2. I’ve just seen a werewolf’s buttocks. Must be full moon.

3. The invisible man asked me to come to his invisible darts match but I couldn’t see the point.

Some years ago I made up a bunch of Halloween jokes for my kids to use when out guising. They did not use them.

1. I’ve been washing the Mummy’s bandages for hours. I’ve just finished though so that’s a wrap.

The true horror of Halloween is your AI renderings of Halloween.

Please fuck off with them.

Thank you.

[Scene is the entrance cabin to a NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY AND GARDENS]

 1
NATIONAL TRUST EMPLOYEE [inside cabin]: 

Hello there 

2
[A young family - two parents two kids - have arrived at the front desk].

DAD:

Hi - do you have an activity trail, for the kids?

3
NT EMPLOYEE:

Of course – you’re just in time for the Autumn Gammon Trail!

4
MUM:
That sounds fun, doesn’t it kids?

5
NT EMPLOYEE [handing an activity sheet and pencils to the kids]:

Every autumn, the Reform Trust gammons flock back to the National Trust for the AGM. Just follow the trail round the grounds, and see how many you can spot!

6 
NT EMPLOYEE [hearing something in the gardens]:

Listen - that's their call 

[Calls emanating from the landscape]:

tut-tut
woke-woke

7
NT EMPLOYEE [showing the family an apparently empty fenced enclosure with some bushes in]:

They are extremely sensitive and fragile...
But you can bring them out of hiding if you put a little sign down mentioning slavery.

8
KIDS [pointing]:
There they are! 

[Some little red faced PEOPLE wearing Barbour jackets and gilets emerge cautiously from the bushes. They are creeping towards a TINY SIGN in the middle of the enclosure].

[Little people noises]: 
woke-woke
tut-tut
woke-woke

9
[Close-up of the TINY SIGN - we can read that it says]:

Slavery had a bit to do with building this massive house.

[Noises from the little people again as they inspect the tiny sign]:

tut-tut
woke-woke

10
MUM [pointing]:
What's that one doing there?

NT EMPLOYEE:
Oh, that's so sweet…

11
[We see that one of the people is sat on a rock, with a little laptop open on a tree stump, and they are furiously typing away].

NT EMPLOYEE:
I think he's writing a column for the Daily Telegraph…

12
[We see close up to the little person’s screen, it is a word document reading]:

Are National Trust scones secretly WOKE?

[ends]

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

We want the moon on a stick on the left don’t we?

Why can’t we initially be content with keeping the Nazis out of power?

Why do we have to be content with the nazis being in power just as long as it’s not those bastards who aren’t exactly as left as we’d like?

Fucking hell

I love Stephen Collins but this classic English failure to understand that the rest of the UK is not the same as their bit.

We’ve always done guising round our way (N. Edinburgh). You can take your trick and treat and ram it.
