Mint Sauce

how was everyone elses experience

Yeah pretty much the same.
It didn't really feel like Halloween on my street.
Very few Trick or Treaters but that meant more sweets for me
Didn't hear many bangers or anything either.
No throwing eggs, no shaving foam and flour fights.
No guards pacing the area this year either.
It was weird.
Can't believe it's over, it just felt like a normal day.

Around cranmore was like Baghdad:eek: Gardai were patrolling the town and standing at every dodge corner in town but didnt seem to be doing much except talking to each other...they were always in groups of 3
Apart from that it seemed like a normal night.

Well I am from Cartron and usually it is a war zone.
I miss it now that it's gone so quiet. It just wasn't Halloween without all the usual crap.

We only got 1 group of young 'monsters' to the door!
I think there wasn't as much bangers or fireworks as other years, seemed to definitely be quieter.

I saw guards out but they didn't seem to be doing much (what's new:rolleyes:). I thought it was pretty noisy, but it was breezy so the noise probably didn't travel as far. Some of those people with fireworks are old enough to know better. Saw guys nearly twenty years of age throwing fireworks at cars. Idiots.

My parents got quite a few trick or treaters. I came back hoping for some of the sweets to be left but not a thing in sight.

CountingCrows

I see Sligo was outdone by Cavan....

They burned down an Orange Lodge there!!!

I work in a shop on the edge of cranmore so to speak. There were fireworks going off non stop, and two thrown in the direction of the shop. One just outside the door, which thankfully didn't hit a customer who was leaving, and another from a car at the roundabout. I dunno if they were going to throw in the shop and then saw me at the door and didn't but whatever, hopefully tonight will be quieter.

You must be a pretty scary guy!;)

brianthebard

Roffles, yeah my beer gut musta scared them! Nah, they were just a bunch of knackers, it wasn't that they saw me just that they saw someone watching them.

Am in Cartron too. Have never seen such a quiet Halloween! Not one trick or treater either. I was in work late anyway but the guys in the house said not one!

Was very strange!

Thankfully didn't spend Halloween in Sligo, but I was there the weekend before and there didnt seem to be as many fireworks as previous years.

Careful boy i'm from Cartron!:D

When I was growing up My mother used to have to keep me in the house for fear of me getting in bother!

One Halloween the Gaurds called and said "your son was involved in such and such down the street"

Funny thing is I had not left the house or my mother's sight all night so they left quite quickly!:D

But not that shocked, people always get the wrong idea about Cartron!

TequilaMockingBird

Can we have a seperate Cartron Forum please.

Frankly, they all seem to be a little rough to me.

With thanks,

From everyone in Sligo except the Cartronians.

nicolaonfire

Okaaaaaaaay, touchy!!!!

Do you mean a new thread or a new forum because that seems a bit extreme? :rolleyes:

TequilaMockingBird

It was a joke Nicola.

Anyhoo, where I live is WAY harder than where you live!

Gillie
