Go for it.

In central London I keep seeing people - that's grown-ups - walking around in trick-or-treat Halloween costumes. At lunchtime. This country's going to hell in a handcart, and we're wearing fancy dress and taking selfies. Jesus wept. I give it five years till the first reports of otherwise normal adults wearing nappies because they don't like using loos.

Putting on the second sock (of a matched pair) only to find there's a bloody hole in it.

and say "i've got a pair like this at home"

[Loz]

I find the M&S wildly-coloured heels and toes black socks really useful for pairing.

Sexist comments disguised as banter. It's still sexism, chaps. If you're the kind of man who finds it difficult to know whether you respect women or not, try replacing the word 'woman' with 'black people' or 'muslims' and see if you're still comfortable with it.

Thought not.

Buying sweets for Trick or Treaters that don't even bother to turn out.

Foxy what's the address / what sweets have you got (I like liquorice) ?

[Loz]

Last Friday - bought three big bags of trick or treat sweets

Tuesday - noticed we'd scoffed them all. Bought four big bags to replace them.

Thursday - bought two more to make up for more scoffing.

Friday - Hoards of small children roam the neighbourhood. Large bowl of sweets gone by 7.15. Took pumpkin picture down from door.

Hallowe'en has cost me a sodding fortune. Burp.

Did you put a pumpkin in the window? If not, unlikely that anyone will knock which is a shame if you went to the trouble of buying sweets.

Having said that, I never participate in Halloween but my road is usually full of trick or treaters & tonight was really quiet.

No, I did not put a pumpkin in the window. I never do, but I usually get

4-5 lots of children with their mums. I did look out but there was no one out.

So I am left with loads of sweets that I cannot eat. :(

Tin openers that don't do what it says on the...emm tin.

Watching tv adverts for products that I've already decided I want to buy but are totally unavailable / out of stock. Don't believe the Apple hype!

How do you do it quids? Have you got some sort of app that sends you a reminder?

[Salsaboy]

Too much time on his hands.....

[loobylou]

Why don't people queue at bus stops any more? It's free-for-all.....I was in Edinburgh recently and they still queue...

[Robert Poste's Child]

They still do outside the main rail terminals in the morning. It's very noticeable now no one else does.

[david_carnell]

It's because the bus never stops in the same place twice.

So you just find an empty spot under the shelter and wait for the bus. When it arrives, if you're lucky, it stops near you and you get on quickly. Other times it pulls up short or goes long and you get subsumed by the crowd.

Win some, lose some.

[StraferJack]

The bus never stops in the same place and/because the stop serves multiple routes. So if you take the one outside ED station, that serves what, 5 different routes. Do you have 5 queues? Or one queue for all routes and then when 2 different buses arrive, somehow everyone for those buses politely removes themself?

It's sunrealistic to expect a queue in these situations, to my mind

[the-e-dealer]

Plus on many buses it is acceptable to board by any door. Making queuing difficult.

[DulwichFox]

What we need is a War and Rationing. Then we would all queue for everything.

And leave our street doors open till gone midnight..

And all sit 'round the piano down the pub and sing songs and drink Mild & Bitter.

Foxy..

If you enjoy that kind of thing you can experience it every Saturday at William Rose, and often at Moxon's too.
