Halloween approaches... Love it or loath it?

[darkstar]

no problem with that but do it in their own time and in their own place, not come round to your house and annoy the crap out of you.

Very true, didn't think about trick or treaters.
Maybe electrify your door handle slightly so the trick is on them

I'm a fan of Halloween, it's good fun for kids and an excuses to have a massive house party..
Some people are just miserable, let others have fun if you don't want to!!

If they want fun fine, let them stay at home or if they want to join in this stuipid "tradition" bugger off to America.

Why should kids be allower to intimidate the elderly etc and then if they don't get what they want (money) pelt the house with eggs etc ?

and perhaps rig a shower above the door to go off at the same time as they press that doorbellhandle?

Import of job lot of surplus anti-personnel mines from Bosnia and plant them in the path to the front door?

I love Halloween, me

Last year i came home with loads of sweeties and had only popped down to the Spar for milk. Got the "scariest looking beastie" prize too and wasnt even in fancy dress

top lass!!!!

I loathe it. It's basically a form of institutionalised begging.
They don't want sweets nowadays, they expect money.
I now switch all the lights off at the front of the house and hide in the back. Or I go to Mr Plax's flat and then we only have to put up with the intercom occassionally buzzing, but just ignore that.

I also hate Carol singers. They are the ones that usually catch me unawares and I accidentally open the door to them.

Im with you on both counts

What a bust, only four kids called tonight. What on earth am I going to do with all the:
Jelly Cherries
Cheeky Monkeys
Milk Bottles
Freddie Frogs
and various other fruity chews?
I suppose I could send them to Wiggle.
