+OldNickCov Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 A good night to do a spot of night caching Ohh and to change your avatar Last year I spent an evening chasing a FTF on a cache posted that evening, and had a very pleasant walk on a crisp clear evening. Not a true night cache, just a night-time chase for a cache. Quote
+Delta68 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 A good night to do a spot of night caching Could do with adding GCR48A "Ghostly Tunnel Vision" to that list as well. It's do-able in the daylight (as we did last week) but I reckon it would be much creepier at night (and probably easier) Quote
+Mr'D Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I plan to do a couple of Halloween bashes tomorrow, but do I generally approve of Halloween? NO. Anyone else feel the same way? Quote
+Matrix Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Ohh and to change your avatar I just did Quote
+Orchards Finest Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 To add to your bookmark list: Glo-Holly-Glo!! on Hampshire/West Sussex border Sussex Wheel - Lights Out, West Sussex We got a FTF on this cache last Halloween. TwoWitt-TwoWooooooooo!, West Sussex. It is already on the bookmark list but is at present temporarily disabled. Quote
+hiho9 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I plan to do a couple of Halloween bashes tomorrow, but do I generally approve of Halloween? NO. Anyone else feel the same way? no i don't, i for one won't be about, as it often ends up not being for the kids and for teenages to come and spoil it for the every one else Quote
+Alibags Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I plan to do a couple of Halloween bashes tomorrow, but do I generally approve of Halloween? NO. Anyone else feel the same way? Yes and No. I have no problem with Halloween itself, or more properly Samhain, but I have severe misgivings about the gross commercialisation and worst excesses of it's current form. What's more, it detracts from November the 5th, when we celebrate the persecution and torture of Catholics in this country 400 years ago! Quote
+Mr'D Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 The Halloween 'celebration' didn't exist when I were a kid Quote
+Alibags Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 We used to carve turnips (swede) lanterns because pumpkins had not been invented... Quote
+Just Roger Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) We used to carve turnips (swede) lanterns because pumpkins had not been invented... How did Cinderella get to the ball then? In a turnip? Doesn't sound as good as a pumpkin Edited October 30, 2007 by Just Roger Quote
SteveThePirate115 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 In our village, we used to offer one child from every family to the witch in the spooky cave. We'd then wait for her to come out, and stab her to death with her own broomstick. She always managed to come back to life, which made sure next hallowe'en was just as enjoyable. I took the kids to take part last year, but the tradition seems to have died down of late. I'm told it's because they were finding it hard to puncture the rib cage with her new Dyson.

I am not sure I am allowed to comment on this without causing more sectarian hatred I do love a pagan knees up though Quote
Izzy and the Lizard King Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 I plan to do a couple of Halloween bashes tomorrow, but do I generally approve of Halloween? NO. Anyone else feel the same way? Hallowe'en? Fine by me. It's the "Trick or Treat" bit I deplore along with the over-commercialisation of the evening. Paul Quote
+Mr Hedgehog Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Hallowe'en? Fine by me. It's the "Trick or Treat" bit I deplore along with the over-commercialisation of the evening. Paul No problem with Halloween, but it's the kids teenagers trying to extract with petty menaces that gets me. I'm off out tomorrow night to sit in our field and fettle my bonfire for the weekend, definately NO chance of being harassed there! Yes, I probably am a M-O-G, bit do I care??? Not a bit!!!

Deego Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) I have changed mine And dusted off the poppy one for tomorrow Edited October 31, 2007 by Deego Quote
+Team Sieni Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Hallowe'en? Fine by me. It's the "Trick or Treat" bit I deplore First time I came across trick or treat was at my sister's place in the US, about 20 years ago. I was babysitting and my sis gave me some goodies to hand out to trick or treaters. I (and kiddy) simply sat in the back room, ignored the front door and ate all the goodies. Easy. Quote
+Bambography Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Changed as always. Edit to say that its not that large as my Avator, sorry. Edited October 31, 2007 by Bambography Quote
Nediam Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Ohh and to change your avatar This might come in handy for some... Virtual pumpkin carver... Edited November 1, 2007 by Nediam Quote
+Bambography Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Now i've had a chance to think about it, how about a themed version of my usual... Quote
+chrissyboy2241 Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Pendle hill Lots of people trek up Pendle Hill on halloween. The home of the Pendle witches. There is another cache not too far from the summit, Mist over Pendle. Might be a bit trick y in the dark though as the latter is quite close to the edge! Quote
+Kryten Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 In Scotland it was traditional to go out "guising" on Halloween. Neighbours would have sweets and things to give to the kids but only after a satisfactory, joke, song, dance or poem was performed. Thousands of hours of blood sweat and toil went into my new seasonal avatar. Quote
