That's the doorbell disabled then.  Has anyone had any callers yet?

I think I'm becoming a miserable old sod but when I were a lad (que Hovis ad music) we used to at least make the effort and dress up and sing.

Most of them that have been round so far are dressed in tracksuits and stand there mouth gawping with their paw out.

Just the one doorbell ring so far. Didn't answer it.

In recent years we've had none, then one year we had quite a few. Forgot to buy anything this year though so I'm not going to bother answering the door  8)

Im at work,were I at home Id have got some sweets and stuff.They do it properly around our way its all little kids dressed up with Mum stood in the background.Ive no problem with that.Groups of unacompanyed kids over 12 would get told to fuck off though.

Arse. Tempted fate, second ring on the bell. Could hear out the window the mother say, in her finest chavy accent, "nah, dan't fink there's anyone in there Liam, come on next haaase".

It nights like tonight that I'm happy to be a 100 miles from home

none yet, we always stock up on loads of chocolate to give people and they never knock on our door  :evil:

I thought girls like chocolate?

I've just got enough eggs to get Bushey Boy's bungalow cottage thing.

My mate picked me up for footy - he had just been egged, ace! My doorbell hasnt worked for other a year my mates know that so it works a treat on cold callers

I might come and egg you, you deserve a good egging!  :D

Due to the hassle in Calne last year,  they got the fair to keep the chavs/divs entertained.   last year, while I was filling up my car,I was  watching 15 youths looting the garage shop with ease.

I'm just off to the co op now to get some eggs and flour  8)

Eh? why? Just checked no one touched my house, ah well im off out now.  Pub or rouge?!?!  I had a halloween invite - how sad!

some cunt just sprayed shaving foam over my car.

he was about 20 fucking years old so i told him to fuck off and he started spraying it on my car in fron t of me whilst his mate laughed. so i chased him in my pants and slippers :D

I took my boy out earlier for the first time ever as before now i always had to work a halloween gig.
We had a really nice hour, with the rule of only knocking doors with pumpkins lit...  There were loads of really nice houses all decorated with spooky sounds n stuff it was ace! I was really supprised!
I got chocolate in by no one knocked here, next year im gonna dress up!

Theirs one house thats really gone for it in the railway village. Has a huge skeleton hanging outside its house and everything.

Is that the one with the dummy holding a chainsaw hung above the door?

 Probably one of the crack houses down there....just wheeled out someone who Od'd  a while ago.

That's how it is round here, or it was last year anyway, only 1 group this time. Looks like I have a shit load of sweets left over then.

Took my lad dressed as a ghost to one of the neighbours who said we could. Then they didn't answer the door so he got upset (he's 3).

So we went to the shop at the end of the road to buy some sweets instead, they ended up giving him some freebies! I thin that's pretty damn ace. All hail the Juniper shop.

err yeh think so. it has police tape in the windows though, so it might not all be totaly legitimate

Awww poor little lad :(

He''s happy now he has more sweets! And we did 'trick or treat' at our own door.

It's all about the sweets with him, not how you get them.

What a waste of a day this thing is. I'm so glad no one knocks on my door. In fact they probably get put off by my goatie  :mrgreen:

Keep any chickens as well Rich?

They tried to make me do apple bobbing at work today. I told them to politely fuck off.

Then we had to do a quiz which was anagrams of Stephen King films. I'd never heard of any of them! (The Tommyknockers?!?!)

They had a pumpkin carving competetion and a competition for best decorated team.

All supposedly in aid of staff motivation. I thought it was all a load of tosh.

On the plus side, I won a bag of sweets for answering that Yvette Fielding used to be a presenter of Blue Peter. Fuck knows what that has to do with Hallowe'en.

A man after my own heart.

My advice to my children answering the door to various red eyed drugged or pissed up thirteen year olds begging for protein tonight was to douse them in petrol, say "Trick!" and then toss them a lighted match.

Bah humbug.

I meant Si Pie not you  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  you can stop sending me threatening text messages now  :wink:  :D

I think the tenuous Yvette Fielding link has something to do with a TV show called Ghost Hunters which she presents (or at least used to).

Its been dull here. Although Hallowe'en is technically today, they organise events in various areas, meaning the police round up all the known deviants for the night, and let the kids roam around (supervised of course) without fear. For us it was last night, and no callers. To be fair, we're a little off the beaten track though.

Its called Most Haunted

i saw that today! I'd have thought it would scare little kids! The police tape stuff said 'warning spooky house' or something along those lines, only had 2 tonight but don't answer the door.

Your right, why did I think it was called that????? Dumb shit (me that is.... :mrgreen: )

Probably because the American rip-off version which is on SciFi all night is called Ghost Hunters....

The Tommyknockers is ace, Sam. Shame on you.

5 rings in total, none answered, happy with that.

Back to school tomorrow kids!

Sorry Birdy, I will still egg your house though!

Walked throufgh west swindon, no issue with 10 year olds, but one group of 15 year olds (about 8 of them) at someones house is fucked up.  Get a job you cunts!

Did anyone get a battering then ?

No one came to my door, It might have something to do with the shot gun poking through the letter box and me playing with the chainsaw at the botom of the garden and i kid you not!

I was at the cinema so no idea if anyone called.  I'm not massively child friendly as they just annoy me so much however some did look quite cute all dressed up.

I went out to the woodlands edge to avoid it, although I took my nephew last year which was good fun... My mum normally buys loads of stuff for the kids, we have quite a lot around here but she wasn't in either so our house was a bit naff this year.

We didn't get many last year, and we were going out at about 7, so I bought a big tin of Celebrations, and one of Quality Street (on offer in tesco, 2 for £10) and thought we'd have loads of nice chocolates to scoff for the next few weeks.

However, the little buggers came out in force, and by the time we had to go out early to make sure we still had some chocolate left. I'm sure all the different groups were meeting in the middle of the street to tell eachother how number 55 were giving out loads of nice stuff.

I didnt have any proper trick or treaters last night - about half eight I could see gang of about 8 lads in hoodies stood on my drive trying to find the front door (our only door is right round the back) they eventually wandered round and banged on the patio door but none of them were dressed up so I polietly told them to go away but they tooks ages to go and were loitering around out the front for ages and I had to open the window and ask them again to go - I saw some of them had boxes of eggs and I was really worried they were going to come back and egg our cars/house - It was actually a bit horrible - I can kind if see why old people hate Halloween.

I thought I had got out of the ghettos when I moved out of Calne   :|

No one came to my door I had my extenable baton ready to chase themoff with and everything, alas no knock.

I love kids. If she's old enough to bleed...

First floor flat  :D

No trick or treaters.
