Ours is on the same night as not many this side of Irish sea celebrate guy fawkes failure lol. Used to be an estate competition leading up to Halloween (when young I might add): build & protect your bonfire while attempting to burn the rival estates before halloween. Near torched my mate one year as he unknown to us tried to light one from the inside while we merrily poured petrol on the outside and WHOOSH! fastest I ever saw him run.... G you should dress as a priest and lurk at the bedroom window. That'll scare them off and still arguably in the spirit of the occasion!
Just because you brought the **** weather with you...as soon as you ****ed off it was Costa del Weymouth again
God you lot are miserable. I assume you have told your kids santa and the easter bunny isnt real too to save you a few quid in pressies! Lol
No, Santa ate the Easter bunny (why he's fat) and is being punished by burning on a bonfire as a witch for the ability to make reindeer fly......
You've not got kids then? Santa (daddy) gets to eat the pies and drink the booze. Added bonus for me is my boys aren't that keen on chocolate so Easter is pretty good for me too
I have no kids. Am eldest of five and had the job of walking the streets of moreton to look after my siblings every year. Now I just have a bowl of sweets at the front doir for the local kids that knock.
Halloween was fine when I was a kid. Then those ****ing yanks with their ****ing trick-or-****ing-bastard-treat bastard thing infiltrated our culture yet again and turned a perfectly innocent celebration of death and demon worship into a bloody commercial greed-fest project for children, teaching them how to demand favours with menaces. As if they needed any help with that. Hope this answers your question. Got to love Bobby Boris Pickett, though.
**** Halloween and bloody Trick or Treat - another piece of tacky Americana that has no place here. Anyway it's really All Saints Day and it also happens to be my lad's birthday (hooray!!!) When I was a lad we had Mischief Night on November 4th.
****ing stupid!! Who ever thought trying to eat an apple tied up on a string with your hands tied behind your back was a good idea? Don't like that? Then try eating an apple that's floating around in a bath of water with your hands behind your back. Crazy!!!! Does anybody remember the chestnut sellers on London Road and Clayton Square?
November 1st is All Saints Day. (All Saints=All Hallows, Hallowe'en= the evening before, when all the witches, goblins, ghoulies and Utd fans get let out for a bit.) Happy Birthday, dave's lad. My point exactly. Innocent fun turned into selfish extortion.
Halloween is awesome! 18 year old girls dressing up as slutty nurse/witch/vampire etc... The kids knocking on the door is a pisstake though.
I remember them saint. They had an olde worlde type of hotdog stand on wheels thing with a fire inside and used to give a small shovel full of burning hot chestnuts in a thick brown bag but i cant remember how much they were,
