I shan't be 'up to' anything for Halloween. I will not play along with this commercialised non-event designed to put my hard-earned cash into retailers' pockets.

 

I shall, quite simply, pour acid over any trick-or-treaters knocking on my door.

Sounds just like what i'll be doing, only water and not acid.

 

Imagine going trick or treat and being handed a bag of weed, mmm....................

 

ps: make a pumpkin

As I have kids, I shall be going out with them as a minder so if anyone pours acid on them, I will write them a strongly worded letter.

Here in an Islamic Society, such a festival of Pagan traditions is of course frowned upon so Trick or Treat is only carried out by around 98% of the younger generation.

 

Of course, as a result of wishing to feel culturally aware, we use AK47's on the Trick or Treater's rather than the more environmentally unfriendly acid approach.

 

However this year the general feeling is that we may actually kill two birds with one stone and use some of the spare sewerage that is floating around the beaches and more lately suburban roads.

 

Meanwhile we have Paul Weller in concert that evening so I'm working on blagging a freebie ticket, as I think it is well worth the effort needed to grovel and use up favours in order to see a legend.

We've arranged a kids party at the pub.

 

Unsure of what games to play as yet, but might make some up involving pouring acid on the kids :smt102

 

How about bobbing for chips??

Why are we so keen to adopt American "traditions". We have plenty of our own.

I will be out with my 14 month old nipper who will be dressed as a scarry pumpkin.

 

He will be asking for cans of lager as his treat.

 

Dressing kids as a slashed up pumpkin is just wrong.

Amazing, takes a bit to load up but I thought it was worth it, pics towards the bottom.

I tell thee what, if you had a few bob and good negotiation skills, the city of Varosha, Cyprus would be worth a punt investing in. If you could get the Turks who chased everyone out of it to hand it over, and you re-invested making it a good tourist place, you would earn a killing. Sell the commercial property on for a cheap ish amount for a return of share in takings (pubs/clubs etc) you'd be laughin!

Hallowe'en, or Samhain to give it it's correct name, is about as American as kissing the Blarney stone or tossing the caber.

I did actually highlight the "trick or treat" bit. The marking of All Hallows Eve is certainly not American.
