Remember those neigbours of mine, the ones that put that scaffild pole based
lamp post at the end of the drive so i cant get my motorhome out,

they didnt put it there to stop me getting my van out it seems, they put it
there so they could tie a rope to it and the wall on the other side of their
drive, and hang a sign saying 'no trick or treaters' off the rope!!!!

fair enough i thought when i saw it, not everyone wants kids knocking on the
door all the time demanding sweets, but most people put the sign on their
door, maybe next door are so anal about their drive now they can't bear the
thought of a few kids walking up it to read a sign on the door.


But what really got me was... i've just got back in from walking the dog,
****s are letting fireworks off so she's ****ting her self, i stop at the
end of the next road along to try and calm her down, and i see 2 adults with
a young kid going from house to house, kid is dressed up as a witch, they
are trick or treating,


can you guess who it was yet??

yup, those same neigbours who dont want kids begging for sweets off them are
only too happy to do it them selves.

the sign is still on the rope at their house, and untill half an hour ago
they were in,
i'm not going to do owt, but i am sorely tempted to egg their house and
pretend it was some disgruntled trick or treaters who didnt like their sign,
or maybe change the sign for one that reads 'beware of the misearble ****s'

damn, i'm out of parafin, but it'd make a pretty candle i rekon, go with all
the rockets the ****s are letting off atm.

i wish they had used chain, then i could have welded it to the pole whilst
they were out begging for sweets,
maybe a dribble of superglue on the knots would be an idea.

Round our way, if you are welcoming T or T -ers you put out a pumpkin or
somesuch Halloweeny decoration, and the other houses are left alone.

Is this pumpkin idea an Americanism? It used to be turnip lanterns
when I was young.

It all just seemed (seems!) to be noisy fireworks tonight anyway.
Hopefully they'll all be used up by 5 Nov.... Some chance!

We had about 8 groups of well-mannered trick or treaters tonight.

Then someone appears to have sprayed(?) hairspray(?) / paraffin(?)
into our large gatepost pumpkin to "blow **** up"(tm). Impressive
flare, we saw it from the house, but the pumpkin survived. I'm just
hoping that their shellsuit caught light and there's a scorched chav
somewhere, face down in the rhene and smouldering slightly.

That's the best excuse I've heard yet. Must remember it for next year.


They wont be out next year ... Gordon Brown will have them all working down

Same here. Them were't days.

If/when I can be bothered to answer the door and they ask 'trick or

I suspect "local council" would work better. Planners usually take a dim
view of individuals erecting their own street furniture.

Dip partly cooked sprouts into melted chocolate and, when cooled and
hardened, wrap up as Ferrero Rocher. That should see the buggers off.

I can't work out why he thinks he should be able to drive over his
neighbours property in the first place.

He would be in real trouble if he moved here as there are restrictive
covenants that say you can't park on the road and you can't park anything
that doesn't fit in the garage on your drive.

It stops people having monstrosities like mobile homes all over the place.

I have to agree.

Even on the basis of his own description of how he has behaved, he is
the neighbour from Hell. I suspect the whole truth would paint an
even worse picture.

It would be interesting to have the neighbours' viewpoint. I feel
quite sorry for them.

Well I am a miserable ******* and I do not want to be bothered by loads of

So on Halloween I just **** off down to the pub as soon as it gets dark.

And people who light fireworks are not ****s.

Sounds horrible - glad I don't live with a covenant like that.

Technically our bit of the road does have a covenant dating from 50 years
back: things like no caravans, travelling fairs, no business conducted save
that of doctor, solicitor, nurse, midwife, accountant...

In essence "no gypsies"

But we generally ignore it as no one really cares anymore. We're normal

I was at a party last night that had a fancy dress competition. One
guy's daughter is a make-up artiste, and she did him with a rather good
white face, blacked out eyes, and some green blotches. He'd just put on
the black cape and picked up his axe ready to go to the party when the
doorbell rang.

Apparently he got a real scream from one of the kids!
