A Brand New TV show Has Just Been Announced Called Hancock\u2019s Half-Hour.<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Hapless Hancock<\/p><\/div>\n

Over the course of 30 minutes the main character, Hapless Hancock, playing the part of the UK Health Secretary, will highlight all the government\u2019s absurd policies and fake facts and figures surrounding the COVID situation. (You really need a bit of humour to save your sanity during this made-up period of madness we are living through<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Some of the highlights of the show have already been leaked. One of the stories featured will be that of the Seagull on Aberaeron beach, in Ceredigion, West Wales, who is believed to be COVID positive. In an interview, a public health official from Ceredigion County Council claims that the seagull definitely has COVID as a local resident called Dai Disaster witnessed the bird regurgitating some chips it had stolen from a couple of pensioners sitting on a bench by the beach. This combined with the fact that another witness said it had beady eyes was enough to convince the authorities of its COVID positive status.<\/p>\n

Rapid Response<\/h2>\n

As a result of this spike in cases, Aberaeron beach has been sealed off. The Celtic Cod chip shop – where the pensioners purchased the chips – has been demolished, the bench on which they sat has been removed and the surrounding beach area has been carpet-bombed – to prevent the rapid spread of the deadly virus throughout the county. The County Council also acted rapidly by blocking roads in all four major towns in the county, and tarmacked all the disabled parking places in Aberaeron town – presumably because these parking areas are reserved for disabled people, most of whom are aged, (not allowed to use the word ‘old’ anymore) dangerous and comprise the majority of the blue card holders in the county.<\/p>\n

The pensioners themselves have been placed in quarantine for six months and anybody returning from their caravan holiday destination in the last few days have been told to put a cardboard box over their head whilst self-isolating for fourteen days.<\/p>\n

The Dangers From Potatoes<\/h2>\n

As a precautionary measure, all purchases of potato chips (that’s ‘fries’ for anyone reading this from across the pond) in and around the West Wales coast region have been banned, with a prison term of three months and confiscation of their deep fat fryer for anyone that defies the new law. The head of the local police force was quoted as saying,<\/p>\n

\n

We will enforce the law with the utmost vigour. People have got to realise that cooking or consuming chips at this time could kill someone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The seagull at the centre of the storm was not captured but authorities did manage to fit it with a track and trace ankle bracelet before it escaped. It is hoped that all the birds it comes into contact with will be able to be traced and locked into special Nightingale aviaries that have been specifically set up for this purpose. Hapless Hancock was quick to point out that although the new facilities are called Nightingale aviaries all species of birds can be accommodated.<\/p>\n

Beak Nappies<\/h2>\n

As a result of this terrifying event, all local bird owners are now required to ensure their pets have beak coverings when they cannot social distance from other birds. Canaries, cockatoos, parrots and budgies are all subject to the new law but mynah birds are exempt as it was thought that putting a mask over their beak and preventing them from speaking for any period of time would cause them too much anxiety (akin to the anxiety of humans who make videos on You Tube that opposes the official dribble – these videos are promptly removed for human safety reasons).<\/p>\n

In the first show it is also believed Hapless Hancock will announce new, stricter measures to prevent the spread of Corona virus. According to the latest science, the virus can now make its way into a person\u2019s system via the skin, hair, anus and ears, and so it will become mandatory to wear full body coverings when indoors. Recommended coverings are hazmat suits, suits of armour, (circa 16th Century) or a beekeeper\u2019s outfit purchased from a reputable supplier. In the event that you do not own any of these, a home-made body covering will suffice and can be made out of any household material including old rags, toilet rolls or bits of coal. To help with designing your own body covering, a new billion-pound website has been set up by the Department of Health and Social Care.<\/p>\n

Expert Advice<\/h2>\n

As well as full body coverings the latest expert advice is that a kipper placed strategically in one\u2019s underwear should help prevent the spread of the virus (it helps with anti social distancing due to odour repulsion apparently). A study carried out by Poppycock University in Cambridge has shown that the viral load of the virus is inversely proportional to the size of fish used, but it is only true for kippers. Other piscine species have been trialled, but so far without success. Members of the public visiting their local fishmongers will be reminded to stay at least 10 salmon lengths apart at all times – apparently, another reason for the tarmacking of strategic areas of the county’s towns.<\/p>\n

As new cases and fatalities are falling every day it is thought that the Corona virus has mutated to become craftier due to a hitherto unknown gene called the sneaky gene. It is now believed by experts to have changed its modus operandi and is causing a completely different set of symptoms. These new list of symptoms will be revealed on the show but are known to include, \u2018looking slightly bewildered, walking with an odd gait, looking at other people in a funny manner and talking with a strange accent.\u2019 Strange accents, especially in summer, are common in Welsh seaside towns.<\/p>\n

The police are due to organise a press conference in the next few days where they will be encouraging the public to report anybody showing any of these signs to the authorities, emphasising it is now everyone\u2019s public duty to spy on their neighbours and be wary of anyone new in the area, particularly if they have a limp and sound a little bit foreign.<\/p>\n

As an incentive, a new scheme is to be introduced called, \u2018Squeal for a meal,\u2019 whereby any member of the public that grasses on another for acting oddly will get a voucher for a free meal at any local restaurant.<\/p>\n

The programme will also feature the new virus behaviour modelling expert, Madame Zaza, who will predict the course of the virus by various methods including reading tea leaves whilst blindfolded, counting how many Natterjack toads will gather on the trunk of a fallen oak tree before sunset, recording how long it takes a piece of cheese to go mouldy in an enclosed environment and seeing how many boiled sweets she can suck in an hour –\u00a0 whilst wearing a Mickey Mouse mask. Madame Zaza\u2019s essential work will be sponsored by Mint Imperial college, London.<\/p>\n

The latest science says these are the most accurate ways of predicting the behaviour of the virus as opposed to the previous method of thinking of a number, subtracting it from the average height of a giant sequoia tree, multiplying it by the distance between the moon and the earth at the time of a lunar eclipse and then adding a squillion to get the final figure.<\/p>\n

This, of course, was the method employed by Fiddler Ferguson, the professor guilty of fiddling with the figures whilst he fiddled with his mistress.<\/p>\n

Bo-Jo’s Role<\/h2>\n

Melodious Bo-Jo<\/p><\/div>\n

The programme will also cater for the musically minded, as it will feature Bo-Jo the clown, doing a cover version of the Fun Boy Three\u2019s hit, The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum, performed on a dither. (A dither is another form of the zither but is used solely by those who haven\u2019t got a clue what they are doing). Accompanying him will be the Health Secretary and the Chief Medical Officer. It is thought The Glum Boy Three will have a regular slot on the programme.<\/p>\n

Despite all the measures that will be highlighted in the show, a leaked document from the cabinet office has predicted that the only way to truly eradicate the virus is by culling the entire population so that it has no more potential hosts.<\/strong> To this end, another scheme is being advised where you can commit suicide to avoid catching COVID. It will be called, \u2018Check Out to Help Out.\u2019<\/p>\n

It is envisaged that there will be a large uptake, as many members of the public desperately want to stay COVID safe. However, if demand does not meet the required level, the scheme will become mandatory. Those unwilling to comply will be effectively water-boarded into submission by being forced to wear a dirty, home-made face mask during a heavy rainstorm (rainstorms are a common occurrence in Wales).<\/p>\n
