If you had a baba it could go as Bit Torrance.

Any suggestions on what a big fat long-haired beardy bloke could dress as for Halloween?

I could go as a Jabba if it wasn't for the beard. And that picture of George Lucas's face shopped onto Jabba's body would be a bit obscure.

Not a bad idea at all, although I'm way too short.

Racing greyhounds for sport is a much more recent fad than racing greyhounds to catch rabbits so we could eat them. Greyhounds and whippets are only a few generations away from being working dogs.

Now small yappy-type dogs can fuck off.


My dogs are fucking awesome at catching squirrels amongst other rodents. I had a wild rat in the house for a week over the summer - I was hoping it would see sense and leave by the back door, but after a week it still hadn't taken the hint of the back door being open so I was gearing up to have to go through the aggro of flushing the furry critter out. Then it broke the fucking dishwasher so all bets were off.

So I flushed it out with the intention of chasing it out of the house but as soon as I found it Spiro (my avatar) got the little fucker - killed it in a split second.

Your two dogs would be awesome at hare coursing. I have a friend who has a lurcher and that thing is like greased lightning - it seems to be able to cover 100yds in a second and a half.

Jake would struggle, I think, as he's too heavy to change direction quickly. Daisy can move like greased weasel shit though.

Spiro's like that - fast but too heavy to be agile or accelerate like a lurcher, but he can bloody shift faster than I can cycle on tarmac when he's in vmax mode.
I dread to think what it would feel like if he ran into you at that speed - you do the maths. 65kg at 35mph

Halloween: Sorry if this has been said, I only just noticed this thread and skimmed through it.

When the hell did it become legal to enforce some kind of sweet based protection racket? At any other time of the year if you knocked on someones door and said "give me something of yours or bad stuff will happen to you" you would be arrested. It is called robbery.

Sorry to bring a downer on this thread if I have by the way.

You genuinely fear for your safety from a bunch of kids dressed as spooks?

Edit: No, and it wasn't halloween, and they should have said Leatherface, not Jason.

Edit again: TheVision, was that you then?


That was just down the road from Mali Towers. And he had been into local pub for a beer as well.

Not really. I just don't fancy spending an extra half an hour of my life cleaning egg off my windows.

Halloween has far more cultural significance to Brits than it does to our american cousins. But the product we now think of as Halloween is so far removed from what it was as to be unrecognisable. I always wander why a bunch of puritans looking for a new life would follow the tradition of a bunch heathens from the motherland.

Also you haven't seen the 15 year old chav thugs, who stick on a witch mask (still dressed otherwise in a tracksuit) and ask for carling, patrolling my area on Halloween. They are almost literally holding a coke bottle of petrol in one hand and flicking a lighter on and off with the other.

Pretty much agreed. Until about 2004, I had no idea even what time of year Halloween was. I wish it had stayed that way, horrible excuse for a day.

Normally when I offer sweets to children people get suspicious.

"It's teenage girls these days, dress like hookers, never know whether to offer them sweets or money"
