When is a pile of twatty reject clothes accompanied by a spherical object, not a pile of twatty reject clothes accompanied by some spherical object?
when it's "the Guy" of course.
Yes it's getting to that time of year again where you can't casually stroll past Tesco -or anywhere with a doorway for that matter- without being pestered by a bunch of twatty kids to surrender a handful of change. We havent even had the "trick or treaters" yet and already the streets are awash with "Guys". Shameless begging season, made all the more tragic by the assumption that any money raised will later be spent on Pogs, footy stickers, yo'yo's etc. or am i out of touch?
Call me cynical but surely this kind of thing is tantamount to standard begging and therefore about as credible as going to your local fish shop and saying "just scraps please". Traditionally the money raised would be used to purchase fireworks but you have to be 18 to buy fireworks now anyway, so they're hardly keeping up tradition.
I'd rather see the money actually spent on said Guy. After all, they do claim to be collecting on his behalf. Some new trainers or a night on the town perhaps might do him some good, though on the other hand i don't think any amount of money could help solve the problems of a man made out of old rags.
Maybe i'm being harsh, maybe i'm just "having a go" to get away from my own problems, specifically the "what Halloween costume to wear" dilemma. Theres no way of winning. If i wear any kind of costume i'll be unable to pull it off and most likely just resemble a bell end in a cape. On the other hand if i wear no costume at all i will have to endure numerous cretins saying "nice mask" You know, the same type of tw@s who have stickers in their Renault Clios saying "my other car is a Jag" - Yeah sure it is mate, and my other life is one worth living.
The harsh reality is that i'll probably end up sat in watching some zombie horror porn dvds. I watched one last year and i was scared stiff.
