Shall we put on a panto say on 28th Dec when the hoo ha has died down. We could do it like a free form chat.
Which one shall we do and what part will you volunteeer for- we can have several people playing the same part.
Anyone game?
Oh yes you are!!!!!!!!!!grin

Of all the panto roles that are free
A fairy grandgodmother I would be
I'd love to think my magic might
Help poor Cinders in her plight

That poor young woman needs a hand
I'll give it with my fairy wand
Makeovers are my special trick
And all it takes is just one flick

But hang on just a tiny mo
Is marriage to prince the only show?
What about uni? Or crossing the sea?
Maybe it's not the role for me...

Hello fairygrandgodmother - I like it.

I think - Cinders should be asked what she wants.

I'm going to jump start the panto as I wont be around in the morning for unforseen reasons so apologise for any inconveneiance. I did think several gransnetters who are late birds might want to srart after midnight so I will open the thread now. Dont forget you can do whatever you want with it go back and forward in time, change characteres, double up on characters anything as long as you have great fun doing it.

Have a lovely panto.

Well, I am so glad that you all refused to be the back end of my pantomime horse because I have managed to recruit my virtual 'heartthrob' to fill the role. He will come over tonight so that we can practice synchronising our movements. See you tomorrow - I'll be the horse with the smile on my face.

JessM Tue 27-Dec-11 16:05:56

My mind is boggling granny23 positively agog. Enjoy!

Oxon70 Tue 27-Dec-11 16:47:38

I'm starving - going over there to find Cinders......

Anne58 Tue 27-Dec-11 16:55:15

Susiecb you can't disappear on us!

Actually, I may be unavailable for part of tomorrow (although I don't know which part) because as mentioned on Chat I am being favoured by a visit from ds & p plus grandchildren.

However the over the knee boots have been cleansed of cat furr (they are suede type stuff) and my thigh slapping is definitely coming on a treat.

Oxon70 Tue 27-Dec-11 17:15:18

I shall make a point of putting more cat furr on them..............

Anne58 Tue 27-Dec-11 17:46:33

Yes, but what colour oxon70 ?

The boots are black (yes, they are REAL over the knee boots) and the cat fluff was white!

Oxon70 Tue 27-Dec-11 18:24:29

White fluffy furrr...purrr

Anne58 Tue 27-Dec-11 18:32:33

Get thee to the right thread, before I put flea drops between your shoulder blades!

Oxon70 Tue 27-Dec-11 18:40:26

Eeek

Anne58 Tue 27-Dec-11 18:43:48

And let that be a lesson to you!

Oxon70 Tue 27-Dec-11 19:01:03

We just got pitchforked into this!

Actually I don't want to go on late - how about everyone else?

Mamie Tue 27-Dec-11 19:10:40

My dancers won't be appearing until tomorrow morning as they have another engagement tonight. Could Act 2 be tomorrow?

Oxon70 Tue 27-Dec-11 19:15:31

How about we set a time - or place in the story - to stop?

Ariadne Wed 28-Dec-11 08:11:44

Leaving here (Devon) in about an hour and heading to Cheltenham for DG2's 8th birthday and a bit of Christmas with them, so will hardly be around, I'm sorry to say. Will have a look in if I get a moment - have a great time. xxx

Oxon70 Wed 28-Dec-11 08:30:26

Is anyone here yet?

JessM Wed 28-Dec-11 08:45:15

Yup but not in panto state for several hours. Things to do...

em Wed 28-Dec-11 08:53:50

Ready but happy to go on hold until cast call. Can anyone tell me how to organise the Flip function so that the message box is next to the latest post please? Have tried but am failing.

Oxon70 Wed 28-Dec-11 09:10:37

I just pressed it and it did it?

Oxon70 Wed 28-Dec-11 09:11:39

Oh. It just goes back again....I pressed it again - but do you have to do it every time?

Carol Wed 28-Dec-11 09:12:12

Yes, mine did too, but then had to flip back again so message box next to latest post.

em Wed 28-Dec-11 09:12:26

Nope -won't do it. Are you on page 1 or page 7?

Oxon70 Wed 28-Dec-11 09:12:54

Ah - you use Customise and Save Options - I think that's it
