    I know one of my friends has gotten a ridiculous costume for a party she's going to. I'm not sure where it is but I'll find out where it is when I see her later.

    Does your friend know of any parades? ;)

    My friend proves to have very little information. In fact I'm considering trading her in for a more knowledgeable version! :pac:

    Apparently "Halloween is on a Friday night. All the clubs are on on a Friday night so there's bound to be a fancy dress on somewhere. Duh!"

    Why do I suddenly feel old? :D

    :D It's not just you. I got almost exactly the same response from a friend during the week. I have visions of dozens of drunken 20-somethings being refused admission on the Friday night 'cos they don't match the dress code in their costumes ^^

    Wednesday night Envy will be full of students, a large percentage of which will be dressed up (or the reverse for alot of the girls, whose fathers would rightly lock them up in their rooms and never let back to college if they saw them). Friday I imagine Toff's would be the best place and then Saturday Velvet. Some pretty good cotumes there the last couple of years, due to people old enough to have sense having more money to prove they have no sense.:D
    Outside of nightclubs, I don't know of any other places where fancy dress would be applicable, unless you plan on going trick-or-treating.

    Yes. But what with things being so tight these days, the standard of sweets will be poor. Probably small pebbles, pre-chewed gum and, ugh!, Aero bars:eek::D

    Ah yes. Monkey nuts. I know they're the basis of wonderful things like Snickers, peanut butter, brittle and dry roasted Planters and sundry other culinery delights, but my God are monkey nuts rank:eek:

    Halloween destroyed the reputation of monkey nuts in Ireland. I mean, fresh monkey nuts are up there in the Top 10 of nuts. Fresh, roasted monkey nuts are in the Top 5.

    However, for as long as I can remember, it seems like someone decided that it would be a good idea to collect up all the old, stale, shrivelled & quite frankly - rank - monkey nuts that weren't used in the previous 12 months & ship them over to Ireland for sale over the Halloween period. Genius idea. However, I feel sorry for the nuts. It's not their fault.

    I know. They're runners (as in they grow along the ground). Still, if we suddenly started calling them monkey peas, people would get confused. starbelgrade is right. Fresh monkey peas are nice.

    I need to know for.. a... friend.

    I think they mean a tenner to enter the contest, not to get into the place.

    I would assume, anyway.
