Would it be too much to ask if there could be ONE tiny section on the Beau Peep notice board that Mince was banned from. In other words, he could not fart about with the sub-headings, he could not move the thread, he could not hide the thread, he could not even post on the thread (for at least eight weeks as he is slowly rehabilitated).
He is like a chipmunk on speed.
Thank you for considering this plea.
On behalf of the CBPFC,

Diane, speaking as an administrator and moderator, no.
Mince is omnipotent.
-
You do realise that Dianne cannot see this forum.
-
Can't she? Maybe just as well, or she may get mad that you spelt her name incorrectly.

I thought this was just a nasty rumour started by TT111!

Diane, I think the chipmunk has sabotaged the forum so that only he has charge of all the buttons.
-
How did Diane post on it, if she can't see it?

I think it is a great idea could we have a vote on it.

Diane, a few of us are planning a breakaway. Email me using the secret password "minceisbonkers".

Diane can see the forums again. I control the vertical and horizontal here.

Mince, by any chance, do you sit in a high-backed leather chair, smoking a cigarette and stroking a fluffy, white cat? Wearing an eye-patch? You know... you....not the cat...

It's the other way round. I smoke the cat . . .

Colin, you're the one we're breaking away from. ;D

Colin, we are absolutely not planning a breakaway.
JURY OFFICIALS IN NOTTINGHAM UNDER SUSPICION. (Sh! Read the first letter of each word.)

"Mince" has the word "nice" in it.

OK. Which adjective applies to Mince, and why?
-
look at the first letter of each word
-
I think we all spotted that straight away.

Okay, then would it be too much to ask if Peter couldn't just duct-tape Mince to a chair and lock him in the coal shed for a few months?
-
I don't think coal sheds exist any more!
I would have thought just duct-taping Mince's fingers closed would do the trick. Unless, of course, he can use his nose to type!
-

Even better, it would be the last place the police would look for him. ;)

The police would only look for Mince if someone reported him missing; who's going to do that?

I think Mince should be given a life penalty. What do you think Herr Kettlegruppenmeister?

I would feel it was my duty, Vult. I'd be round to our local constabulary like a shot, I would. I'd tell them straight. "Our Mince is missing!" I'd say....

Tarquin, you're too kind hearted for your own good. It'll only lead to tears. :'(

Or me being locked away for my own good, having gone to the police to report missing mince.

I'd back you up Tarq - I'd say there were also some onions missing too.

Me to. I will say that someone stole my potatoes.

This is beginning to look like the classic scene in 'The Steamie' about Galloway's mince!

What's 'The Steamie' and who's Galloway?
-
There's a Galloway Chutney... could that be steamed?

'The Steamie' is a musical comedy, written by Tony Roper, who is probably more famous for playing Rab C. Nesbitt's best pal, Jamesie Cotter, on TV. It's set on a 1950's Glasgow wash house, where the wimminfowk used to gather to do their laundry. It's one of the most wonderful stage plays I've ever seen.
About ten years ago, I took my mother to see it at the beautiful Pitlochry Festival Theatre on the banks of the Tummel. It was the last time she was physically able to make our annual trip for her birthday. She almost died laughing (and she's German!).
I've just ordered the DVD on ebay - can't wait!
-
Thanks for the info, Tarquin. (I'm none the wiser, really. The last 'play' I saw was Hair - sometime in the sixties!)
-
where the wimminfowk used to gather to do their laundry
Music to my ears. Of course that was before the lazy things had machines to help do it for them.

We wouldn't need machines if people didn't keep inventing cloth that was 'Machine Washable'!
Beware, Peepmaster. We 'lazy things' definitely have ways of making you pay for that remark! >:(

Sorry Vulch. Of course I know not all women are "lazy things".
I once heard of one in Redditch who wasn't.

Just keep going, Peeps. God will get her own back as soon as she reads your post!!!!!

Thanks for explaining 'The Steamie', Tarquin. I posted that comment and then haven't been able to visit here since! I also saw it at Pitlochry and was talking recently about seeing it at the McRobert in Stirling at another time. Not that I want to make you envious, but I was talking about it to none other than Una McLean who reckoned it was one of the best parts she ever played.
-
Ah, name-dropping - the rocky path to vicarious immortality, or so Peter Ustinov and Archbishop Desmond Tutu were fond of telling me (though it may have been "immorality").
Una's a legend. I'm pretty certain she was in the Pitlochry version I saw, Lil, possibly as Mrs Culfeathers (do ask her next time you chat)? I used to see her occasionally, buzzing around Perth when she was at our local Rep. She had enormous energy (no doubt still has) and is one of the finest character actors Scotland has ever produced, particularly in comedy roles, but certainly not exclusively. And of course, she married another of Scotland's greats in Russell Hunter, probably best known for his marvellous portrayal of the downbeat 'Lonely' in the great 70's TV series, Callan - you could almost smell him in that. Sadly, he passed away a few years back, but he, also, was a wonderful character actor.
Envious indeed, Lil. I can't imagine there was ever a dull moment in that conversation.

I was at a preview of "The Winter's Tale" at the Lyceum to see Roger's friend (and mine), Colin Tarrant. I was catching up with Colin after the show and each member of the cast gradually appeared and all made a point of saying hello to Colin's guest....I have never met a less-luvvie group before. In amongst this, Una McLean came out, screamed "you must be Colin's friend from Killin" and embraced me like a long-lost cousin. There followed a riotous hour of chat, reminiscence and teaching Colin Scottish phrases. Apparently she had told him earlier that he was her 'lumber' that night and he was waiting to ask me what it meant! She is a totally unassuming whirlwind and a totally unbelievable 77...she has a large, energetic part in the play and I couldn't believe her age. I'm going back this Saturday with my daughter, for the matinee this time and can only hope she's around then as well
-
As a footnote to my sister's piece, I'm off to see the play in Edinburgh next Wednesday before jetting off the next day for a week in Portugal. (Yes, I know---I took 9 days off 13 months ago. It's non-stop holidays for me.)
I'm looking forward to meeting Ms. McLean. Apparently, her late husband, Russel Hunter, had an original Andy Capp by Reg Smythe which she gave away after his death, something she has since regretted. The plan is to replace it with one that I've written. Not quite the same as one by the great Smythe but, hopefully, a nice wee memento.
Anyway, wish me luck. I hate Shakespeare.
-
Shakespeare's excellent, Roger - seen him several times. No, hang on- it was his sister.
That's a lovely description of Una, Lil, and one I'm certain she would be delighted with. Russell Hunter would have been a great Andy Capp if they'd ever done a Scottish theatrical version.
-
Russell Hunter as Andy Capp? Yep, it should have happened!
I suppose it's wrong of me to say that I hate Shakespeare. I simply don't understand most of it, although, to be honest, apart from the obligatory stuff at school, I haven't given it much of a chance.
Await my review in a couple of weeks....
"Colin Tarrant, the voice of Beau Peep and Colonel Escargot, was superb in Shakespeare's...."
