Gransnet Xmas Panto.

Those charcoal pants are called Shreddies Gilly not to be confused with the things that the grans on the tv advert knit.
I am pleased that the role of Long John Silver is back up for grabs as I have given up my crutches.
For many years I have had a secret ambition to appear on stage completely kitted out in pink tutu and wings to sing " nobody loves a fairy when she's forty" age would have to be adjusted of course.
Can this be incorporated please?

Could he please play my front end Pittcity ? There are some bums I wouldn't mind my head being pressed against.

I could ask my cousin Brad if he's free, Although it may be his turn to have the kids!

We can write anyone or thing in that we want, the more ridiculous the better.

Looking through Panto titles, Icam across a series of scripts for Rhyming pantos, sounds like that could fit our forum format quite well.
I like the suggestion of Grandsel and Grettal

Was there a cow in Aladdin ? Or could we just write one in?

I could of course be the miserable (little person) in Snow White. Grumpy (cow).

I obviously have no idea of your working hours, phoenix - as I say, I merely meant that there are three whole months until Christmas, not that you had time on your hands!

I vote for Jack and his beanstalk and then I can get swapped for some magic beans.

Will definitely need them charcoal gusset knickers if there's beans involved.

phoenix I was almost certain that you were working most of the week and with a house and garden etc to look after I doubt if you have too much "me" time.

I agree, we have to find out which panto we will choose.

Panto time is nearly here, it's time for us to choose, Jack and his beanstalk, Cinderella and her shoes?

Or maybe Aladdin and his lamp, or Snow White and and her small friends, I will wait for all your posts to see the way the voting trends!

Whilst I am very happy to be a cow, I do draw the line at being the donkey wobblybits

Unless of course we do the nativity in which case I will have a starring role.

phoenix, I meant time until Christmas...

Come on phoenix you can do it. "Oh no I can't.....oh yes you can etc. It's behind you .....

Not masses of time, Ana, working 3 days a week, sometimes 4.

Why are you sad wobbly? Do you want to strut your stuff (!) with the Tiller girls too?

Get your dancing shoes on girls -- I will be the choreographer and will be auditioning you all for a high kick routine Tiller Girls style for the finale .

Then you must write some more for this one, phoenix! At least you've got plenty of time...

I seem to remember writing rhyming stuff for a previous GN panto, could be wrong, often am...............

Gillybob I am still laughing at the thought of a charcoal gusset.

Charleygirl start writing NOW please. There is a great expectation that you will come up with some good ditties for the show.

Luckygirl I will try and avoid a hospital visit at C.....mas*

Off to pour myself a chilled sherry, I deserve it. I don't know why but I do.

I took part in a hospital doctors' C****** show many moons ago. It was called "Trench Foot, or Pus in Boots!" Typical medical humour.

One character playing a patient on a ward was dressed in a striped nightshirt and had a catheter bag full of yellow water (at least I assume that is what it was!) with a goldfish swimming around in it.

I was dressed in a sister's uniform and had to sweep in singing (a la Sound of Music) "The wards are alive with the sound of mucous" - those were the days!

perhaps a panto Donkey would be safer all round.

Oh I must get to choose my own front end Charleygirl.

I saw some special pants advertised in a Woman's magazine recently. Apparently the knickers have a special charcoal gusset built in "to filter out those embarrassing accidents". I kid you not.

It would be far more dangerous for you than me Wobblybits

Be very careful who you choose for the front end as flatulence maybe an issue.

Gillybob, be careful what you wish for, don't forget milking time
