"WHIT?"

[Friend of Dorothy]

The phrase may be American, but the concept of "tricking" of no treat is given comes from this side of the pond.

And FOD, I certainly remember hearing it when I was young

It was indeed the phrase I made my original comment about. I too heard the phrase when I was young but only on American TV shows. As I remember, we went to someones door and had to offer up a poem, song, joke etc, to recieve our nuts and apples.
A favourite, and easier option was to say 'the sky is blue, the grass is green, now may we have our halloween'. All very polite, no trick or treat....!

Must have been after you flitted, it was heard in Davaar/Calton

Well that could explain it. We became a bit refined when we moved tae the sooth side o the toon.

This thread has gone askew again. We are getting as bad as ionnsaigh.

if the town has a sooth side as you call it, then thats where i stay, as i'm "sooth" of practically everywhere, except of course the new "scheme" down past the graveyard(i know, its meant to annoy them) unless of course your a resident nearby? or just work there?

[ionnsaigh]

Both my Wife and I, often walk through the new scheme, We enjoy admiring the schemes gardens. Some of the dogs in the scheme, bark loudly as you walk by. We wondered if the scheme had it's own ice cream van.

it is a beautiful spot, but only if yours was the only house there, hopefully the former owners of the land got top dollar for the plots, it'll be a flood plain in fifty years time with the tide coming another fifty yards up the shore, if you believe the scaremongers that is!!!

What a load o tripe. Your wife walks, you shake and what the f.c.u.k has this got to do with globaliZation??

[general jack o'niell]

you started it with the sooth side of town comment, and is new houses being built on what was greenbelt not got anythingh to o with globalisation, for a start the 30mph signs have been moved another 300yards up the road, theres at least 15-20 houses where once there wasa beautiful view out the loch, etc etc etc, where does their sewage go?, or is it only one narrow view of what passes for the topic matter that can be considered?

which this topic interested me enough to say something serious about it, but for the life of me i canna be bothered, if the world blows up the day after i die, or the day i die, or the day before i die, no, thats silly, just the first two, point is i couldn't care less, 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the world doesn't care, all they want is a cheap loaf a cheap pint of milk, a cheap gallon of petrol, bigger better faster cheaper cars, houses, computers, fridges, cookers, boats , planes, vibrators (ok thats just to see if your paying attention!!) and to hell with what happens when their gone, their children? grandchildren? och they'll be fine, what they do after i'm gone is not my concern

think i'm wrong? i'm not even half way there, china doesn't care, india doesn't care, america doesn't care, africa doesn't care, its too busy killing itself with AK47s and aids to be bothered about globalisation, the world doesn't care, is that global enough for you?

burn baby burn!!!!!!
