When I was a kid it was turnips and not pumpkins. This was relatively civilised London in the 80s too. Pumpkins didn’t come along for Halloween until early 90s imo

Nice looks like it has a hot piece of coal in it too. Made the mouth and eyes go black. Way fucking scarier than a pumpkin.
We also used to carve turnips, way gnarlier than pumpkins!
Turnips here too, but they’re a national food anyway.

Talking early ‘80’s here but turnips too, my mum carved it for me. Got my gardening badge for Cubs by growing pumpkins, maybe 1987, it’s a Long time ago.

Yeah did exactly the same , turnip carving , they’d shrivel with in the first 12 hours and always burn cos they were too small for the candle .

I’m going to ring my mum to find outhow she carved it out. Would’ve taken weeks.
We did it as kids with a spoon. Took hours.
Hot gravel for tea etc

With a spoon! Fucking hell.
My dad used a one of those large circle saw drill bits on a turnip. Had hollowed in 5mins
My dad works for Nintendo and I’ve got the new console that’s only out in America but I can’t show you it. Princess Peach gets fully nude too. And it’s 3D.

My mate’s brother built him a gokart that had two Suzuki Hayabusa engines in it and it can go 200mph but he’s not allowed to show anyone or the police will take it away from him

Bet he’s not actually insane.
Must be or he’d have sued them surely.

I suppose so. Unless he’s faking it to go on long-term sick? Maybe this is part of his plan.
