Hallowe'en in NZ was strange. Still daylight around 6pm, which was when all the little tots came round, shepherded by adults. Since we neglected to buy any sweets we stayed indoors with the curtains drawn so they'd think we were out. We had a few Chupa-chups lollies so did give them to a select few if we liked their costumes. Halloscre'en-ing we called it.
In the UK these days the older kids just use it as an excuse to vandalise people's houses. We were expecting the same here, but no. Just a nice neighbourhood we live in I guess (the former 'P' den two doors down notwithstanding). That, or not many Maori living nearby. . .

Mine sure did: I worked 16 hours of overtime while listening to only good music online and had almost no annoying customers (none that stuck in my memory at least).

'Course, I'd actually have to have an Amazon wish-list, maybe I'll get one after Christmas when it emerges my brother didn't buy me Babylon 5 season 3 (as he's promised since he missed my birthday) but instead got me a CD. Or rather a cassette as whenever I asked for a CD he'd get me a tape instead. I have to tell him what I want for Christmas, otherwise he'd probably assume I don't want anything at all.
Where were we? So, yeah. Would USPS allow Code Red to be sent in the post?
A tape!?! What year is your brother stuck in!?! 1989?

P is some sort of crystal meth I gather. Granted the tape-instead-of-CD was a while ago, but throughout the 1990s whever I asked for a CD I'd get the cassette instead. Eventually I stopped asking for CDs. . .

You actually still have a tape player? I sometimes keep money in my stereo's twin cassette players: they've never been used to play tapes (and the stereo's six years old).

No, I don't have a tape player anymore. Well, actually I do - there's on ine our mini-system back in storage in the UK, and we bought a radio-cassette player here in NZ. . . But we have no tapes. We have an iPod with an iTrip.
