Can you 'bah humbug' about Halloween? Good

Absolutely bratty kids begging for sweets this year, which was a nice change! And no minichavs egging the house either - possibly because they were all too busy skateboarding around Somerfield in Ludlow with baskets full of eggs and flour...

Last year, when I was living in Newcastle, the house got egged. A lot. Eggs do not make a nice noise when they smash against windows I think we possibly had one lot of kids knocking on the door, but they got ignored.
In 2004 the mad crazy alcoholic neighbours were probably more of a concern than random kids then. I think we had some trick or treaters come round a week early though. I seem to remember telling them not to bother coming back even when they had figured out what day it should be. heh.

2003 though, that was good. Obviously I ignored any knocking on the door, but I do remember one chubby looking girl pressing her face up against the window on the door and shouting "we know you're in there!!11!1". When we continued to ignore it, she burped through the letter box!
We were pissing ourselves laughing at the time, and still do now actually. heh.

Fireworks this weekend. Maybe. They're having a display at the college, but I don't think any of us 'commoners' are invited - we got a flyer through the door about it but it had "IN CASE YOU HAVE ANY ANIMALS TO CARE FOR" written across it in big angry letters so I'm guessing it wasn't a friendly invite! Ah well, I shall watch them anyway and see how well my shiny new camera copes with it. mmm, new camera...
ooh, I should get some sparklers
