A white home counties roadman's crew camps out in a deadman graveyard wiv a bag of special brownies

FIFTEEN-year-old Active J, known in his detached home as Joshua Hudson, is spending the night with his ‘crew’ in a graveyard with treats kindly provided by Drilla’s older brother.

WAGWAN? Active J ‘as been hexperiencin’ da great houtdoors, fam. Crewdem an’ man decided to ‘ave a hadventure by campin’ hovernight in da local graveyard wiv da deadbots, innit?

Active J wanted to camp on da school hastroturf pitch, coz it is less rank, but crewdem thought man woz bare scared of deadbots climbin’ out of dem’s boxes an’ eating man’s flesh in da night. Are you jokes? Man is scared of nuffink, fam. You is.

Parentdem wanted Active J to stay in da nearest Malmaison hinstead. But man sed Active J is a brave bossman an’ is protectin’ him’s crew so will need a tent, innit. So man took parentdem to Go Houtdoors an’ bought a six-muggle Vango Alderley Air 650XL Tent wiv all da peng cookin’ an’ sleepin’ gear, an’ separate hareas for man’s drip an’ hafter shaves. Man ‘as standards, fam.

Da graveyard woz hyper-rank, fam. It woz bare full of hactual grass an’ mud ‘n ting. There wozn’t much room for crewdem to pitch it coz heverywhere there woz stones wiv deadbot muggle names on dem an’ how old dem’s woz when dem died. 

Drilla ‘as been campin’ wiv him’s big bruv bare loads, so him made a fire houtside. Den him gets out a bag of brownies him’s bruv made. Dem woz uber-peng, man ‘ad two. Den we sat haround drinkin’ Monster, chuggin’ vapes, an’ tellin’ rank ghost stories dat made gyaldem scared. Not Active J. Man woz just cold.

Den Drilla started scrannin’ a Curly-Wurly, an’ Lady G hasked if she could ‘ave some, an’ dickhead sed, ‘Yeah, you can ‘ave da holes, innit’. Fam, dat woz da funniest ting man ‘ad hever heard. Crewdem started laughin’ an’ laughin’, tears woz squirtin’ from man’s eyes, innit. An’ da more a bruv sed it, da funnier it woz. An’ den we woz laughin’ coz of da names Curly an’ Wurly, innit. Maybe you ‘ad to be dere.

It woz dark when we stopped laughin’, an’ Lady G looked at da stars in da sky an’ hasked if man thought there woz haliens watchin’ us. Active J sed dunno, but cud Lady G sit up coz her woz’ creasin’ man’s Cole Buxton puffa?

Active J needed a wazz behind a tree, in him’s fourth pengest 95s, in case of splashback, innit. But in mid-flow man saw shadows between da stones! Walkin’ like zombies, wivout swag. Man cud not push him’s wazz out quick henough, fam!

Active J ran back to crewdem an’ told dem dat da deadbots woz halive, or dat crewdem woz gonna be habducted by space muggles. Dem knew Active J woz bare serious, coz man ‘ad not changed back into him’s pengest 95s.

Den heveryone woz scared an’ screamin’ an’ ting. Three figures wiv lights where dem’s hands should be woz comin’ towards crewdem!

Drilla stood up. Active J saw dat gyaldem thought dickhead woz bein’ brave, so Active J busted ahead of him an sed: ‘Man is Active J. Bossman roadman. Is you haliens or deadbots, blud, innit?’ 

Da figures an’ Drilla started pissin’ demselves laughin’. It woz Drilla’s big bruv an’ crew, dem ‘ad brought bare bags of drive-thru Maccy Ds for munchies, or sumfink. It woz a bit ‘umiliiating but man was bare relieved not to be eaten by zombiedem or get da hanal probe. Gassed!

This week in Mash History: Black Death enquiry finds it was caused by conjunction of planets, 1355

AFTER every great disaster – Vesuvius, the Boris Johnson administration, Chelsea signing Winston Bogarde – come questions. But does history get the answers right? 

The official enquiry into the Black Death, the plague that killed close to half of Europe in 1346 to 1353, suggests otherwise. For it concluded that it was caused not by the Yersina pestis bacterium but by Saturn, Jupiter and Mars being in Aquarius.

A contemporary source reads: “There are those, misguided and far from God’s grace as they are, who claim this is the fault of fleas on rats. Ravings to be dismissed.

“For our most advanced monks have studied the heavens, seen the 1345 conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter with Mars in the same house preceded by lunar eclipse and proven beyond doubt this called a pestilence down upon us.

“This is a humiliation for those anti-scientific heathens who claim killing rodents is an answer, or escaping to the far-flung countryside of rural Croydon would prolong survival. Sheer nonsense! It was the planets revolving around the Earth the whole time!

“So let there be less of this ‘keeping yourself clean’ nonsense, and no more shutting yourself indoors. And as for the masks worn to obstruct the airways, well, sir, do you believe the spheres of heaven take heed?

“No, this was a conjunction event pure and simple. And as it won’t repeat until 1373 and we’ll no doubt have come up with some pretty effective anti-maleficent prayers by then we have no further lessons to learn from it. Good.”

And so Britain continued happily onwards and soon felt so recovered that it renewed the Hundred Years War, to the delight of the peasantry.

Next week: to 1946, when Alan Turing invents the computer as something to be gay on.
