Em, the car wont start - looks like we may have to all bunk up in the car, way out here in the middle of the cold arabian/welsh desert. Not much fun for pregnant women or donkeys. I feel for sheep 3, poor chap.

Hmmm, yes. Afraid so! (oops, meant to say )
I think we may be stuck here for the night. Maybe in the morning the Fairy Godmother could walk into Bethlehem to fetch help. [ 15. December 2002, 11:28: Message edited by: Musical Director ]

# Throws stereo on to keep spirits up #
And when she knows what She wants from her time And when she wakes up And makes up her mind
She'll see I'm not so tough Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl You know I've seen her in her uptown world She's getting tired of her high class toys And all her presents from her uptown boys She's got a choice ...

So, if we're staying the night (smacks lips) who's got dinner? I'm game for anything anyone would care to create! A little pasta maybe, manna in a pinch, or just some stone ground bread?

Not another flaming synopsis
More rhyming couplets I can't think So for the story follow this link.
But here's the gist of last night's plot. Mary hit the road, but Joseph did not.
Mary went off upon a donkey At this point the plot went wonkey
She got a lift with a naughty boy To make better time her cunning ploy.
But his car has broken down On the way to Bethlehem town.
The story's gone right off the rails. It seems Bethlehem's a town in Wales!
