OB You've confused the Prophets with pomme-frites. Actually I sent the prophets home with some pomme-frites and kept the profits for necessary and unnegotiable expenses.

<Gosh, I wish they hadn't cancelled Dirk Gently...>

Wow, can we really send MC all the way to Seattle just for some chips? It's April already and panto season will be creeping up on us again before we know it, can we really spare the time? Couldn't we just order some pizza?

Does it start " on a village green" ? All pantos start on a village green.

Panto needs a dancing hero.

someone like Rudolph in Giselle (London Colisseum roughly 1979)

perhaps to be played by 'Leapy Lee' interpreting 'Jumping Jack Flash'

if budget overruns we need to have a plan B so need to investigate cutting costs by employing one half of a comedy duo.

exits for a cup of tea, two sugars.

An answer to your PM Skids... of course I meant rambling Syd rumpo, but being a lady and always busy and in a hurry to get to my next task which at the moment in question was ironing pies for tea I did not check what I had wroted.


( also tried to send you a PM in reply but got really bogged down and then sidetracked by the intricasies of the operation and failed miserably)

MP3's good idea.

perhaps the principal boy could be Dame Celia Molestrangler?

and the panto cat could be Binky Huckerback?

I think they have done it many times, many, many times.

O.K. everybody - now we've had our chips perhpas we could all just seattle down and concentrate.

Bunyip, you were distinctly told you could have the role of village idiot, you seem to have misunderstood. Still that's the trouble with type casting, perhaps we should try Skype?

Which reminds me - this year's panto will have a live pod cast. I ordered a ton of plaster of Paris, well in advance, so no room forerror there then.

'a live pod' cast?

Does that mean the we will have orcas on stage?

Sounds as if we're going to have a whale of a time!


The orcas could play the part of the GIANT'S goldfish.
