On the subject of strong... carving a turnip lantern!! 
Thats all we had in N.I. + Scotland before pumpkins were invented. My father used to do it... mind you he could also crack walnuts with his hands

Oh Velvet
What's it like round your way this Halloween? Its kinda quiet down here... not nearly so many fireworks... recession I suppose.
After my experience with this devil veg, I wouldn't be suprised to hear that A&E departments the length and breadth of the country are inundated with folk who have pumpkin-related injuries
It's been a while since I tackled a turnip. I wonder if you could peel one with one of those spud peelers?
My own little spider
he wore it for about 2 minutes

It's bananas Rog but we've not been bothered yet. Parties and zombies all over the shop.
Kinda family place. Scares the shit out me.
Know what ya mean Velvet. Halloween is for kids... there's a deeper meaning though... ye ken?
I've stocked up on sweets and I'm ready for all trick or treaters.....which practically guarantees I won't get a single knock.

You'd be there all day. It's halving the buggers for your soup where the problems begin.
Just buy a half/portion. it's a lot easier. even though it's still fairly awkward.

Any callers yet Ducky
My very favourite Halloween music ..it'll give you the willies proper!
at Ells... love IT!...a spooky hippo
The neighbours were always good to my kids on Halloween, so I always get some sweets in just in case anyone calls.
if it's anything like last year I shall be high on Haribo by 9pm!!
Loving Milo's outfit, Pengles!
For those of you who like spooky stories, you may want to watch today's episode of Doctors on the BBC iPlayer.

It's loosely based on the M R James story "Whistle and I'll come to you"

that's because they are all in my village!
You should send them down the road a few miles 
I live at the end of long street - with a dead end. I think they get bored and turn back before they reach my house.
I made a thread about this, but might as well post here.
Awesome, spooky, hologram effect
Halloween update: allowed myself a drinky- poos [first since New Years] some Big Night In Tesco party food and nodded off on Halloween night! Guess I ain't a wild child no more... 
I spent the night in the pub Didn't intend to. We had a meeting in another office at work and someone was leaving.
Had a meal and went back to the office for a meeting that lasted all of half an hour. Was waiting for a workmate to 'finish up' her computery stuff cos we agreed we'd get the bus home together.
She then did the fatal thing of saying to me....do you fancy the pub (most of the others had already gone)
I said yes and was in there from 4pm til about 10.10 Managed to sort another workmate who had no one to get her on a bus (16 sheets to the wind) Finally got her into a taxi nd me and Jo to a bus stop and home
Got in for 11pm and straight to bed
not been on for a bit but this was Gemma getting ready for work
The throat cut looks especially convincing
