Sheets thrown over your heads just means you were too poor to have a clothes line. Will trade you one Great Uncle Josh for two goats or three chickens (bad economy here makes feeding Unc Josh easier than critters).  We have a No return policy.

The stores give out candy. Feckin' unbelievable.  So much for community. This new "tradition" will probably be the next thing you import. On the plus side I have a shit load of goodies for myself.

Neighbour – It’s not Sandy’s favourite night of the year.  The worst bit was when some bastard stole some of my spare Semtex and let it off just after midnight.

We had to take Bono in as he was trying to break in through the cat door! Poor fella was shivering all over and wouldn't stay on his own.   Not a good night for ol' dogs. Bet Sandy hated it.
