Happy Halloween

see more Lolcats and funny pictures

My views on Halloween were given in a Calder's Comfort Farm column for the New Statesman website this time last year:

I’ve got no time for Trick or Treat. It’s just demanding money with menaces and, in the South of England at least, a recent import from America. Worse, paranoid modern parents insist on accompanying their children, trailing behind them with big soppy grins.

A Penny for the Guy was more my style: good, honest begging with a token creative effort thrown in. Children spent hours shivering on street corners before blowing themselves up with fireworks. That sort of thing builds character.

But I liked this Lolcat.
