Re: hypocritical neigbours

Around my way they'd have drunk the paraffin .....

Do you have to go through the government's new vetting scheme before you can open the door to children T or T ing ???

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!

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

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 s*it 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.

They wont be out next year ... Gordon Brown will have them all working down the pits to pay of the huge debts he's racked up.

O Cheers !!!!! Just slurping a nice mouthful of cheap vino when I read your reply and the next second I'm having to clean my monitor of slightly warmed wine!

A bit of warning next time my dear chap.

"blow s*it up(tm)" - umm sounds like someone has been killing zombies in COD WAW

You're obsessed with your neighbours. Either move or grow a thicker skin.

The (probably) teenage skeleton that called last night did not look impressed when I tossed a Tesco Value 'Penguin' biscuit into his bucket.

Next year I shall try to remember to put a dummy on the hall floor, have a wire to pull the front door open unseen and another wire to roll the head of the dummy onto the floor. I can trip the close lights remotely too so it all goes completely dark.

Owain

Seems to be.

Same here. Them were't days.

If/when I can be bothered to answer the door and they ask 'trick or treat' I usually tell them I'll have a treat. Causes much head scratching and confusion...

Pumpkins are a lot easier to scoop the insides out of!!

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

He's a terrible fellow. He's done that on more than one occasion to me! :)

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

There she blows ?!?

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.
