Few trick or treaters this year - perhaps they got the hint..

Those that did make it through got raw sprouts covered in Aldi cooking chocolate. :twisted:

What a bunch of miserable bastards!

 

I don't think anyone really minds a visit from the real youngsters, with parents at a discrete distance....Who have maybe taken the trouble to dress-up in Halloween costumes....It's the hoodied teenagers I object to....They can be quite intimidating, especially to the elderly....Take my 90yo Grandmother for example: She has a choice between answering the door after dark, to god knows who (which she doesn't do at ANY time), or staying safe indoors while they kick the shit out of her flowerpots etc....Not much of a choice really is it?

 

It would be best if the Trick-or-treaters only went to houses displaying evidence that the occupants are in the spirit of the thing....Pumpkin etc....And respect that not everybody wants to be pestered at their own front door....Remind me what they're actually "Celebrating" anyway? I seem to have forgotten! :?

I dislike halloween and always have. My american mates won't shut up about it. It seems way more important than independence day to them as a national holiday!

Luckily here in CZ it's largely ignored but it has sadly started to appear in schools etc.

 

Sprouts idea is genius.

Yeah I hate Halloween too. Yesterday evening's preperations involved covering my car with a cover so it wouldn't get egged by the little cunts, turning off every light in the house and spending the evening upstairs watching all the On the Buses films back to back :D with the curtains and blinds firmly shut of course.

 

Great evening.

Well, I had a very enjoyable Halloween. Lots of little shrimps coming to the door, all dressed up in fun costumes and with Mum & Dad in tow to make sure they said 'thank you' etc. No yobs or 'hoodies' or owt (bearing in mind the little shit over the road likes to chuck eggs around the street any day of the year). Best of all enough sweeties left over to last me and WorldofCeri_Jnr until Christmas.

could be worse! could be having a celebration that less than 1% of the population of the UK celebrates rammed down your throat too - oh, I see we even have junk threads about it here.

 

I love halloween, and it's a thing we always celebrated in Scotland from when I was young. Dooking for apples, scaring your sister, jumpers for goals, etc, etc.

I love the “fuck off†pumpkin and Saville one. Shame I don’t have any pictures of the Saddam Hussain pumpkin I did a few years back. I never answer the door to them , big or small. I really, really, don’t like children.

I got prawns put through the letter box (I’ll give them credit for using their imaginations) last year. I’m wise to it now-made sure the letter box was gaffer taped up to not give them their “funâ€Â.

Until fairly recently, proper fireworks were banned here in NI (for obvious reasons). I remember the first year of them being on sale in proper shops, and the whole bloody country went mad! I was driving back from the Offie up one of the town's main roads and they were going off all over the place, quite spectacular. I recall someone "doing a Balotelli" last year and setting fire to his house by shooting rockets off from INSIDE the house. Brain donor.

We did one of those 'Ghost Tour' things again round Chester, I'm a firm 'non-believer' but you get some good tales and learn a bit of history. It was a great way to spend an hour or so, only blightened by some spineless tosspot in a Corsa lobbing (and missing from 3 yards) an egg at the lady doing the tour and some fat gobby couple who seemed to think laughing when their pissing text message alert kept going off and generally just talking and being rude was acceptable.

I do.

 

I don't. Particularly when their 30 something mothers have gone to the trouble of dressing up like a sexy Morticia Addams just to escort their kids around. :D

Not a single Trick or treater....one of the benefits of living in a very Christian area, as its regarded as Evil and pagan etc.

 

They've never heard of Soul Cakes, then... basically the entire 'greed' thing of Hallowe'en packed into a sufficiently god-bothering package to pacify the needs of even the most sanctimonious of credible sky-god loving idiots. I prefer the Samhain background of Hallowe'en myself, to be honest. At least there's a bit of fun in that.

Oddly enough around here it's fairly well taken care of.

 

It's pretty much packed in by the time it gets dark, it's usually just parents with little kids either being pulled about in radio flyer wagons, all dressed up, houses decorated a little. Those who want to participate sit outside with a fold out table, pumpkins, costumes etc. if you want your door knocked at, leave the porch light on; if not, leave it off and you don't get bothered.

Rounds made by cops with just their light-bars flashing, everyone had a good time, went home and distributes candy between everyone.

 

It's well-mannered, family fun for the youngsters.

 

If it's going to be done, as OTT as it essentially is here, the hoodies would be stopped and sent home; anyone out and about milling about after about 9 is stopped and questioned.

 

Kids of today, etc etc.
