    you obviously get classy Pantos in Cheshire. No surprise really !

    Enjoy your night out, hope you have a County win to celebrate.
    I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

    I am not a number, I am a free man.

        Love it!!

        Reminds me of the 'Round the Horne' repartee, in a sketch set somewhere very rural

        - [mummerset accent] Mornin' sir, 'ow come you be down in these parts again?

        - [Kenneth Williams] I've got a lousy agent
        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          I could say more ... [BR, locally known as 'the Gas' because their old stadium was next to the Gasworks. Fans = Gasheads]

          (Stand by to repel the boarders?)
          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            I thought it was in the 'Palone Ranger' episode, set in the Wild West, with the first line being 'What brings you down to these parts?'.

            This also has one of my favourite couplets: 'He packs a forty-four. Doesn't wear it - He takes a thirty three'.

              ....didn't know that one!

              I was reminded the other day of:

              - We get it from our special charcuterie

              - Charcuterie.... your butcher?

              - You think so? Must be the way I've had me hair done

                Remember Special Agent Horne? "I lay in the laundry basket breathing in short pants and feeling a little shirty."

                    HORNE: Would I have vada’d any of them do you think?
                    SANDY: Oooaaawwh! He’s got all the Palare, ain’t he?

                      But, to get back on topic, for nominations, if there is to be a Mystical Wizard or a Genie, I vote for eightobstruction. And, Jayne Lee Wilson to be Principal Boy. (Edit: Because she likes thigh-high boots and fashion)
                      Are you kidding? The role of Principal Boy fits me as perfectly as Oscar Wilde did Stephen Fry! DEFINITELY got the legs for it . As for the boots...there's part of the wardrobe already paid for... I have two pairs of OTKs, I spend the winter in them, but one only gets worn when the other needs repairing.

                      Haven't worn hotpants for a while, but I could try cutting down on the pasta and valpolicella...

                      I have a Vanity Case with "Puss-in-Boots" on it too...

                          There is a role called the Demon King in 'Mother Goose'.... (the Demon Typist King)...

                          I'm sure we can work you in...
