Having just seen that killjoy "family values" woman on Close Up, I can now say with certainty that I am all for this valuable link to our pre-christian past.

The neighbours' kids costumes were great too.

The fact that she was 8 years old didnt worry you?

Yeah but she had the body of a 7 year old...

I'm 100% with Donor on this one.





Perhaps a good trick may be to give the kids demanding lollies a bar of laxative chocolate each.....

Seeing the number of Curmudgeonly comments in here, it almost gives one hope for this country. Now if we only change the law back so that we could thrash the little bastids...

Grumpy Cahnts unite!!

When I was young, we were all too busy blowing things up in early November to have time for other amusements. Now that Guy Fawkes has been bowdlerised and emasculated , kids naturally have lost interest.

Your middle name isn't Guy by any chance is it

I remember scaring buggery out of them with my Boba Fett outfit last year I'd rock up to the door with the whole ensemble and watch their little eyes bug out ... and its great when they get over their shock and ask for some treats ... if they haven't run away by them!

If they do, then I give them all the old mouldering lollies festering away in the back of the pantry!

Now that's a classic. I've sometimes wondered about having a horrendously scary costume all set to go to frighten the bejeepers out of them. I'd love to see them take off in terror when trying to con me out of treats. But that's just cos Im a meanie too.

Great idea. We had a little turd last year that knocked and decided that we didn't get to the door quickly enough so TRIED THE DOOR.Little cnut.I fucking hate Halloween. I fail to see why I should subsidise the lolly intake of the local reprobates.

I can't stand it either - just another American import reeking of consumerism. Rant done.

Speaking of Jack o' Lanterns....scope this one out.......

Now THAT would be a scary costume to frighten away the neighbourhood scroungers mwahahahahahaha Now off to find my body paint....

I've got kids coming over for a party - watch a scary movie and pig out on treats. They will have fun and not end up knocking on doors.

Lots of parties happening for the late teens and early 20's tonight.

Just a bit of fun for the young ones.

Great idea AllanB, let them have their celebration and fun at home. That way they can have their costumes, food, etc. etc. without disturbing others who don't want any part of Halloween (except maybe mum and dad who have to host it!)

I'm with Donor too Pussy. I like your idea as well, just make sure Gassit Girl doesn't accidentally use them to make icing for the banana cake

What precisely IS that child doing to the reverend gentleman ?

[alanzs]

Nah, this is Papakura east, they'd just tag my fence, torch my car and rape my cat...

You should kill your cat and hang it in front of the door. It'll scare the little kids off...

[Swoop]

What precisely IS that child doing to the reverend gentleman ?

Obviously earning his sweets.

[Deano]

Bah humbug eh ?

What a bunch of wankers.

I just had 5 teen hotties at my door.....I gave them each a couple of lollipops asking if they had been good girls.

They said yes except for the deviant looking one with horns.

I then asked if they had any good tricks ? What are you meant to do huh ?

[slofox]

Fooken oath Deano..........what a bunch of miserable coonts. I look forward to Halloween, seeing the kids happy makes my day

Halloween brings out a level of intolerence and hysteria that never fails to astound me. Alas, the days of neighbourhood community spirit appear to be a distant memory.

From my own childhood (back in the 60's), I remember playing in the street with my neighboorhood pals, and knowing all the people in the street - even the ones without kids of their own. It was a community, with the trust and tolerance that grows from shared lives.

My wife grew up on the other side of the world, but her childhood memories are similar.

The world has changed. Contempt and mistrust have replaced the community co-operation. It is no longer socially acceptable for children to talk to their adult neighbours - and intolerable for those adults to interact with those children.

Halloween could be a chance to break down those barriers. A ceremony where the children can indulge in fancy-dress, and parade around their neighbours, with perhaps the reward of a lolly or two.

Ah well.
