1 Day and counting......................

[Lumpy]

Don't have Panto's up here, can we have "The Singing Kettle" or something similar...................?

Give us a clue Burnie - whats The Singing Kettle?

And, more importantly can Rary, Cad, VC, You, LD or at a push me do it?

[veggiechicken]

We could manage that, Lumpy, especially the short and stout

[Cadalot]

VC Balders and I are more like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HANGOMiz2rg

Thats just great,BUT,i expect cake to be present,i will need to practice,as the tune is a little different from what i learned,are all together,or,sing in rounds 1 at a time,or in 2's,also nellie the elephant would be good,i got the music for that.

[Lumpy]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ good idea LD - my alternative words are..................

Lumpy the Elephant,
Packed her trunk and said goodbye to the growing,
Off she went with a clumpity clump,
Clump, bump......................grind

And, VC I think I'm a little short to be a teapot..............I'm nearly as wide as I am tall so is there a 'cube' song?

[Cadalot]

..I'm nearly as wide as I am tall so is there a 'cube' song?

Lumpy just for you and you could not sound worse than him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpv3TCAep9U

Each one is flat, Each one is flat ...... and so was his singing

From Wikipedia
The Singing Kettle were a Scottish folk music and entertainment group who performed traditional children's songs, along with live theatre performances. Originally from the village of Kingskettle in Fife, Scotland, they were formed by established folk singers Cilla Fisher and Artie Trezise, eventually being joined by musician Gary Coupland. In 2012, founding members Fisher and Trezise retired from performing with the group, and three years later in 2015 the group performed their last live shows.
The group were awarded a BAFTA for best children's TV programme and Fisher, Trezise and Coupland were made MBEs for their services to the entertainment industry.

Ta Burnie for trying to explain the x files moment of Scottish music.

Now, after much consideration I think that I should get some kind of Vine award for being - over several threads,

Not trusted to wield a stick
Short (self proclaimed)
Fat - ditto
Out of tune
Grower of failed veg
Childish
Panto horse fetishist
Exibitionist - ta Rary

please add to list what I've left out

It really does take skill to achieve all this and have a First Class Honours Degree.

[burnie]

I can do a turn as a folk singer, I can stand with one finger in my ear singing out of tune with a pint of Scrumpy in my spare hand............................................

[Nannysally99]

You have left out nutter Lumpy

Burnie I had the pleasure of hearing the Singing Kettles live, maybe I,should amend that, I had the pleasure of seeing them live, with all noise from the children I couldn't hear anything, but they were very entertaining, and the children loved them, and I reckon Lumpy would be ideal for the kettle using her trunk as a spout all she would need to do is crook her arm on her waist and there's the handle, magic she would be perfect

[Cadalot]

I think I have found the perfect Panto for this year, it's all this talk of kettles, Beauty and The Beast! I think we should start casting, I propose the following for a starter for 10

Beast:.................... Big Mallly would be ideal as the Beast
Belle:
Gaston:
LeFou:
Luminere
Mrs Potts:................Lumpy
Cogsworth
Featherduster
Cadeza:...................Cadalot
Madam Garderobe
Maurice

Lets get these cast then we can cast the supporting roles

[rary]

Cad have you filled in any more of your cast positions I volunteer to be a member of the audience and preferably not to near the front where I can hear you, and please no loud bangs etc. as more than likely I will be asleep

[burnie]

I'm having health probs on and off, so won't commit, but will hopefully be fit enough to heckle from the side lines...........................oh yes I will.
