hint.
Come on bob its not that bad. you've got so much to live for. Brucey will get sacked one day, just hold onto that.....
Couple of pints after work for me, followed by me locking myself indoors with my music on, and bottle of red. If anyone knocks, I won't hear them, and I'll be so happily oblivious.
When I first looked at this, I thought "meh, it's not that scary", and then I saw the face of Michael Jackson...
I'm 23 and can never remember anything like this at Halloween when I was growing up. It only really seems to be these last few years when it has really caught on here.
City are doing a Halloween XI on Twitter at the moment, some of the suggestions are terrible, though Joe Dungeon did make me smile.
Trick or treat is the Americanism as is calling father Christmas 'Santa' both of which are a new situation. Halloween isn't new it was on the go when I was a kid and I'm 39 although like many things it has been seriously over egged. As an example growing up I can never remember ever buying my dad a fathers day card as it wasn't that well celebrated now it's a slight on your dad if you DON'T get him at least a card. This has happened on many calender dates such as. Easter, Fathers day, Shrove Tuesday, Halloween and Valentines day. I could have picked many more but I think you get the point.
It is definitely a bad time of year for 'reformed' paedos. Kids knocking the door down, wanting sweets you don't even have to offer...
Ye the mrs said do you want a costume to me. Said get me a gold trackie a blonde wig and a cigar. She didnt laugh. Mind I've been doing Jimmy impressions all morning. Now then now then Dear Jimmy can you fix it for me.......... I bet you all read that in his voice didnt you???
