indeed. i remember a group of kids last year (who weren't even in costume) turned their noses up at sweets... and demanded 'cash only', instead. that sort of thing pisses me right off. wjp66639019.8615856481

There ought to be a sixth form girls Haloween party, I'd be all for that.  I'd give them sweets... and things.


I've got a record by a group called Helloween

I just had a little boy knock on my door asking trick or treat, I told him it's not Halloween yet and if he comes back Tuesday I may have something for him. He said he won't be here Tuesday so i just said sorry I only do trick or treat on halloween night not before.


He went next door and she said she had 3 of them!

You should have had him in and given him a cup of tea or something you Scrooge.

If you invited a child in for a cup of tea in this day and age, you'd probably find yourself either accused of being a paedo, or the subject of a compensation claim because the tea was too hot and they burnt their mouth.

According to today's news, 'nuisance kids' who go trick or treating could be prosecuted under anti-social behaviour awards.

I live in a fairly quiet cul-de-sac so I can only imagine what people in cities and on estates have to deal with.


Looking out of my bedroom window yesterday afternoon I saw 2 local boys (about 10 years old) accidentally kick a football into an elderly neighbour's garden. It was about 5pm so it was almost dark. The neighbour was either out or ignoring the knocks at the door. The boys threw stones at the windows, tried three different ways of climbing into the garden, and when they realised if they climbed in they wouldn't be able to climb out again, they spat over the fence and broke 3 bits off the fence. I am in no doubt they will be back.


These are the same kids who will be around tomorrow trick or treating. If they think I am ignoring them they are bound to do something to my car / house / fence / garden. If I open the door I have to give them something. Why should we have to reward such menaces?

I watched the film but I guess there must have been sound (at work we don't have soundcards) so I didn't really get what it was about.

Hmm... maybe it gets more exciting as it goes on, but I lost the will to live after a couple of minutes.

it's a quirky little film, but it does drag a bit.

I've already had two lots of agressive door-knockers. I was in the middle of cooking my evening meal. I just ignored them but wanted to yell out "f**ck OFF!!!"
