feel the same matey,******* kids begging for sweets-its gonna go 1 of 2 ways this year

1-open the door and when asked "trick or treat" i shall reply "treat" and take the bag of goodies off the spotty little oik and shut the door

2-open the door and when asked "trick or treat" i shall provide them with a treat from my cupboards..................either a spanish onion,a can of tuna or some gravy powder......................that should ensure the little *******s dont come back next year

Our house looks so amazing that people are coming from all over to see it. If anyone knocks before tomorrow I will give them something if they are young enough,

NOT A JIMMY SAVEL SPECIAL But some mums may not be able to get out tomorrow.
I have 5kilo's of sweets for the little beggers.... last kid will get the rest of the pot.

I have a tub of Haribos that must be five years old minimum. It contains liquorice and the brown colouring has permeated just about everything around it. My mission is to disperse it by this time tomorrow evening

I've got a packet of wine gums at home that someone kindly brought me upon visiting me for dinner at mine. Those wine gums will come handy tomorrow night. 30 wine gums should cater for 30 pseudo-frighetening creatures at 1 each. They'll have to do with it.

Wine gums for a dinner party? I'd have liked to have heard Dave Lamb's thoughts on that...

Well, people usually turn up empty-handed here for dinners, Tel. They don't even offer to wash the dishes at the end, you know. It is beside the point whether I have a dishwasher or not. Not that I expect any of that, but it is a matter of etiquette IMO. That wine gum carrier even knew I'm not into sweets. And what did they do? They got me the worst sweet on this planet. I had to put a false smile on my face, and say- "Thanks, you shouldn't have bothered".

I am obliged to give those horrible sweets away to the little freaks tomorrow night.

Luckily I'm 2-10 tomorrow so I think I'll bring the car to work to save from the usual ensuing egging ritual

if you want to wash dishes at the end of a dinner party, you do it after the guests have left

ultra naff to ask for help or god forbid do it whilst people are still eating/drinking

seriously, no wonder this country is going down the sh1tter

This is what always worries me nowadays. So, I simply won't be answering the door and hope anyone that does knock, just thinks we're not in.

Pick and mix for the little ones with adult supervision, and the fresh batch of toffee onions for anybody giving me aggro.

Anyone doing that^ is an uncultured cave-dweller. I agree with you 100%, but
when did I say 'during', huh?

I actually said in my post 19- "They don't even offer to wash the dishes at the end, you know". By that, what I was trying to say that it would be nice if the guests offered some help e.g. wash the dishes at the end out of politeness, even when they know that their good host would decline, anyway.

I do have some good-as-gold friends as my guests. They'd help me after the dinner with the dishes (vice' versa, if I were their guest). I'd actually wash the dishes, but they'd still insist upon drying them and putting them away. Along with doing this task, We'd continue to sip our wine, and chat some interesting stuff. After doing the task, we'd join back the group for our collective convos.

Conclusion: Country is not going to go to the sh!tez because of the guests extending a helping hand to the host.

Now, about Halloween, I wonder if that trick-a-treat sows the seeds of irrationalism in young generation. I mean, it enforces the behaviour- "if you don't give me what I want (something as pathetic as sweets), I am going to egg your car". They don't even think (perhaps they don't know) that eggs are better food than stupid sweets. Now on that, you can say that no wonder the country is going to the sh!tterz.

Personally, I am all for Halloween. My kids, when they were little, had a great time doing this Halloween drama. They never egged anyone’s car after receiving rejection. They simply walked away. I must go out to get more sweets for the little scary things. Bless them.

My missus is into it but when the door goes she goes "you go will you", grrr

I like to hide behind the door and open it whilst holding the (quite small) Dog and let him put his head round first so it looks like a small dog with 5 foot legs, the kids love it and to be fair i dotn mind an evening where lots of women come to the door, pity about all the potty goblins in bin bags.

I hide behind the door with a scary mask on, and go 'boo' to them. The ungrateful little shwitz tell me that I don't need a mask to look scary. Barsturds.
