I have been approached by an unnamed financial backer to ask GN's whether they would be willing to take part in an updated film version of Cleopatra. This would of course mean numerous roles to be filled including Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton as well as the ass for milk, pyramid for background etc. The role of the asp and camel has already been filled by that well known star of stage and screen who is currently staring in Born Free, you will of course remember him as Toto and Lassie. I shall not tell you his name as you will undoubtedly forget it.
Auditions will take place soon - those who are interested please advise asap.

Aaah, I see..............or do I? I think I have just posted something terminal on another thread, anyone got a flack jacket and a tin helmet?

2 paracetamol and a large Sauvignonblanc, waiter, if you please? (I'm not allowed Scotch & soda at the moment)

Mr Phoenix, if you could run me a bath, shave my legs and anoint me with moisturiser once you have toweled me dry, assuming that the walk-in body drier is currently under construction?

Thank you soooo much!

Now, once that's all in place what the fc is going on? We seem to have diverted from the OP of ET & RB !

Ladies (and gentlechaps) please bear in mind that other people chancing upon this site, were they to see such unconnected -ramblings- posts, might think that it just gives credence to the theory that once one is past a certain age, one is either gaga, senile or that even worse thing......... "a dear sweet old lady" (cue shark music from Jaws"............................

MY BRAIN HURTS

glassortwo Fri 11-May-12 22:29:47

when I cant hold that banner up any longer... I need to go to bed.... get yourself over on that other thread and hold your own banner up my arms are snapping....

whenim64 Fri 11-May-12 22:21:49

Aha! I have the proof - my faithful dog has returned with a blowtorch, handcuffs, half a stilt, a packet of cheese and onion crisps, two tickets for Les Miserables, a pair of men's socks and a half-chewed lamb bone.

What d'ya make of THAT, then????

Retires for the night, wearing a smug look and carrying a cup of horlicks grin

nelliedeane Fri 11-May-12 22:21:28

Actually thought what relevance to cleopatra when I was writing confused,but did you or did you not ask me to explain and I quote "Nellie would you care to elaborate"...so I did grin.....but I did ask why the theatre was in darkness and where had all the old thespians gone hmm

Anagram Fri 11-May-12 22:21:15

Of whom? confused

Anne58 Fri 11-May-12 22:20:04

"And that, M'Lud, appears to be the case for the defence............"

Anagram Fri 11-May-12 22:19:13

I'd give up, if I were you, phoenix! They're all in denial...(especially when)

nelliedeane Fri 11-May-12 22:14:37

I think an identity parade is in order and see if Rover picks the guilty party ,methinks that when is pulling a fast one feigning sickness and demanding medication and playing for the symapthy vote...the plot thickens

Anne58 Fri 11-May-12 22:10:01

And the relevance to the topic in the opening post is.......................?

Nellie (in the style of mastermind) you have 2 minutes on your specialist subject of deviating from the original subject, starting now.........

Anagram Fri 11-May-12 22:07:30

Not really, nellie - she's already here and blatantly flaunting herself, proclaiming her innocence!

nelliedeane Fri 11-May-12 22:05:03

ha ha so you think I have gone to bed...I went downstairs to watch Dennis waterman on piers morgan..hasnt he aged Dennis not piers....talking of detectives perhaps we need a private investigator to track the dastardly when[hmmm]

Anne58 Fri 11-May-12 22:03:12

Matron, it's urgent!

(Although I have a feeling that it may be too late..............)

whenim64 Fri 11-May-12 21:59:39

Can I have my medicine now, sister? I'm really tired............

whenim64 Fri 11-May-12 21:58:22

Of course it was my blowtorch - I complained it was missing. If you find my handcuffs, my betting is the blowtorch will be there as well. I have my suspicions..........

I have to do my own sleuthing as I cannot trust the fuzz investigators - I think they are in on it. hmm

My basset hound has her Sherlock Holmes pipe and hat on and is busily following the trail for me - she will report back at Bonio time grin

Anne58 Fri 11-May-12 21:55:03

MATRON!

Anagram Fri 11-May-12 21:49:23

when, you may think you've got away with it, but forensic reports are being prepared comparing the scorchmarks on Duncan's bum with your blowtorch! It's only a matter of time....(Official Investigator Hat On)

whenim64 Fri 11-May-12 21:38:29

Tee hee....little does she know grin

nelliedeane Fri 11-May-12 21:35:50

Oxon are we to believe that you are proclaiming whens innocence over said attack on rovers bum.....notice when is very quiet...nothing to say for herself......

whenim64 Fri 11-May-12 21:35:23

Thanks for the vote of confidence Oxon. I was framed! I left a false trail in South America and came back to threaten persuade my witnesses to tell the truth. The cowardy custards have all gone to bed, but they will have to face me tomorrow!

Free the Gransnet One!! She is innocent!! grin

Just going to do some thumb practise - I will be condemning some witnesses gladiators and lions to their fate in the production and have to get into my role grin

Oxon70 Fri 11-May-12 21:28:40

We have our exits and our entrances....and this theatre is bloody dark, who put the lights off?

It's an exit for me just now...oh yeah there's the sign...bye folks

Clatter, bang - sorry dropped my gladius down the stairs...whoops...oooh!

Oxon70 Fri 11-May-12 21:13:33

I think that report wasn't true.....

If she's back she must be innocent - she wouldn't dare otherwise. So there.
