On a more cheerful note. Going to Hamilton. Any recommendations for not too expensive place near there for early bite and a glass?

Oddly, I've always put rape above murder. Reason being that murder is a life-sentence for the victim's families, but rape is a life-sentence for the innocent victim. I agree with you. I'd prefer to be murdered than raped. At least with murder that's the end of it but rape you'd have to live with the memory of it for the rest of your life. |

Well, this usually-cheerful thread has gone horribly dark all of a sudden. Must be the date.

To avoid the trick and treaters, I’m currently doing an extra long shop in my local supermarket. Hopefully by the time I’m done,the kids should have finished.

Don’t they follow trick or treating ettiquette around your ways? They’re only meant to knock if you’ve put a pumpkin/other Halloween decorations out.

The big new hi-rise development in Victoria, behind and to the east of the theatre, has many restaurants, mostly chains but decent ones. I'd go for Bill's.

Blimey kids, that escalated quickly.
Anyway I was coming on to say a sausage dog shouted 'excuse me' when it couldn't come into my work today....
...ok it was it's Mum but still Sausage dog in the foyer is a good enough Wednesday in my book.

I've had two lots of kids in the last few days waving buckets at me, wanting not sweets but money!! It wasn't even Halloween yet! When did this start?! |

It's not Halloween that's the problem round here. Someone needs to make a law about not setting off fireworks throughout October. I've already run out of this year's quota of Diazepam* and there're still 5 days to go until November 5th.
*For Waggy Tibs, obvs.

Life just gets more complicated, when do you put your tree up, is it OK to have a mince pie in November and now when do you bring out the Christmas toilet roll.

Not complicated at all; you're fair game to start getting ready for Christmas any time from 6th November to 2nd December (Advent Sunday this year) depending on your personal preferences. (Personally I like the years where Advent Sunday falls at the end of November, I like to have something to throw at the people who take it as a personal offence that I personally don't want to wait until 1st December to start buying presents and hanging fairy lights.)

As far as I'm concerned Christmas shopping can happen at any time but no decorations or Christmas food until December. The fact that shops had Christmas sandwiches stocked in October is just depressing... |

Just politely and then slightly less politely asked the couple in front of me on the coach to stop playing music on speaker. The guy who turned out to be French responded with “Speak French!” - I don’t think my response “Nique ta mere!” was what he expected but it seemed to have the desired effect.

What an impressive retort, @xanderl - though I had to Google it for an English translation and dread to think how you came by the phrase!

Dog walk fail today. When I was picking up the schnauzer's ill-timed poo, she went to sniff a larger dog's bottom, just as he was weeing. So she got a golden shower and now that we are home, an unwanted bath.
Grrr....

Uneventful; boarded a train just before noon, about to disembark shortly. A day of pleasant sedantry mindlessness.

^anyone else filing that under TMI? I'm filing YOUR post under Bloody Hell, Yes. In a sub-folder labelled Yeccchhh. In the same filing cabinet to where I've consigned proud parents' happy descriptions of their offspring's excretions. |
