Templeton Peck Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 News feed awash with adults dressed up. I saw pictures of a couple who had blacked up in their costumes. More worryingly was a few police officers had liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookie Bear Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) News feed awash with adults dressed up. More annoyingly, adults dressed the same as their children. Or babies with pumpkin hats on "my wee pumpkin xx" I don't get it, I really don't. Is it me or has Halloween been cranked up a few notches this year? Some of the effort that has gone into the make-up and costumes is ridiculous. I don't get it either. (Babies dressed as pumpkins is acceptable imo as it is just a bit of fun.)

It's the americanised version of it. It'll only get worse over the next 5-10 years. Now it's trick or treating not guising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking the same myself over the weekend Kids now come to my door saying trick or treat rather than saying anything for the guisers, also in my day it was a turnip you would use and all the shops now are full of pumpkins Fair play to the people who were out on sat night as some of the outfits had a lot of work put into them and that's before they put make up on.... A black witches hat used to be enough but nowadays people go out and spend ?100's on something to wear. Next year these people will want to go one better so it's only going to get worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennywise Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Yeesh thats low. Sound like scumbags.. Genuine q... why do u have them on facebook? When we first moved here we got invited to theirs for a party, other neighbours were going so we made the effort to be nice & join in. Few beers, phones out, everybody's adding on Facebook. Big mistake. At first i was getting private msgs asking for money, once they realised I was ignoring them, they start sending the kids round to ask. Almost daily they come round & ask for something. Sometimes it's a wee note through the door asking for anything between 30p-?20. They are scumbags. I've seen him leave his new born outside the bookies while he goes in & spends his dole which inevitably results in the female marching round in her jammies and screaming at him in the street. I could rant for ages about them but you probably wouldn't believe half the stuff. But yeh, publicly begging for money on Facebook is a new low.

I stayed below to junkies a few years ago and they chapped the door every now and again asking for sugar, a bit of coffee, some skins whatever.

The time he came to my door asking for ?2 to buy milk for the baby. Not falling for it, I have him a cup of milk. He went home (I was watching from upstairs window) then went down to the next neighbour asking the same with the same result. Don't know if he ever got his ?2. Think his kitchen was full of half full cups of milk. Or the time he and another guy got their sons, about 13 yr old, to have a fist fight in the street over a disagreement in school. The neighbours laddie got slapped and burst out crying. Or the time she openly laughed at my wife for paying for shopping when there are perfectly good food banks in edinburgh.

Used to have a wee laddie who was in my football team who the social work gave money to his mum so he could get a taxi up to training and would always get a text saying could I pick him up as she had no money to get him up there. Only for me to turn up at his front door and she'd answer it half jake'd all the time. It was a shame as he was a cracking laddie and smashing wee player but what hope does he have.

Nookie Bear Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Tired of every second post being about Cameron and Syria. Regardless of the arguments for and against the action, I don't need a quote from David "Looney Tunes" Icke to tell me Cameron is a Very Bad Man Indeed. If you're posting it, don't fool yourself you are being politically active, you're just regurgitating a meme it took someone 30 seconds to create.
