Hallo
- Goodbye
By John Morgan 14/10/02
Make the most of Halloween this year - it could be the last. A 'Ban Halloween' petition is circulating Wales, already receiving 500 signatures in a week. Campaign organiser, Dr Berwyn Michaels, started the petition to protect vulnerable sections of society from being targeted by trick or treat hooligans. He reckons, at the very least, the Welsh Assembly can be persuaded to officially license any future Halloween events. We say, come off it Dr Michaels - throwing flour and eggs hardly constitutes the "war-zone" you refer to. Halloween is a traditional pastime that must be protected at all costs. Let's face it, we've all dabbled in the occult at one time or another, and what's wrong with dancing naked around a fire - especially when there's a few smart birds involved. Furthermore, the economic implications of a ban could be catastrophic - with hundreds of scary mask shops forced to close, and tens of thousands of assistants left on the dole. Sowing your wild oats
What a great idea, especially as rural communities have been suffering a recession of late. Punters could be bussed in and out of the countryside, providing a welcome boost to the local economy - and putting a smile back on the farmers faces too. Alco-gran pops
Does this mean they are getting too much pension? If so, a cut in the allowance could be the only answer! Tory's flying the Welsh flag
Perhaps it's time for Wales to forget the misery of the Thatcher and Major years and give the Tory's another chance. With other visionary policies on offer, like retaining fox hunting and placing further restrictions on the right to strike, the Tory party may be just what Wales needs. Dai Vulge predicts Welsh victory over Italians Finally, our forum clairvoyant, Dai Vulge, has emailed us a prediction ahead of Wales' game with Italy. He reckons Wales will win by a narrow margin. Unfortunately, this time he doesn't know the exact score: he'd been boozing the night of the dream and his recollection of the game is a bit patchy. But he definitely caught Wales celebrating at the final whistle. Anyway, thanks for the insight, Dai. You got the Finland score spot on, so who are we to doubt your supernatural powers.

On
a more positive note, legalised brothels
could be set-up if Plaid Cymru take Office.
These would be placed outside of the towns
in an attempt to cut down on crimes such
as kerb-crawling and assault. 
More vice news this week in the form of
a drinking survey that shows pensioners
are giving the youngsters a run for their
money in the drinking stakes. Apparently,
OAP boozing has risen to excessive levels
in recent years. 
Other
shocking news came in the form of a Conservative
proposal to have the Welsh dragon included
on the Union Jack.
