Title: Christmas preparation
Post by: Diane CBPFC on November 25, 2011, 12:09:58 AM
All the shopping, card and letter writing, baking, tree trimming and house decorating, wrapping, cleaning and cooking...we wouldn't have to do any of that if we could just get Beau Peep set up as a tax-credited cult in the next few weeks.

But how would Dennis get his bike?

Knowing Dennis, I thought he would have nicked one by now.

He would have nicked the lamppost the bike was secured to, knowing his intelligence.

Mince could play the part of Dennis if we had a panto.

Why, will you be too ill to play the part this year?

No, Nige will be once again playing the part of the lamp-post.

Well, I've always been upright and quite bright up top.

Has anyone had a spectacularly dull part in a play? I'm sure I've mentioned before that, at the age of five or six, I played a tree and a wave in a production of "The Owl and the Pussycat". Several of us held plywood triangles, one side blue to represent a wave and the other side green to represent a tree. These were to be used appropriately when the owl and the pussycat were either at sea or on an island. Needless to say, I buggered it up at one stage and was happily waving a blue tree around. Not that this bothers me, 55 years on.
My thespian career died on that evening---a lonely blue wave in a forest of green trees.

I went to a parish church school and we put on a play in the church next door. I of course was type cast as an angel.  :-*

I used to be in the school choir. I remember all the rehearsals and didn't really enjoy them if the truth be told, but my voice was fairly near perfect. The funny thing is, I quite like a lot of the old hymn tunes these days, that back then I didn't much.

I remember "Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel" (which I hated then, but now like), "Silent Night", "Hairs on Her Dickie-Die-Doe", and "In the Bleak Midwinter", (which I also now like), and several other that we sang/rehearsed to death.

Maybe we appreciate tunes more as we get older, but I now look back fondly on them.

Oddly enough, I don't remember being a part of the nativity the following year. Or any year after that, actually.  ???
