31st of October: Halloween. Talk about a deadline...

Only ghouls need apply though, because there's no way they are going to employ a boy. Witches not fair.

I remember meeting the last Diocesan Youth Worker, when I first spider giving a talk. I thought - she spells trouble. It just ghost to show, though of corpse I had no idea how things would turn out.

These puns are terrible. It's a grave offence. I hope they are not too cryptic. I've got a bit of a cold so I can't stop coffin...

If anybody can demonstrate a good pun involving the word werewolf I will be very impressed. I just can't think howl get that in. I am at a dead loss.

Dead is a very easy Halloween pun to use. Which is dead handy.

What did the Vampire say about my puns? They suck!

Bats enough for now.

Update: We have a winner (one of the secret people who emails because of how friendly and open to criticism the Church in England and Wales is):

"The Middlesborough Diocese werewolfing down the secular trash about inclusiveness and so on."

Hurray!
