Halloween Schmalloween

Advantages: It's an excuse to celebrate
Disadvantages: There are better excuses

...October Thirty-First, Blood vessels bulging, fit to burst. I'm all for parties. Making merry Is something I delight in; very Much the sort of thing I like But fancy dress can take a hike When it consists of sheet and mask What kind of ghost is this? I ask. A blatant fake! All costumes ghoulish Only end up looking foolish Deserving no more than a snort. Call me a killjoy spoilsport. There are some things that really ought Be left alone. Our autumn feast In England's pleasant land at least, Is Guy Fawkes' Night, with firework fun, We just don't need another one. I'm not complaining of the witches; I'm not the kind of nut who bitches That it's Satanist or pagan, Or from the land of Ronald Reagan, But Halloween's the one to dump It ought to take a running jump.

The BT Decor 1500 Corded Telephone!

Advantages: Good voicemail function
Disadvantages: Phone started slipping off the handset

My husband thought the phone was some kind of strange payphone when he first visited my family home many years ago. The landline is not used that much as we tend to use the cordless phones more often.

Review of BT Decor 1500

Happy Halloween!

Advantages: A timeless classic of a Teen Slasher film
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...With today being Halloween I thought that I'd write a nice topical review of one of my favourite horror films of all time, this of course being John Carpenter's 'Halloween', a film that I'm sure most of you have seen by now given that it tends to be shown on one channel or another pretty much every year. Tonight the film can be found on BBC1 at a quarter to midnight, so for those of you that have not yet seen the film then there is no excuse not to now. While researching on the internet to see if the version that I have of the DVD is still available, I found that it was actually deleted a couple of months back. I wasn't particularly shocked to find this seen as the version I have was an apparent 'Limited Edition', however after searching around I found that the American version can be bought online from one website for £11.95 which I...
