[56k warn] Mischief night

Post by Chris Corbyn »

Who ever came up with such a stupid idea??!!

It used to be just people knocking on doors and running away and silly things like that but now it's gotten way out of hand!

I've just wandered over to the off-license to buy some booze for a party tonight and one the way I went past kids launching fireworks at a car (parked) and kids throwing rocks at somebody's windows (third time lucky; two clunks against the glass then a big smash).

<span style='color:blue' title='I&#39;m naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> idiots... I could strangle the lot of them!!

I'm going to be out all night and I just wonder what state my house is going to be in when I get home :(

FYI, for those not in the UK who don't know what I'm talking about:

Yeah it's crazy. I mean, I remember going out as a young lad and doing knock-a-door-run and tame things like that. We used to attach cotton thread to door knockers and hide while we tugged it to operate the knocker. We'd also do harmless things like throwing water-bombs at people (a bit cruel in retrospect).

But now it's all just gone crazy :evil: :roll:

Some kid got his hand blown apart a few days ago by trying to launch a rocket from it (what was he thinking??). It can only get worse.

I've heard about that place. I might pop in one night. Did you go to the halloween party at the brewery? I know a few friends who went but I was back in Leeds for halloween.

That was the first one I went to. They're on right up until 31st December so I think I'm going to at least one more.

Going back here tonight for a bit o' dub with Mad Professor. Not sure what to make of it really. I've just read a load of bad reviews about it. Drinking Absynthe is bound to help somewhat :P
