WE WENT TO A FANCY DRESS PARTY # 2

 

We went to a fancy dress party

With a Hogwarts theme

There was me and my girlfriend

And her twin sister Irene

 

However after a drink or two

Alcohol caused a bit of a hitch

As with twin witches I couldn’t

Tell which witch was which

TWITTER HALLOWEEN NIGHT

 

The invitation went out

To the twitter followers

About Halloween night

And the trick or treaters

 

It’s much safer than being

Out on the streets

And it’s better for you

To do twick or tweets

ARE YOU WEARING HALLOWEEN KNICKS?

 

Are you wearing Halloween knicks?

Proper novelty underwear

All festively decked down below

In a suitably seasonal pair

It doesn’t matter the decor

It will make an old man stare

Just you in your Halloween knickers

What wonderful Witching hour fare

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – TRUE GRIT (2010)

 

“True Grit” is a Western drama, screenplay written by Joel and Ethan Coen from the novel by Charles Portis and Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.

 

The story of a stubborn 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) who sets out to capture hired hand Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), following the murder of her father.

After settling her father’s affairs, she enlists the help of tough, drunken, hard-nosed U.S. Marshal Reuben J. “Rooster” Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to track down her father's murderer in Indian Territory.

Despite his shortcomings Mattie identifies him as a man with “true grit,” and insists on accompanying Cogburn and they are joined by an arrogant self-important Texas Ranger, LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) who also has a claim on Cheyney for murdering a Senator.

It becomes apparent that their fugitive has taken up with a gang of outlaws led by Lucky Ned Pepper (Barry Pepper) and the unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has their “grit” truly tested.

Dakin Matthews, Paul Rae, Roy Lee Jones, Ed Corbin, Domhnall Gleeson and as the 40-Year-Old Mattie Elizabeth Marvel, among others make up a very able supporting cast.

 

IF YOU ARE WONDERING ABOUT THE WHEREABOUTS

 

If anyone is wondering where all the traffic cones, personnel barriers and sundry mobile street signage have gone I can now reveal their whereabouts.

They are currently to be found on every Road, Street, Lane and Close in Woking.

Some barriers stand sentinel around abandoned holes in the ground, while cones are to be found either in ones or twos making potholes or broken drains or in uniform rows blocking off perfectly serviceable lanes for weeks on end for no apparent reason.

We also appear to have all the temporary traffic lights in the land and so numerous are they that they rival, in number, the towns Christmas lights.

ARE YOU WEARING A DRACULA OUTFIT?

 

Are you wearing a Dracula outfit?

Well I promise not to put up a fight

And at the end of the Halloween party

I will let you have more than bite

DEMONS WALK THE EARTH

 

Demons walk the earth

On All Hallows Eve

And will snatch away

Your soul at their ease
