An excuse for tight fisted parents to send their kids out to stock up on sweets for the next 6 months.
Just answered the door to a brother and sister combo, placed some haribos into the girl’s £1.99 B & Q orange bucket and the little brother’s helping himself by delving into the fun Halloween plate of sweets I’ve got in my hand.
Absolute hell.
Sorry im on mobile and messed up quote. Does anybody remember apple bobbin? Im not that old and when i said today i used to do apple bobbin in a bucket of water i was looked at like a cunt. It annoyed me
halloween now is very americanised but the kids like it and as long as you are only knocking at houses that are clearly participating then i don't see the problem2 -

Bobbing for apples is like a training for water boarding but was lots of fun.
trick or treating round here is a big thing between 5-7 and the kids only go to houses that have the pumpkins out and that. They enjoy it.My son went to a friends this year to have a Halloween party and do trick or treating and so this year, as I didn’t have him last weekend I didn’t do anything and I missed it.He went as Thor which I don’t get, bit American for me, I think more trad ghoulish is the way to go but if the kids have fun and don’t pester the bah humbugs I think it’s a fun thing for the kids and no issue at all.
friends of mine won’t let their kids participate because it’s a pagan thing, the day of the dead and they see themselves as proper Christian. I think that’s bollocks.2 -
It might be a Thor point but surely it would be a bit too Norwegian for you?Alwaysneil said:Bobbing for apples is like a training for water boarding but was lots of fun.

What really pissed me off was when my wife was in the maternity ward having our daughter, there was a skanky, pregnant woman outside the door puffing away on a reefer with her scummy old man.Carter said:
Nah, there is a blanket smoking ban on NHS grounds for a good reason. Its fucks me off beyond belief when I see people being wheeled barely outside the doors smokinggolfaddick said:
That's they're right. Obviously if they are in for cancer treatment then they should be refused entry back onto the ward, but they could be in for almost any other treatment not linked to smoking.Blackheathboy said:Been visiting my dad this week in hospital, get to the main entrance and a few patients are stood outside smoking, seething doesn’t come close .
There is an argument that if you are dying of emphysema of lung cancer then you can probably call smokings bluff and tuff away all you want but smokers outside the hospital doors (we were talking about Editors yesterday funnily enough) is the ultimate show to the world of inconsiderationI’m no prude but it annoyed me that their poor kid probably didn’t have a chance in life and hadn’t even been born.0 -
Tell 'em they shouldn't celebrate xmas either if that's their thinking. Keep their stinking nativity out of our festival.Alwaysneil said:Bobbing for apples is like a training for water boarding but was lots of fun.

We were living at my mums last Halloween due to building works at ours and it was such a lovely evening. Loads of kids out with their parents having fun, most houses in the neighbourhood had embraced it, had displays out and welcomed kids to knock. The unwritten rule that everyone adhered to was not to knock on houses that had no displays.Stig said:
I used to be all bah humbug about it and it made me miserable. Then I had a change of heart. It's actually good fun. The kids that knocked on my door tonight were all very polite and it was nice to say hello to the parents that were escorting them. Go with it, its far more fun than hiding yourselves away.ross1 said:
At the end of the day, it is just begging. It is not for a good charity and in my mind to send young children out on a dark night, knocking on doors of strangers, sometimes without adults around is asking for trouble.

Just listening to last Sundays Charlton Live radio show. 10 mins in & straight after the highlights bit Louis Mendez asks the others on the studio what they thought about the game. First person said...." wasnt there but followed it on...."
wtf...?? Why bother talking about what happened (sending off & penalty especially) if you went even there. Might as well ask my old man for his views. He weren't there either.0 -
Told my two that next year we're cutting out the middle man by staying in and I'll give them a bucket of sweets eachross1 said:

Sports presenters making things sound rarer than they are. 'England's first world cup final in 12 years' The world cup is every 4 years so we've only missed out on the last two opportunities!7

Completely agree with this one, we've made 3 of the last 5 finals so don't make it sound like we've been struggling!bolloxbolder said:Sports presenters making things sound rarer than they are.

You can bet the BBC Match Preview against Millwall will mention its been 20 odd years since we last beat Millwall
Yes, we've only been in the same league for about eight of them!!0 -
On Sky Sports News yesterday they mentioned that it was Liverpool's first League Cup quarter final since 2016, imagine being able to remember that far back...7

I remember when we won at Rotherham 4-1 in the 15/16 season, plenty of outlets saying it was our first win there since 1963. We'd only played them once there since! It's not as though we'd tried and failed every year up until then! Can't stand those cheap meaningless stats.bolloxbolder said:Sports presenters making things sound rarer than they are.

If the person doesnt put the sign down then just sneak said items amongst their shopping for maximum (and deserved) embarrassment5 -

“Moving escalators” at airports.
Are they there to speed people up at airports or are they there so you can just stand and move without walking?
I do not know but unless you are physically impaired, just bloody walk, we are designed to do so and we have been sitting down on a plane for hours, so stretch your legs.Don’t just stand there talking to someone next to you blocking my way. You have been next to said person for 3 hours on a plane, Just speak to them on the plane.

Ive said 'full time mummys' on Facebook before, but the ones that have to tell you every little detail of their day with a status are even worse.
'Just changed the bed sheets and Arthurs been sick everywhere'

These mums always tell us how busy they are multi-tasking so how come they've got time to post?2

The anti Muslim shite that springs up at various times of the year. Ive been served beer at Ramadan, bacon with my breakfast and celebrated Christmas all in the Maldives and with Muslim people. These people who try to poison peoples minds f*** me right off.6
