What did you do to avoid Halloween?

[Calamity Josh]

Door Bell batteries out, wet paint sign on the front door... simples :thumb:

[turbojolt]

got a bunch of crap in and sat upstairs with my bird watching films

[chrisd1986]

Put a screw behind the letter box so they couldnt push it open and striped cleaned and rebuilt my pitpbike

[mk1nova_rich]

Nearly ran one of the little *******s over lol

[Tanya.]

Nothing, nobody knocks around here lol. I was going to pop a sign on the door just incase asking no one to knock because of the twins but figured there would be some twits that would then knock for the sake of it.

12 hour night shift , with car in a fenced car park in work. I was considering putting one of the little shlts in the boot and kicking them out 30 miles away in the mountains should they try to throw eggs at my car... Thankfully an uneventful journey to work :)

[Jack]

Rain kept them at bay here.

There was a guy on CCUK who made an amazing effort to make a zombie apocalypse setup in his street with the help of a few friends & neighbours - after all the work (including fake 'police warning' flyers lol) he had about 5 kids show up, all of whom were only interested in grabbing some sweets then buggering off lol

[pie]

lol lol

[GRUNT 16V]

went out and watched skyfall great film !!

[mowgli]

i never thought of you as the bill oddie type... birdwatching indeed... you'll be tucking your trousers into red socks & walking in the country with ski poles next

[Spudly]

Signs on the door informing them not to bother knocking as we dont partake in the stupid american tradition, and just didnt bother answering the door when four of the illiterate nobs decided to bang on the door :roll:

[turbojolt]

i dont really have a problem with the origins of where it started (could have sworn it was a pagan ritual type think and didn't that start in Europe :confused:), the reason i dont bother with it all is becuase i dont like kids.

[turbojolt]

and not to forget i did buy loads and loads of sweets for the little ****s when i first moved into my own house, thinking it would get me in the good books with the neighbours and no ****er showed up lol

i had loads and i mean loads aswell, ended up giving most of them to a guy i knows two girls

[Royston]

We moved into the countryside @ 4 years ago, it's dark and spooky round here at night.............












but no Halloweener'slol

I quite like halloween, as i think its one time in the year my neighbors actually interact (only get neighbors on my street knock). Don't see why people would be so anti-Halloween, its not like a religious festival or something? Saw some wicked outfits on friday and saturday night.

ARE YOU ACTUALLY JOKING?????? :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:




All Hallows eve, is basically christmas for the devil, so yes, there is a hell of a lot of religion involved!

[Connor]

Nope, i take it back, never knew it was about that.
But still, im guessing over 50% of the kids have no idea either.

consider that the vast majority of uk children go to church primary schools.... they know exactly what halloween is about..

as i posted last week, halloween was a big thing in the late 70's, then people started getting hold of fireworks & banger throwing was a huge thing... people got maimed. it died out for a good while.

halloweens origins date back to the really early christian church, when they were still trying to convert people away from the heathen traditions, they hijacked the midwinter & spring festivals and created xmas & easter. halloween was an old tradition as the nights the spirits walked.. one thing i don't understand is that the church of england tries to stop it, they have 'light' parties etc, its the same thing as how officially the church frowns on harry potter.... yet the american anglican churches love halloween & have massive parties... the world is odd

[Spudly]

Thats actually shocked me, its about evil and devils and ghosts and that sort of shizzle, fair play you didnt know but, zomg lol

[steviegsi]

I didn't know either. lol . Although to be fair I never thought to look it up. As youngsters it was a generally accepted reason to throw eggs at teachers houses and Police cars. ( certainly not something I'd condone now obviously.)

[Benn]

You bunch of miserable old c**ts! It's a bit of fun, fun to dress up and fun to play about and be/get scared. It's only bad if it's older kids that ruin it.

I love Halloween.

I'd have knocked, then come back later and knocked again.

Good man! Glad it isn't just me that enjoys it.

[Hobbit]

We always get stuck in, as said its just a bit of fun. It cost a couple of quid for some sweets and you get to actually interact with your neighbours, we had a mini stig one year which gave me much Lol'z

Saying that my truck got egg'd last night when I was catching some zzz's, didn't even get the option for treats. lol

[andy_mk3]

Spent the night on euro truck simulator 2 :D

[Jack]

you get to actually interact with your neighbours
One side of mine don't even speak English lol

[mowgli]

its hardly a challenge is it??? hitting a 30' long lump of metal.... did the kids have guide dogs?

[bazzap8389]

Was at work unfortunately, normally have a party to go to

[Hobbit]

Didn't even look, heard a thud, thought good for you and nodded back off. lol Then the day shift tipped up and informed me there was egg shell on the side of the wagon, I just went thought so.

[Southie]

I gave out naan breads last year around my way... also some sweets lol

This year I went away for a few days... Andy I'm in your home town as I type this lol


Laxatives for scrounging sods who knock next year... Around my area the kids don't even dress up so to me they'll get the sh!ts lol

[Jack]

so one side are yokel, and the other side are english?? lol lol
I wish! Mind you if they were yokel it would probably be similar - random window decor, loud unintelligible speech and dubious smelling smoke most weekends. At least if they spoke yokel I'd be able to understand them lol

[mowgli]

there probably isn't enough on street parking for the combine though...lol
