Someone at work has just given me another idea. When the oiks decline my offer of an impromptu Sunday School lesson, I could chase them down the path shouting the passage that Samuel L Jackson's character uses in Pulp Fiction.

"THE PATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS MAN IS BESET ON ALL SIDES WITH THE INIQUITIES OF THE SELFISH AND THE TYRANNY OF EVIL MEN. BLESSED IS HE WHO IN THE NAME OF CHARITY AND GOOD WILL SHEPHERDS THE WEAK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DARKNESS, FOR HE IS TRULY HIS BROTHER'S KEEPER AND THE FINDER OF LOST CHILDREN. AND I WILL STRIKE DOWN UPON THOSE WITH GREAT VENGEANCE AND WITH FURIOUS ANGER THOSE WHO ATTEMPT TO POISON AND DESTROY MY BROTHERS. AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT MY NAME IS THE LORD WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON THEE."

That should brighten up their Halloween.

i dont do halloween except that here in america where we now live it is massive. so i am staying in and not doing it and the wife is going to go out with the kids to a couple of houses of friends that we know. still not overly happy about that!!

I personally hate the whole thing, as I see as begging, you try do it on any other day of the year and you’ll get told to f**k off.

Especially as it’s more older kids around hear were even if they’re not happy at what they get they still egg and flour, stone smash etc everything in sight and the local doughnut munches (live next to one with two little *******) don’t care as there’s nothing they can do as there normally under age, could be anyone etc.

I can pretty much guarantee that either one of the minis will be missing bits of trim of covered in eggs, flour or that bloody silly string.

Borrow friends car, spot treaters in distance, wind windows down, take catapult, load ammo (water bomb/egg/tomatoe), sit on bottom of door window frame and hang out of the car, take aim and conduct a drive by tricking! Did it a few years back when I was at College and drove around Reading for hours. It was good fun.

Last year some little blighter set a firework off in the back of my Landy and put a ball bearing through my normal car's windscreen. I suppose that could just be karma's revenge though? Little 's!

Is it me or are trick or treaters (and carol singers come to think of it) getting older and using the event just to gain what ever is going?

Oh, and Wish You a Merry Xmas is NOT a carol. Any carol singer caught singing that at my door gets no rewards

I don't think there's an age limit to carol singing , and that tends to be for charity, even if it does make your ears bleed....

we are in the middle of no where and dont see any kids

our only neighbours are chickens

Me and a couple of mates usually dress in old raggy clothes, put on some white makeup and those fake scars you can buy or make out of that play oh type stuff, then go and sit by the grave yard with a few beers.

When people walk past we just start acting like zombies and climbing over the wall.

Last year we scared the local chavs, and the one kid froze on the spot and then a wet patch appeared on his jean!!

Not so "solid" now are ya!!

Awwww I'm glad I spent my afternoon making 20 toffee apples and drawing faces on a bag of satsumas so they look like mini pumpkins!

Had my first litle devil and a girl in a fairy costume knock about two minutes ago.... can't have been more than five years old and they actually seemed chuffed with their fruity treats!

Amy, you are either due for a Sainthood, or you're witch in the forest who lives in a gingerbread cottage who is due for a slow basting at gas mark 4 for several hours.

Which is it?

i think shes getting broody and wants babies

Hah! That's so obvious even my postman knows about it!




Juju... I was bored at my Mum's this afternoon (I babysit my Niece on a Wednesday - so we go to Granny's) I couldn't get a Pumpkin anywhere, they'd all sold out, even in the gigantic Tesco we have here! So I decided to make toffee apples instead......

Simon still thinks we're pretending to be out tonight, so he'll get a shock when he gets in to find all the candles lit in the fireplace, with piles of treats on the coffee table. It's quite spooky in here now
