Annoyance today, that even after a year of telling our salesman what we need on certain paperwork & how important it is, the stupid f***wits still don't listen to a word you say & still balls it up spectaculary :evil:

Not only that, something you arranged as a favour for a manager, whose on holiday in the caribbean, goes completely wrong because he buggered it up in the first place & you end up with a full A4 sheet email on a load of things that need correcting, even though you've nothing to do with it in the first place and is not part of your job anyway :evil: :evil: :evil:

Ah that felt good to get that off my chest :lol:

Halloween is annoying me. Well, not actually Halloween - more Trick or Treat, and the totally false idea that Halloween and Trick or Treat are somehow the same thing.

I've actually caved this year - instead of my usual resolute non-participation in the whole obscene practice (you can't call something thats this recent a tradition) I have bought a load of sweets to throw at anyone who knocks on the door tonight. With any luck it'll all be over by 7.30.

Isn't it the oldest date celebrated on the calender still. All souls, hallows or what ever it is, start of Winter, death and all that. If you don't want people knocking put up a sign. The Police are issuing them here, "No Trick, No treat, No Thanks, have a good night" or something.

The kids are looking forward to a party in the village, which is great, I am happy they are happy.

My tradition on this day has been upheld and I have made my Christmas Cakes ! ( we all had a stir and made a wish )

Trick or treating is just like begging, it should be avoided, especially in a village, that's why I am happier we get to go to a party.

My boss was saying today that Terry Wogan was talking about Halloween and someone apparently text in to say he would be coating brussel sprouts in chocolate and handing those out, which I think is a brilliant idea if you can be bothered.

Luckily I am on the first floor, so I won't be getting trick or treaters!

Yes i believe it is - and the sign thing is what I usually do, but its actually quite stressful because they knock anyway, the little arseholes. Anyway, I have sweets this year - it's caving in like I said, but it'll all be over in a couple of hours....

I live in the middle of nowhere, so if we get any trick or treaters, it means they're REALLY determined...

If we forgot, my mum would put up a sign saying we'd been away and forgotten to get some sweets in, but Happy Halloween, anyway. The local people tended to stay away because of that...they knew that we would have given them had we had any cos they knew us.

I'm annoyed as I missed HIGNFY last night which had the legend that is Tom Baker presenting & judging by the webisode on you tube it was f***ing hilarious.

Thankfully it's on tonight & it's extended to about 45-50 minutes :D

Well, seeing as how for the first time since we've lived here not a single trick-or-treater knocked on the door last night, I think I have finally discovered how to keep them away!

Sweetie anyone? I've got LOADS!

I was told of a really good way to deter trick or treaters knocking on your door.

Place a pair of Sparkly knee length boots by the front door, they'll all think Gary Glitter has moved in, and go very quickly.

Bedum Tish.

Good luck Mr Boboff, my missus keeps trying to make me quit while she still smokes. I should really think of quitting sometime soon though but all the luck in the world to ya, god knows I've tried in the past.

hope you have more luck than I do.
