Police forces across the UK are on high alert after a shipment of WWLND wristbands, intended for the USA, was blown off course and dumped Blackpool.


‘Americans are better suited to Liam Neeson’s way of life,' a police spokesman told us. ‘They’re already armed, and they kill one another anyway. A typical Liam Neeson plot is just a normal schoolday over there. The British male spends his time mowing the lawn, drinking tea and tutting. He just isn’t ready.'


Sandra (37) bought one of the wristbands for her husband, Trevor. ‘He really likes that film, the one where his daughter looks about 30, but she’s a virgin and she gets abducted, but stays a virgin because she looks about 30. Liam Neeson tells the bad guy that he has 'a particular set of skills which make him a nightmare for people like you'. That’s what Trevor said to the postman before punching him in the throat. He’s never done anything like that before.'


A librarian in Carlisle summarily executed a teen doing wheelies on his electric bike, an accountant in Stroud garrotted a litterbug, and a project manager in Walsall was last seen stuffing Gantt charts into the mouth of his recently deceased sales director before escaping in a stolen Toyota Prius. Police say they’re concerned that somebody they give a shit about might get hurt if the Neesonesque violence continues.


In an alarming twist, Keir Starmer has been spotted wearing one of the wristbands. He was heading towards Downing Street, muttering something about ‘Andy bloody Burnham’ and improvising a weapon from a sharpened calculator.

For decades, parents have put up with watching 2nd rate cartoons as there has always been a few smutty jokes just for them. However, the latest summer blockbuster "Under the shed" has been a winner with the kids but has enraged parents and grandparents alike.


"It's just a cartoon about some woodlice living under a shed," one angry parent told us. "We spent almost £50 on tickets and £30 on snacks at our local cinema and there's not a single blue joke, insinuation or double entendre anywhere. I mean, who would make a film about bugs who eat wood without a single "he's got wood" joke? I'm beyond disappointed."


Cinema manager, Gary Edwards, told our reporter, "We've never had so many people ask for their money back. These parents have my sympathy. I was expecting some "behind the bike-sheds" innuendo or even a "beautiful tits" gag when the woodlice discover a birds' nest but there's nothing."


Grandfather of 25 (not his age), Steve Jackson, was furious. "I've been watching this kind of crap for years with my kids and now grandkids. I've only managed to sit through them because of the borderline filth and there was nothing. Not even a camp grasshopper with a dirty laugh or a slutty slug, doing snail trail jokes. it's an absolute disgrace."

Christopher Nolan, the director of Interstellar and Oppenheimer, has turned his attention to the story of Seventies soul band Odyssey in his new film of the same name.


Beginning with their formation in New York City in 1977, the movie traces the band’s rise to global disco success under the guidance of their chief songwriter Homer Simpson. Among their hits featured are Native New Yorker (‘Up in Harlem, down on Broadway’), Going Back to my Roots (‘Zippin’ up my boots’) and ‘D’oh! Trying is the first step towards failure.’


Filmed entirely in Betamax on 8mm Ciné-Kodak, the film shows the perilous journey the band had to make to succeed in the music business. It has been warmly received by critics. Nathan Nerd, chief film writer of the Los Angeles Times, said: “Homer Simpson’s Odyssey is a moving allegory for life itself. Also, it’s danceable, whereas Oppenheimer was a snooze-fest.”
