Christmas Panto 2008As in the last three (?) years, Nanny has again showed a willingness to step into the breach and script write and organise the Shed Panto. However we need, at fairly short order, to know who is up for it, and what dates they are not available.Answers on a postcard please...........

| lloyd |

|
||||
| Jacky |

|

| Cabbagepatch |
OOOoooooooooooooh well volunteered Nanny. Count me in 
|
||||
| lloyd |
Most evenings are good for me. | ||||
| agapanthus |
How do we do it???? | ||||
| Cabbagepatch |
aggie, you just watch this space......... | ||||
| lloyd |
Aggie, go to "View posts since last visit", and click on the other Christmas Panto" thread. All details there. | ||||
| Becki |
As long as I'm not working. | ||||
| Kathy |
Aggie, a few large drinks are mandatory, oh yes, and being able to play more than one part at a time, you might end up talking to yourself!
|
||||
| alison |
yes please
|
||||
| Libby |
I'm not very good at this sort of thing, thats why I haven't done it before 
|
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
Oh go on Libby its good fun.
Nanny usually ends up having a nervous breakdown after trying to keep us all in order....
|
||||
| lloyd |
Here's an example of it, ....all 38 pages of it!!

| nanny-now and forever |
god did we really do that ? i can't remember must have been the subsequent breakdown that has erased my memory |
||||
| Kathy |
 Did we really do that, no wonder Nanny had a breakdown.
|
||||
| Jacky |
Do you sort of make up your own script as you go along but in keeping with the story
Oh my, I think I will need to get my family on board to help me
The typing is not the problem, it's trying to be funny - right now 
|
||||
| lloyd |
Kind of. Nanny usually keeps us more or less in line, and if that doesn't work she sips a glass of Ardbeg and sighs deeply.
|
||||
| Libby |
I have the same problem, bit slow you see
|
||||
| Aqui |
i might be able to join, depending on the little man. | ||||
| nanny-now and forever |
it really isn't difficult once you have a glass or two in your hand....the only problem is people's pooters tend to be slow so it takes them a while to put their lines on
and some other people sometimes disappear and have ice cream....

What during A Panto???
|
||||
| nanny-now and forever |
oh sorry did i hear a little voice? yes, during a panto.....and for a very long time................................................................................................................................................................................................................ |
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
Absolutely disgraceful 
|
||||
| lloyd |
Ok so how about a Friday night then, maybe halfway through the month?...ish?
|
||||
| Becki |
Count me out for a Friday then. I have to work. | ||||
| lloyd |
Only a suggestion Becki.
Why don't you suggest a night?
|
||||
| Becki |
Any night but Friday, Saturday or Sunday. | ||||
| lloyd |
Cool. So what does everyone else fancy as their ideal night for an evening online silly panto?
|
||||
| Kathy |
Any night except 18th ( I do live the highlife up here!). | ||||
| alison |
I'm fairly easy. No social life here at all! 
|
||||
| nanny-now and forever |
due to circumstances i can't do the nights of the 14-17th december i am afraid
that's 4 nights i shall be out..... pressures of work don't you know |
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
As the bright young things I currently work alongside would say "This is mission critical so I'll check my Blackberry for a window of opportunity. Obviously I'm pushed for time and have a lot hanging on me finding blue sky scenarios and cool ideas to bring to the table."
OK, any night is good for me!! |
||||
| lloyd |
I'll fit in with everyone else. Just need someone to make a decision, NANNY
|
||||
| nanny-now and forever |
ok it's time i took an executive decision here.....
i can do either the 18th or 19th of december i shall plump for the 18th have we had any other ideas other than peter pan about which i know nothing? if not then peter pan it is.... get the alcohol in and prepare yourselves....... you see i can be assertive when i want to be just ask mr nanny..................... 
|
||||
| lloyd |
I think it would be fun to redo Cinderalla.
What do you think? cp's just saying how about a nursery rhyme type thing, like the wolf that blows down the three little piggies house or suchlike? |
||||
| nanny-now and forever |
how would that work?
a regular panto that would be in rhyme? don'think a rehash of an old one would work, has to be a new one i think...more spontaneity i could look up peter pan on that website called "he's behind you" and see if it is on there....that's where i read the other ones any other views? come along now ....don't be shy, it really isn't difficult |
||||
| Cabbagepatch |
whichever night and whichever panto. i shall be there. in full costume of course.
let me know soon please so i can brush up on my lines.....
|
||||
| lloyd |
I'm up for anything anytime Nanny. You know that.
|
||||
| Libby |
Aladdin? | ||||
| Kathy |
OH NO, can we have the 19th, the 18th is the ONLY night I'm going out........................... |
||||
| Becki |
I will be working, but don't worry about me I'm sure I'll get to a panto one year.
|
||||
| nanny-now and forever |
ok, i will replump for the 19th...i thought we were going to be at another one of millie's engagements but that is a day time on on the 19th so i will be free
so the 19th and i will investigate both of those pantos when i get a spare moment (she said, laughing) |
||||
| lloyd |
Good good, so are we all replumping for the 19th or what? | ||||
| nanny-now and forever |
the 19th of december.....
is mthat ok with everybody else? maybe eveen becki? |
||||
| lloyd |
Fine with us two, Nansters. | ||||
| Kathy |
|
||||
| Becki |
No, it's a Friday and I have to work 
|
||||
| Kathy |
Oh b******s Becki, what time do you finish? | ||||
| Becki |
23.30 or 0.30 if it shuts at midnight
|
||||
| Kathy |
It's likely that Nanny will have had her yearly breakdown by then...........................
|
||||
| nanny-now and forever |
oh becki
can't you throw a sickie for one night? swap a rest day? |
||||
| Becki |
They won't let me swap, it's too near Christmas. I need to save my 'sickie' days I'm afraid, incase Mark can't get back one day. It dosn't matter, I'm sure I'll make it one year
