Tyke

The Halloween period seems to last about a week in Liverpool. You certainly see some sights on a night out. The girls are either dressed as witches or hardly dressed at all. We also have the dreaded "mischief night" (last night) - lots of reports today of mindless vandalism, I reget to say.

I not heard of a batsman being "leg-byeded" yet but if you hear it, please consider it to be in your job specification to take appropriate action!

Only four trick-or-treaters so far, all at the same time.

I heard a great exchange on the radio this morning - Popmaster on Radio2. The presenter (not the usual one) asked the contestant what he was doing later.
"I'm helping my daughter dress up for Halloween"
"What is her costume"
"A little witch"
"And is she one?"
"No, she's four"......

Chrise

I was born in a tiny village called Sandbeck (between Rotherham and Doncaster) in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Local Government reorganisation invented `South Yorkshire` which is where I live now. The East Riding has been brought back in places around Hull - I would be delighted if we went back to the old `Ridings` which I think were unique to Yorkshire.

I like your poem and would like to visit the city.

I'd like to go to Aberdeen
With Tyke, Malone and Davy
On Halloween I will be seen
With pie and chips and gravy

Grunger

Delightful! Am I having a senior moment, forgetting who Davy is - or has some random stranger been invited along, simply because his name fits the rhyming pattern?

Grunger

Lovely poem. I should also like to visit the Granite City. If a vacancy comes up on your tour, please let me know.

Malone

You are quite right. Davy fits, whereas others dont rhyme or scan unfortunately. If a Davy, or similar, posts before next Halloween, I will invite him or her if that is OK.

Grunger

Thanks. I'm relieved there's not a Davy who is a PU member/contributor to this thread!

Grunger Malone Jigjag

I`d love a trip to Aberdeen - having only ventured beyond Hadrian`s Wall previously to visit Edinburgh & Glasgow.

As well as your good selves I`d like to thank all who have contributed to the PU thread as it approaches 1,000 - particularly Chrise, and not forgetting Rossim who came up with the name.

All forum members are welcome to post here and join in the fun! ✨

Next year's Halloween jaunt will be fun, looking forward to seeing you then. (PS I'm sure you'll know to wrap up well, Aberdeen can be seriously cold at times!)

That was lovely of you to thank all the PU members and PU Thread Dropper Inners. I, too, appreciate all the contributions (even the cricket ones!) to this thread. Pedantically speaking, we haven't always dealt with pedantic stuff - but some of the diversions have been highly entertaining
