[Other Sport] Halloween

Halloween ?

It's just deliveroo for peados

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I find Halloween a bit strange. I'm 39 years old and don't remember ever doing anything for Halloween when i was young. Where has it come from?

It started after the film ET became popular and kids wanted to copy what they’d seen. Manufacturers cottoned on and made it more and more commercial.

All Hallows’ Eve, and I shall be looking forward to the next day All Saints Day.

Hardly a big day is it

After Christmas I'd say it's one of the biggest festivals of the year, probably bigger than Easter now.

It should effectively be cancelled due to you know what, however, supermarkets have invested heavily in toxic sweets and plastic costumes so its full speed ahead.

All for the good of the economy of course. Plus we all know Covid stops temporarily for Halloween just like the Christmas cease fire in WWI.

Never was when I was a child. About time we made Nov 5th special again, not this idiot date, but the problem being is the American influence and the CJTCs that want to ban fireworks.

I don't think it is that people want Nov 5th Fireworks banned - it is when they start in mid-October and go on for four weeks.

Why do people love to get upset about Halloween? Round our way it's pretty well known that if you put decorations out you're participating and kids can trick or treat at your house. If you dont't have a pumpkin out, then you're left alone. Do you all live in areas that have been too stupid to work this out?

Or where kids need drumsticks or fruit salads that much they ignore the signs then luzz eggs at your car?

So it's Capitalism they want banned then?

Kids look forward to begging strangers for sweets? OK.

Its probably a bit different where I live to be fair, in small rural villages we all tend to know each other so aren’t strangers. Yes the kids really look forward to it.

I look forward to having a five-a-side (plus a sub) against the Covids

I'm in my early fifties and I always went trick or treating with my mates. We absolutely loved it. I'm surprised how many younger people on here never partook. I've got four kids and they all really enjoy it too, although I never let them go unsupervised as I did. Begging? People need to chill out, it's just kids having fun. I love to see them enjoying themselves and they're welcome to my door.

I am hosting a Halloween Quiz night at our local.
Fancy dress optional, emphasis on fun and questions not that hard, some games and prizes included.
Usually a good irreverant laugh and my wages is a bar tab..........hic !

And no doubt as all public displays of fireworks have been cancelled this year the parasites at the supermarket will help people have large gatherings at home by selling fireworks, probably more in stock this year too!

The government should ban the sales of fireworks this year
