Pantomime

Anyone been to the Panto this year.

Went and saw Cinderella with the Krankies in it last night. Good production if a little short timewise.  Good entertainment for all the family and despite their age the Krankies are a thing to behold.  Xmas would not be Xmas without them.

Hadn't been to the Panto for about 35 years but my daughter is in Cinderella at the Pavilion this year so had to go. I actually quite enjoyed it. Now I am older it's great to see the reactions of the kids to all the slapstick comedy.

We went to beauty and the beast in Edinburgh, not as good as the last couple of years but an absolute cracker of a joke about being called a rose bush, because she’s not good in a bed but cracking against a wall. My 6 year old was howling with laughter at, but then turned to me and said why is that funny [emoji23]

I’m at Kinky Boots in Edinburgh tonight.

Seen the West End show which was fucking amazing but this production is almost panto like.

Aye, Kinky Boots in London was a stunning production, miles better than that overhyped Hamilton nonsense.

The feckers still tell the same jokes that were on Crackerjack though.

My favourite being

Been at 2.

Cinderella at Falkirk Town Hall, week before last,  was really good.

Snow White at London Palladium a couple of days ago, which was amazing, though some of Julian Clary's lines were a bit much for the family audience!

Was taken to a show, maybe a pantomime, and Chuck Berry came on to sing My Ding a Ling. My Dad, a church elder, was about the only person in the audience over 12 not to get the meaning to the lyrics, and stood up singing loudly to the subtitles for the singalong. I was a beetroot faced 13 year old.

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Hmm, and then mama took me to grammar school
But I stopped off in the vestibule
Every time that bell would ring
Catch me playing with my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
Oh, that is beautiful
You know what I heard, I heard
I heard two girls over here singing in harmony, that's all right, honey
This is a free country, live like you wanna live, baby!
Yeah, ain't nobody gonna knock it, doll, mm-mm
Yeah, freedom
Yes sir, there's one guy right over here singin' "mine" too, that's all right, brother!
Yes sir, you got a right, baby, ain't nobody gonna bother you, tell you
Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard I heard bells ring
But held on to my ding-a-ling-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
Hmm, you know that's future parliament out there singin'?
Oh yeah! (yeah!)
Hmm, once I was swimming 'cross turtle creek
Man, them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimming 'cross that thing
With both hands holding my ding-a-ling
Oh, my ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
That's so beautiful
I think it's a beautiful little song, really I do
And guess what, everybody's still not singing
There's a few right down front here that's not singing
We're gonna dedicate this verse to those who will not sing, yes sir
Hmm, this here song it ain't so sad
The cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing
You must be playing with your own ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
Oh, your own, ding-a-ling, your own ding-a-ling, we saw you playing with your ding-a-ling
Oh, my ding-a-ling, everybody sing, I want to play with my, everybody
My ding-a-ling, oh, my, ding-a-ling
Slow down, I want to play, everybody, with my ding-a-ling!

Chuck Berry was right up there with Savile, Harris, and Glitter in the OFTW leagues.

His house got raided in a drugs bust and the police found several tapes of home recordings made (without knowledge of his accomplices) of him pissing on hookers, as well as hidden camera footage from his bathroom of ladies going pee pee and poo poo.

He liked to piss on the ladies as well as watch them curl off a length of dirty spine.

I quit like Julian Clary. His classic line on TV, when Lamont was Chancellor of the Exchequer: "I've just been fisting Normal Lamont. Now that's what I call a red box!

Couldnae believe it when he came out with that one.
