    Now that the budgets done and the SOB case has been dealt with we can start to focus on what's really important.... Halloween!

    Whats everyone doing for Halloween this year? Any one got any original ideas for costumes? Its only 3 weeks away now so time to start planning :D

    I'm a bit early for it I know but I really like the Halloween night so I'm just looking forward to it :D.

    It's just really good fun being able to have a laugh at yourself / mates and dressing up as something ridiculous that you wouldn't normally do.

    Really want to go as a Lego Man but can't find a costume online, and wouldn't possess the artistic creativity to create one.

    So unless a topical news story surfaces between now and then, that is easy to string together, I shall remain void of ideas :(

    I love Halloween! It's my favourite holiday. I usually make my own costume. I was going to be Toothless this year, had wing fabric and a catsuit ordered but by the looks of it, I'm not gonna get off work so I can't do anything for it this year... :( quite disappointed to be honest. On the plus side, I now have 4 2x1m cuts of black fabric and a catsuit...

    Oh I actually saw when I was looking for my own, you might be interested in it -> http://www.thecostumeshop.ie/costume-ideas/1980s-90s-costumes/mr-blockhead-kids-costume.html I'm not sure how good it is but I've used stuff from that website in previous years and never had a problem so far. I may just have been lucky though!

    I had considered it as well but said I'd go with some thing else.

    Well i'm going trick or treating this year, why should kids get all the fun. If people give funny looks to a 30 year old man in a spiderman outfit then they need to get over themselves

    Can one still go as Jimmy Savile?

    Everyone did it before we learnt of his 'errors'.

    Would be a great one now though, a proper ghoul.

    Now then, now then! *rotates cigar*

    Usual Halloween for me. Dress up as a curmudgeon, and enjoy the night with curtains drawn and doorbell disconnected.

    What's Halloween for 'humbug'?

    I would consider attendance at an event that requires fancy dress a type of hell on Earth - so I won't be doing that.

    Probably bring the kids around a few doors before going home and leaving the trick or treaters to the other-half. :D
    Will probably end up eating most of the sweets too.
    And making sure the cats are in.

    I don't particularly like Halloween tbh.
