2006 Ghostbusters Save Vavcouver !

All week at work it seemed to me that a plague of spiders had appeared to have arrived and begun spinning thier magic creating vast amounts of cob webs all of a sudden ! This could only mean one thing of course !


Haloween was about to arrive in the creepy ghoulie hollow of Vancouver !

The impending and growing excitement seemed to take two forms that the independent English witness (me) could spot.

1. As noted - all manner of creepy crawlie decorations got splattered across desks, computers, chairs, windows etc etc etc .......... and not least can the odd pumpkin or two cause hazard for the unsuspecting rambler not paying attention to where they are going !

2. The second and all together more interesting tell tale sign of arrival is that every girl in town within ear shot starts to natter about what costume they will be sporting, and furthermore to which party.

Obviously being the quiet, honest respectable bloke that I am (look every one - my mom reads this so forgive the ever so slight white lies)
I was shocked and horrified to learn that the costumes in general consideration basically involved leaning to the risque side !

OK OK ! I will dispense with the tosh. Yes - every girl in town decides to turn their:

i) nurse
ii) little red riding hood
iii) little bo beep / snow white
iv) wpc

costume into a :

i) Slutty nurse
ii) Harlot red riding hood
iii) Horny bo peep / snow white
iv) Dirty wpc

costume.

I have never seen so many scandalously dressed girls wandering the streets of any city before (and that includes Newcastle upon Tyne or Liverpool). Obviously I hated it ! mmmmm?

Taking Will's suggestion that we go as a team to the bash I had been invited to by some work colleagues, we got ourselves armed up with water pistols, white overalls and hey presto !

The Ghostbusters take on Vancouver !

That a good time was had by all I'm sure you can see ! That a free bar was principal cause I'm sure you need not be Sherlock Holmes to work out ! Lets just say by the time Ray Parker Junior made it onto the DJ's play list my dancing skills were not too pretty or stylish, even if they were energetic ! Elbows at the ready !
