That the "popular" posters on here are often rude.

[dancerchancer]

I won't mention names but some of them seem to be popular for....not a lot really. Certain people come to mind who have a reputation for being straight talking and funny but most of the time I don't see it. I find them rather disagreeable tbh. Is it just me?

Oops. Was trying out some combinations and accidentally posted instead of previewing

REALLY? [agog]

Blimey. Surely Halloween is for everyone, not just tiny children? If someone has come to my door, dressed/made up in halloween toggery and does the spiel then they get sweets and decorated clementines, the lucky things. Doesn't matter if they're 5, 15 or 50.

I feel your pain Thumb I have DD1's birthday this week, DD3's on the 5th of Dec and then Christmas - I start buying after DD2's birthday in July!

yes and will NO ONE think of the OLD FOLK - they get scared of all the begging teens

They can have a spooky clementine too, ghosty.

Maryz. Wasn't sure how you leapt from my "foot affliction escaped from a lab" to Trick or Treating.

Although, the young folk these days. A sheety ghosty may not be feeble.

Happy Halloween ????????

Oh no I found a whole range of smilies on my iPad keyboard of pumpkins and stuff. They obviously don't work!

How can that be a thing? You just put a polite notice up saying No T or Ts please. Job done.

Maybe they are too young to read?

Will no one think of the chidren?

But hully that would be too easy. If everyone did that then there would not be eleventy million threads complaining about trick or treaters

My faves are the pissed adults who put a mask on and stagger about on the doorstep. Although I like the pissed adult carol singers best of all.

To reach our front door you have to open our gate, go down 2 steps from the pavement, along a very short path then up 2 steps to our front door.

Tis a veritable assault course for pissed up adults trying to wield a scythe or pitchfork on Halloween. There have been accidents...

If you like, you're very welcome to come and sit in our living room and spectate Hully

How do I put Santa hats on my faces? I wasn't around last mismas. I only know basic faces and bunny ears.

buffy we're in the centre of the village, opposite the village shop - so prime location for Trick & Treaters.

This year both our DDs are elsewhere, T & Ting in other villages so DH and I plan on going out for dinner [bah bumbug]

Unless Hully deigns to visit of course

that is v kind, skandi. Will there be blood?

why not buffy?

I love trick or treaters. I have a big bag of sweets and I wear a really terrifying mask. I have the light off in the porch and I open the front door really slowly and shout Boo!

Sometimes there are tears but I say it is all part of the fun.

Well, not necessarily blood as such...but plenty of prat falls, muttered swearing and some nasty chaffing.

Honestly we've spent many a happy hour watching people inadvertently nearly impale themselves on our gate, having tripped up the path steps...but it all adds to the sense of excitement and danger of Halloween.

The span of childhood to enjoy such things is so brief isn't it?

DD was terrified of T & T'ers when she was weeny, then had a couple of years were she enjoyed it but no one came to the door then a couple of years when she went out with friends, and now of course she fnds it beneath her.

A little girl tried to sell me a kitten from underneath her black bin liner one year.

[santa]

binary teach me how to do that!!!!

exit wtf? Seriously? Why did she have a kitten in her bin liner?

Goodness knows.

Making the most of every opportunity obviously.

The child has probably gone far.
