hello there, this is the cats minder. i'm sorry to say that my little darling probably won't be in the next scene, due to other commitments. and i'm so sorry that she shredded that little black-and-white, um, was it a dog? but after all, the little dear was attacked. really, you should keep dangerous animals like that under control!

Request from a poor, tired Director... [Snore]

Re: Cafe

Please could we try and keep all shop talk to the Rehearsal Hall and away from the Gangway. It's great to see so many people entering into the spirit of the thing; making the Nativity play the undoubted success it is (Eutychus is snowed under with bookings [Wink] ) but...we do need to give a thought to other people wbo aren't as involved. I'd feel pretty miffed for example,if I logged in and all my fellow coffee drinkers were yattering on about the football results ad nauseam [Snore]

ta
Miffy

p.s. And don't forget the Union noticeboard and audience participation threads. Use them!

OK Listen Up All Cast Members

On Friday we have the big Other Visitors To The Stable Scene. This is the big chance for all the backstage crew, plus any members of the cast who haven't yet had the opportunity or courage to tread the boards to do so.

Please be onstage promptly to get in queue to see the Christ-child (and Evil Twin of course) bearing gifts. But none of this namby-pamby perfume rubbish - bring practical, unusual or just plain expected presents.

So there you are - your big chance to shine. Don't mess it up. Or if you do, do it in a funny manner. And remember - speak slowly and c l e a r l y.

You can't rely on Cub leaders to do the right thing any more, can you? Akela has decided to have a Christmas Party for the Cubs on Friday night, despite all my protestations. I am trying frantically to organise someone to pick Tiddles up after the party, but if I fail to do so, I won't be home and online until about nine. Visitors will just have to form an orderly queue at the stable door and wait patiently. [Big Grin]

(Of course, if Tiddles misbehaves between now and then, I might have to ban him from the party! [Help] )

So does this mean I get to toaadle along to the stable as well? I mean, I'm just an everso 'umble (ish) musician?

As is typical for my w@*#kplace, a Case Review meeting which was supposed to begin an hour ago and was pushed up to this hour has yet to begin.

There is no telling when it will start now, and even worse is how long it will last.

Sorry, I might not be backstage for while this evening. Will sign in as soon as I can. I'm praying as I type for this #@*#### ordeal just to be cancelled. [Tear]

Posted 26. November 2002 22:57

The Sunday School Xmas play was in full swing.
Mary and Joseph came down the aisle of the church, looking very sweet and solemn.
"Mary" looked over at her family.... Daddy, Mummy and the 2 six month old twin boys. They were so proud of her!
They walked behind the pulpit, and re-appeared. Mary loving clutched the baby doll wrapped in a rug.
As clergy MC, I announced that they had been given a son by God. Joseph spoke strongly. "His name is Jesus!"
They walked over to the crib, and were about to lay Jesus therein, when Mary looked troubled. She glanced at me, and I craned my head- aha, a Sunday School teacher had goofed up. There was a baby Jesus doll already there in the crib! What was I to do?
But Mary kept her calm. She picked up the second doll, and announced with great joy "And this one is called Malcolm. He is Jesus' loved twin brother, and they are identical!"
So I did my usual giggle giggle giggle

Actually, upon reflection, the existance of such a twin might explain many of the mysteries found in the gospels....

Hi, Kelly here. I've been having a rough couple of days, computer/life wise, and I apologise for my abscence on the board. I will be raring to go tomorrow, though.

I suppose I have been aptly punished in that I have missed the Baby Jesus! [Waterworks]

I have a party engagement at 14.00 GMT-6 so I shan't make curtain up. Break a leg; I'm there with you in (Great) Spirit, sibs. It's been fun and has made what would have been a melancholy roll-up to the Big Day filled with splatterings of mirth.

Ohhhh there's hours yet for things to go pear-shaped in.

'Specially as our pilot seems to be asleep at the wheel.

Anyone up for the auto-pilot failing? [Snigger]

This is beginning to sound like we're getting the cast party food sorted.

So far we have:

Mince pies - Director
Pringles - Strings (note to self: keep 'em away from Joseph)
Brandy butter - no offers yet

Anyone else got anything to contribute?
Tea-lady?

Well, that's it folks. The curtain has descended. The fat lady has sung.

I vote we have three cheers for our Director and Musical Director.
