..Andrea who was determined that things would be done right and proper.

...."Right you men with your legs shaved could you come over here and try your petticoats on, we need to make sure they fit proper, we don't want them falling down and reveling dangly bits now do we" said Andrea in a stern voice," Bramble & Ginger your in charge of the bar, no one must have an empty glass, so please anyone who has, go to the bar and get yourself a refill...Thank You for your undivided attention, back to what you lot do the best.....having fun".

Just then there was an almighty BANG in the cellar, Ollie, Wayne, Snadger went to investigate....Bobleponge came out covered in.............

[annacruachan]

Dust and smelling of cider. "There's a whole barrel of scrumpy down there," he shouted, wiping cobwebs off his face, which was a strange shade of red, "But I need some help to get it up."
"Oh, we can't help," shrieked the pantomime ladies, "We'll get our petticoats dirty!" Snadger gave a simpering smile and flashed his frills towards Bob, and Wayne stuck out a shapely shaved leg. "Andrea says we must behave!"
"Oh, men!" said Jeanie, "Come on girls - Rhona, Anna, Piskie, Binley, we'll get the scrumpy up here."
They marched down into the cellar and sounds of something heavy dragging across the floor were heard. Then, suddenly, there was an almighty shriek. Piskie's face appeared at the top of the steps, smudged with dust and covered in cobwebs. "Oh my God, there's a......." And she fainted.

[Nicos]

"...child still down there from last year- busily sewing silk bras for last years Panto- she mustn't have noticed the others had gone home months ago...quick......"

Pingu and the gang were merrily crowing away on the bar and occasionally nibbling at Snowdrops nuts, they had pulled quite a crowed. There were all manner of animals sat quietly listening to them crow, all the dogs, the pony had made its way into the bar out of the cold, Sid the goose was sat adoringly staring into pingus eyes and even the mice had crawled out of the wine.
The ladies of the W.I were helping Bobleponge clean himself up with lots of Tenna Ladys that had been found hidden in the toilet block.
"O, NO" shouted........

[Nicos]

...Bob- "don't be wearing those pink silky bras with the green satin frillies- it's a terrible clash- 'you don't want to be doing that- you want to be doing this'....he laughed placing the cups over his ears and doing a Biggles impression with his fingers over his eyes.
The little girl burst out laughing ...well it was either that or stick one on top of her head....which all the Vine guys in the Gardeners Rest had decided to do.....

[Pumpkin Becki]

...Just then, a loud rumble was heard outside. A flat bed lorry was driving past. Suddenly, Pingu made a bid for freedom!!! The lorry screetched to a halt and Pingu thought better of free ranging activities and returned to the bar.

Once feathers had been unruffled, Nicos, looking out at the road exclaimed 'Oh look, a big bundle of mistletoe!!'

[Nicos]

" Quick- where are the pompiers????"

[Jeanied]

Sadly, they were no-where to be seen, having taken an emergency call to a large fire in Ambridge which needed their certain je ne sais qui to put out the burning embers. Somewhat deflated the incumbents in the Gardeners Rest seated themselves around one of the grand old oak tables and discussed the way forward for the Pantomime. Taking stock, Sarz noted down that they had the following resources available at their disposal for this year's production.
The list included:
3 panto dames (Ollie, Wayne and Snadger - legs waxed in preparation for the fishnet tights)
A chorus of Littleuns led by Brengirl
2 Busty barmaids - Bramble and Ginger
A stage director - Nicos

" Script anyone???...or are we ad libbing again as usual this year" asked Nicos???

" I'm sure there were some scripts left around here from last year!"

OMG...I've just noticed....it's 25/11/09..tis one month to go till Xmas day!!!...Yey!!!!

"Jeaniad...will you please keep on top of these procedures???...I think there are some breathing masks in the back if things get too wild!!!"

[Jeanied]

OK - scriptwriting is Jeanied - but what Panto are we doing - she asked?
The preferences are ...

[binley100]

"ONE MONTH" shrieked Binley" Omg I'm not ready! I'venotmademycakeorwrittenmycardsandwhatdoIgetOHandthekids " By this time she was edging towards a full blown panic attack...

[Jeanied]

"So what panto are we doing then? "asked Jeanied... tapping her toe and licking the end of her pencil - ready to write on the huge scroll of manuscript parchment rolled up on the oak table - surreptitiously handing Binley a brown paper bag to hyperventilate into...
"How am I supposed to write a script if you won't tell me what we are going to be doing this year?"

[Nicos]

Well I still fancy the Nutcracker...but then again I've been dreaming of Rat's army of pompiers with their baguettes defending him!!!...still- so long as I can be Fluffy the Hedgehog - I'll be more than happy!

I wonder where our army of chooks could fit in????

[Nicos]

"Oooo...ooo...The Christmas Carol would be Brill "said Jeanied

" ..ah oui!!- superb !! "laughed Nicos...that certainly gets my vote...so who would be the Muppet frog??? ( I'm sure either Tony F /Scared or Bob would stand in for that???)...supported by the Pompiers naturally ( health and safety of course!!!!)
