Other than that, what would people like to chat about? I so miss the GN Olympics thread, that was so lighthearted. Now we seem to be back to bad tempered, bad-mouthing of others and intolerance of other viewpoints in posts.

Come on peeps, let's have a bit of humour back!

Good start - you have me hooked already Katek. More please.

(Enter King & Queen)

King: Greetings, my people!

Queen; (aside) His people? Not for much longer once I've got rid of the great fat fool! (Sees Jeremy) And what are you doing down there? Get up at once and find a seat before someone trips over you!

Jeremy: As you command, oh Virgin Queen!

Queen: I gave up that job a very long time ago..,,

Here comes their carriage now! See how their jester Jeremy flings himself from the carriage door crying that he had to sit on the floor.grin

If we do Cinderalla I'm quite happy to look after the mice before they are changed into horses for the coach. Would also feed the cat if it's Dick Whittington. If it's Little Miss Muffet then you can forget me, I don't do spiders.shock

Can I be in the panto orchestra? I am pretty nifty on the tissue paper and comb - or I am quite good at playing on the linoleum. A virtuoso some would say. Please let me know so I can start practising. Oh, I am soooo excited!! grin

Reckon many of us will be more suited to the Paralympics, do they have an arthritis category for the elderly?

thatbags Thu 25-Aug-16 07:21:55

I hope so, mm! Can I bagsy the grape stomping job!

millymouge Thu 25-Aug-16 01:37:44

Will we have to tread the grapes ourselves?

grannyactivist Thu 25-Aug-16 00:32:02

Ilrina it works best when the GN participants allow their imaginations to run riot - often whilst lubricated by the juice of the grain or the grape! grin

Ilrina Thu 25-Aug-16 00:04:10

errrm how does a GN Panto work?

merlotgran Wed 24-Aug-16 22:49:03

Ahem! Wouldn't she say, 'It's LYNDA, not Linda......Sniff!

phoenix Wed 24-Aug-16 22:43:49

For a GN panto a few years back I submitted some scenes written in verse.

phoenix Wed 24-Aug-16 22:42:02

The Linda Snell sniff is almost an art form, nothing to do with a runny nose, more an indication of indignation or disapproval expressed nasally!

Ana Wed 24-Aug-16 22:01:03

No, apparently we should stay in more and listen to The Archers! grin

Charleygirl Wed 24-Aug-16 21:59:32

Never heard of Linda Snell- should I get out more?

Mildred Wed 24-Aug-16 21:26:07

Know know who she is, not an Archers' fan

fiorentina51 Wed 24-Aug-16 21:17:43

I can do a pretty good Lynda Snell sniff. Just saying.

Mildred Wed 24-Aug-16 21:15:07

Lovely, but who is Linda Snell?

Bellasnana Wed 24-Aug-16 21:06:33

I was the back end of a horse in a school play once so I will happily volunteer again. Just hope the front end will keep off the beans grin

Cherrytree59 Wed 24-Aug-16 21:01:23

Charleygirl
We had a cat once that would only sit on DH shoulder!
We always said that he must have been a parrot in previous life!

Charleygirl Wed 24-Aug-16 20:32:21

Cherrytree59 that would be good- money is tight, you would have the patch and crutches and I am sure could find an old pair of trousers to wear. Surely one GN has a friendly parrot? If not it will have to be a cat.

Our sponsors were not over impressed with cocaine in the ukelele so we only have some money left over from the last Olympics. With the interest rate falling yet again, we are stymied. I was thinking about peer to peer lending if the remainder of the committee were up for that.

Cherrytree59 Wed 24-Aug-16 18:46:58

Would love to help with Panto
But please can I not be the back end of the horse.
With my hot flushes it would just be to much!
Going to be on crutches soon so could manage an eye patch and a parrot on shoulder. .

granjura Wed 24-Aug-16 18:21:18

so I'll respect that of course.
