Revolutionary Rants

November is here. 2007, as I have previously observed, has flown by and now we reach it’s penultimate month. It is quite warm, presently, for the time of year. We are expecting a busy time this month with our move, the parent’s move, Dublin, me starting work, getting used to the commute and the steady trudge towards the mid-winter festive period.

Another festival has passed, in Barnstaple quietly. The all new Americanised version of Hallowe’en has caused quite a few problems in Devon, according to Spotlight (our version of Look North, the local Beeb news). We didn’t have any trick or treaters down here. I must admit, I always enjoyed Hallowe’en as a kid, but now it annoys me because it has become such a big thing. It not longer involves dressing up as a “bat” by wearing a black leotard and some home-made bat ears attached to your alice band… Now Evil Capitalist Shops have costumes available from the last week of September. Oh well, I have enjoyed drinking “Witches Blood” in lew of cherryade.
