Now we are all back home after our success at the GN Olympics, it is time to turn minds to the Xmas Panto.
So, all you thespians, get your thinking caps on and suggest what we can perform.
If there is a part for a fat, grumpy old git, then I am your man.

We could do "Pussy in Boots" (other chemists are available)

"Jack and his Beanstalk"

"Mother's been Goosed"

Not sure if these are quite correct. OH yes they are ........

Can I be in the all singing, all dancing chorus please? Do we have a choreographer? I can sing harmony and have done some line dancing!

Does Hanky Panky sound like Alan Rickman and look like Monty Don? Not that I am interested, just curious wink

Wobblybits Tue 27-Sept-16 18:22:54

Thanks PC, I was trying to remember who he was, he was Wishy Washy's son I think.

Pittcity Tue 27-Sept-16 18:17:16

He's in Aladdin isn't he,*wobbly*? A friend of Wishy Washy!

Wobblybits Tue 27-Sept-16 15:58:36

It's ok if you have a justified reason for going into the bushes, like looking for Hanky Panky.

Anniebach Tue 27-Sept-16 15:30:24

Spoil sport

Wobblybits Tue 27-Sept-16 15:17:59

Anyone going into the bushes with the fire person must be accompanied the Panto health and safety inspector

We had the firemen involved at a hilarious virtual party we held on Glastonbury Tor.
A cat/dog called Donald/Duncan got his rump burned and someone disappeared into the bushes with one of the firemen.

Wobblybits Tue 27-Sept-16 14:25:34

Has to be something polite, after all he is an OFFicer.

Swanny Tue 27-Sept-16 14:13:22

Hmm, a Panto Inspector of Safety and Security. Now what could we call him ...?

Wobblybits Tue 27-Sept-16 12:17:37

Perhaps we could have a Panto health and safety inspector, must be a source of many jokes.

Falconbird Tue 27-Sept-16 11:35:38

It's OK folks the flames will be virtual so we can have lots. Judthepud2 sorry I forgot you in the cast list, Tinkerbell with lots of fairy dust.

millymouge Tue 27-Sept-16 11:32:39

Sorry - away

millymouge Tue 27-Sept-16 11:31:48

Definitely must have one. Bet there aren't many flame throwing dragons in panto the days with all the rules and regs. At least on Gransnet we can get any with most things.

Wobblybits Tue 27-Sept-16 11:17:18

Oh yes it is !!

Anniebach Tue 27-Sept-16 11:08:26

Perhaps a flame throwing dragon was not one of my better ideas grin

Wobblybits Tue 27-Sept-16 10:38:33

If we have a Welsh Dragon breathing fire all over the stage, it could be more than your house that was burning.

Anniebach Tue 27-Sept-16 10:32:29

A hunky female doesn't realy appeal to me , unless my house was on fire

Wobblybits Tue 27-Sept-16 10:30:12

I'm sure some of our ladies would welcome a hunky fireman on standby -- or is that sexist ? I guess it is, so we will have a hunky fire person on standby.

Anniebach Tue 27-Sept-16 10:18:17

Yes real flames, it is a Welsh dragon grin I will bring my own fire extinguisher and fire blanket - I was in the scout movement

millymouge Tue 27-Sept-16 10:03:06

Will the dragon be having real flames. If so we ought to get the fire service on board, or at the very least a very long hose.

Anniebach Mon 26-Sept-16 21:56:32

Crafting, your dad born in the Rhondda , you choose which half of the dragon you want to be ?

Crafting Mon 26-Sept-16 21:53:26

Anniebach can't speak Welsh but my father was born in Treherbert and worked in the coal mines. Would that be enough for me to be accepted as the back half of the dragon? I am already udderstudy to the backend of the cow but would be happy to be the rear end of the dragon too.smile

Perhaps it could bring my winch as well! Save on petrol.

Given the violent exercise we seem to be planning and our age would it be wise to sort out the Tena Lady Lorry again. I seem to remember we had it on our last outing to Tintagel and it came in very useful.
