Thought that was a pretty clever way to deal with it. Wouldn't surprise me if he wakes up in the morning to find that the kids have helped themselves to the air in his tyres ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I went shopping at half 6 on Saturday night and successfully missed all the guisers. Lovely stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasons to be cheerful for this pish. Tbh I'd have thought that the weather would have put paid to the trick or treating (aye, I'm a boot in the arse off 40 and nobody called it guising when I was wee). My Hallowe'en pttgoyn is that bairns arrive at the door expecting sweeties for no return. When I was wee you had to do some kind of turn, be it a joke or a song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, but who wants to stand in the cold listening to shite from brats you've never laid eyes on. It was bad enough having to look impressed with our own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone on facebook asking if people were going out with their kids on Saturday or Sunday, which I thought odd as Hallowe'en was Sunday. If it was Monday you'd not be asking if anyone was going out on Saturday, so what difference does it make? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florentine_Pogen Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 When they bring the restaurant bill and there's no accompanying mints or sweets [emoji19]Yeah, I especially miss the unwrapped mint imperials that have been fingered by the manky bassas that don't wash their mitts after a visit to the bogs. That wee extra tinge of fishy pish makes for a real treat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard linguistic prowess like "fingered by the manky bassas" and "extra tinge of fishy pish" since the Macc Lads split up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Steele Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Mrs SL is an Eagles fan (I know). Two things - ticket prices "tbc" before going on sale Friday. Secondly, Premier Inn at the tram to Murrayfield is showing £180 room rate for the night of the concert. Oh well, saved a wee fortune. Although, as if by magic, the room rate for the night after the concert is £43. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be monitoring uptake of the £180 hotel rooms before deciding the target price point for the gig itself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Bores who refer to Halloween as something imported and American who presumably don't consume any American media or pizzas or burgers. A special prize for folk who think carving a turnip is more authentic as if 19th century Scots wouldn't have used a pumpkin if they were freely available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
