Guest TPAFKATS Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Trick or treat. Give. Me. A. Fecking. Break. Do you live in Paisley? Was that you that answered the door to my daughter and her friends earlier with the immortal line "we dont do halloween" before slamming it shut again.

Stuart Dickson Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've never understood Halloween anyway. Is the nation really that poor that we need to send grubby little children around the doors in the local neighbourhood begging for food? If so why only do it once a year? And why sweets and shit - why not give them a tin of soup, or baked beans - something cheap but nutritious and unlikely to go off too quickly, or damage their teeth? And what is it with the rise of Halloween "decorations" and why do people bother "decorating" if they aren't going to put a bit of effort into it. When I left for work tonight I noticed my next door neighbour had put up some yellow tape on one of their windows saying "Enter if you dare" and outside their window they had what appeared to be a tennis ball covered in a few sheets of soggy kitchen paper which I presume was supposed to represent a ghost of some sort. This is the same family who come Christmas will have at least five lit up reindeer in their front garden and thousands of lights over the front of their house. Either put some effort in to doing in properly or just don't buy the tat and get yourself another reindeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Do you live in Paisley? Was that you that answered the door to my daughter and her friends earlier with the immortal line "we dont do halloween" before slamming it shut again. Don't live in Paisley but I understand the sentiment. I'd only ever allow my kids to go to the doors of people I had taken time to know during the rest of the year and had agreed to take a visit in advance. That just seems like manners to me. So........if someone (let's say the guy at the bottom of my street) blanks me the whole year and then sends his kids to my door on halloween they won't get an answer when they knock. My biggest problem with it is the pathetic copying of all things American regardless of how shite American things usually are. Halloween used to be great but for some reason (and I'd love to know when and why) it all changed about 20 years ago to this embarassing trick or treat pish and now people are afraid to open their doors on 31st Oct. It's total bollox. Edited November 1, 2013 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Limmy aint funny. Shull, in that case you would really hate the famous 'Limmy's xylophone'. I won't post a link because it isn't for the faint-hearted, but you can easily Google it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The serfs did the begging on all saints eve and the local gentry handed out some food and felt better about themselves in a nice christian way.

Kombi Buddie Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Got back from New York this morning, went down to The Village for the New York Halloween Parade It was absolutley brilliant, a bit like county square when St Mirren win a national trophy only 500X the people on the street and many in fancy dress. it's a bit like Eid & Christmas, an occasion for some but not for others.

beyond our ken Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 No guisers at my door this year. Boarding up the windows and spray painting "paedo scum" on the wall seemed to do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
