Amazing but true. A man was attacked last week in an unprovoked assault in an East Dunbartonshire street. Police are looking for (and I kid you not) a “Mummy”. Not someone’s ma. They are looking for some fucker wrapped up in bandages.
My facebook page has been falling down with photos of pissed up adults dressed up as vampires, skeletons and zombies all week. I preferred the days when wee bairns came round your house, sang “Baa Baa Black Sheep”, you gave them 50p and they naffed off to annoy your neighbours. Now the wee bastards will firebomb your house if you give them anything short of an iPod. In my day, it was all monkey nuts and apples, a bit of “dooking” and you were done.
And yer dad didnae dress up as Freddie Krueger either. “Halloween’s for bairns” son he would say. And quite rightly so.

I guess I can be pretty happy that in Austria, Halloween is still not the norm. Traditionally speaking, we don’t have it at all, but with all the USAmerican influence, there are more and more kids showing up at your doorstep and waiting for candy.
