Selfish kids ..

Bucket of sweets outside. First kids to take from it just now they emptied it all into their bag bar like 1 sweet

So I went out to take it all in and some cute kid was just coming so I let her have the last of it and brought it all inside

All someone that ruins it for the rest

Try buying cheap plastic bags and splitting the sweets equally between the bags. Just hand one bag to each kid

Oh no we had the bowl outside for the kids to help themselves whilst we put the kids to bed

We found a few whilst taking everyone out earlier.. made sure our lot only took 1 per kid

This is what we have done the last couple of years now, works much better.

Someone wished me "happy Halloween" today.

a) Is this a thing?
b) Isn't that counter intuitive?

I had the same discussion with my wife, funnily enough. I was greeting the trick or treaters with a simple hello and saying "have a good night" when they left. She asked me why I wasn't saying 'happy Halloween'. It said it's not meant to be happy is it? It's meant to be scary or spooky or something, but not happy.

Tunes are gonna have to be pumping to try to drown out the booms..

I’d ban fireworks if it were up to me.
No doubt there will be carnage on 5/11 with fire crews being attacked by neds.

The wifes attuide to decorating

I agreed to repaint the living room, new sofas arrive in a month so my plan is around work for the month I'll do little by little get it done

Start this afternoon as that's 5 hours kid free then tomorrow morning, Monday morning ..

"I don't want it done in patches"

Either you want it done or not ...

This is why she normally gets sent away when I paint so I can leave it half done and come back the next day

I've been banned from painting (and several other things). I don't have the patience to be careful enough. I'm more of a destroyer.....digging ditches etc

This is why I'm doing it before the new furniture arrives. Can be slap dash with the current lot and wood flooring means it washes off lol

Just a thought...
If I hear a blood-curdling scream outside tonight is it someone being horribly murdered or someone messing around trying to scare people..?

Interesting point. (Note to self, make a note to try this out next year )

I'm the same. My missus sees herself as a foreman rather than the worker so prefer to watch and critique which is extremely offputting. I get lots more done when she's not in the house.

I wonder what Turnberry is like to play? Let's have a quick look at what they've changed on the course in this thread that's been created..

Next year it'll be 'Black Winter' or 'Black Christmas' encompassing two or three months worth.

Not at Cypress Point it won't be.

Hopefully the woke brigade can get it cancelled.

Sad news to hear the passing of Alastair Down, a doyen of british horse racing and journalism.

What works for my dog, who absolutely abhors all the noise, is Classic FM played loudly!
I know that sounds odd, but it works for my pooch.

No, no no.
It'll be either 'Winter of Colour' or 'Christmas of Colour'.
In fact, the word Christmas will probably banned so we'll have to call it 'Season of Colour'!
