Now, Nanny we have to establish which thread we are having the panto in.
As I recall, last year we were in two different places. Well, I was anyway
|
| Cabbagepatch |
May I nominate leonie? She could play opposites, ugly sister to her poor illtreated cinders?
no pressure leonie! |
| Kathy |

| lloyd |
Ok Nanster, game for a giggle. Pass me some Ardbeg then? |
| Cabbagepatch |
