Christmas preparation
« 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.

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.

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 once held up audience participation cards from behind a screen during an am dram production in the Falkland Islands.

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.  :-*
