Hallowe'en

[Olly]

In my day:

1. We'd steal gates off the neighbours
2. We'd egg the Police
3. Set the primary school alight
4. Build a bonfire for weeks from jotters and tyres
5. Wear cheap masks that made you sweat badly.
6. Ate nuts
7. Ate apple tarts with a 20p in it.

Your posts used to be mildly amusing. Where has all that humour gone?

I'm sorry you cannot mock me anymore. Nothing to add?

Bring back "Penny for the Púca"

Pay no heed, Olly, even your worst posts are worth more than most people's best

Appreciation from EG, the death knell of any poster.

No more money in apple tarts anymore, health and safety and all that.

You're all right then - not even I could appreciate any of your posts...

They still have the ring in those bracks.

We'd go 'ducking' for apples. A bucket was filled to the brim with water and placed on a stool or a low chair. Then a few small apples were put floating on the water. All children present were blindfolded and took their turns at attempting to pick up an apple with their teeth.
'Twas a bit like shaving a pig; plenty of grunting and squealing and general mayhem but damn all to show for it in the end.
A variant on this was to try and bite into an apple on a piece of string that had been attached to the top of a door jamb or to the ceiling.
Older or more adventurous kids who weren't afraid of the púca, would go and pull cabbages from someone's garden and kick them up and down the road. All the better if the owner of the cabbage was a cranky oul' f**k.

The Halloween night at the Ulster American Folk Park was mighty craic when I was a youngster. Although i'd always need a new pair of togs afterwards.

Those cheap plastic masks used to crack at the mouth and cut the edge of your lips. They were right aul hoors.

Aw the Folk Park was fantastic. The ghost running about etc and tasting pumpkin pie.

My dad did a Year's research up in the Folk Park (teacher) so everyone knew him and we'd get to take part in all the good things.
