halloween??

Yep, that's the one. I don't know the rest of that rhyme either. :rolleyes: We have to put up with constant fireworks and bangers for the month in the run-up to Nov 5th. Shops start selling fireworks way too early! We have to seal the letterbox on the night as well, there's always some idiot who wants to do something stupid... Simon
Ah yes, 10 year old kids running around playing with fireworks. Round my way at the moment it sounds more like I'm in Afghanistan. I have to wonder what kind of of society lets children play around with explosives for fun. Michael :-)

Don't call me an idiot. :-D When you are young firecrackers are just too much temptation, you can't rely blame us kids for finding inventive places to put them. I once blew the pocket off my school shirt. My mum was not impressed. The day I got hold of a rocket was the day I got banned from ever going into a cafe which sold fireworks again :-D I was not popular on that day hehe. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

Society doesn't allow or condone children playing with this objects, but it's just too easy for them to gain access. Age-checks are rarely done in smaller newsagents, and parents often allow their children a few bangers to let off. It's when kids take these out of an adult's supervision area when it gets dangerous.

#1 - Who is Peter Stuvesant? Really... I've never heard of him! Ok you are pulling my leg, right? I miss-spelt it. Peter Stuyvesant. An american cigarette brand. Their ad's come on before every single movie I have ever seen. Buxom blondes, handsome hunks, skiing, rich life style, healthy life style, mansions etc. etc. The image of Peter Stuyvesant. #2 - Britney Spears = No talent, but a hell of a good looking young lady! I would not touch her with a ten foot barge poll. She is as fake as a crash proof Windows. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001
Peter Stuyvesant. An american cigarette brand. Nope, it's not a brand that's available here. I don't smoke but I'm pretty sure I'd know if it was even semi-successful. Maybe it's Winston or Marlboro here and they re-label it there??? I would not touch her [Britney Spears] with a ten foot barge poll. So... neither of us will ever touch Miss Argentina either, but she is still very nice looking. Mike Mullikin "It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy."

Maybe I'm being a kill joy again but what kind of society allows explosives to be sold over the counter in newsagents. I know the Americans can buy guns this way :-) but I'd have thought we'd have more sense. Michael :-)

Halloween is when a rabbit comes down your chimney and hides eggs under a tree. Said rabbit then drives the snakes out of Ireland, eats lots of turkey and falls asleep watching American football. Or maybe I'm confused.:) Craig Dodge This message printed on 100% recycled electrons.

Age 0-12: It's all about the candy Age 13-20: It's all about the eye candy Age 21-?: It's all about turning off all the lights in the house and being completely silent. Leave me alone. Nah, just kidding, I'm not really that cynical and bitter. I don't know the deep, spiritual meanings behind Halloween, I just know that when you're little, it's a time to dress up and get a boatload of candy. When you're older, it's time to put on a funny costume that makes people laugh (I just wear my regular clothes - seems to work just fine).

erm ... 'tis true, but think about Christmas and Easter ... make very little either. Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire"
I get your point, but at least Christmas and Easter have some Christian connection (even if the dates for Christ's birth are way off). Halloween doesn't have that excuse. Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd

it's a sad, but true fact that too many kids are left unsupervised to wander around their estates with their "mates". Talk about a receipe for juvenile crime...:( Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd
