How amazing! Maybe one of us composes the crossword!

Rosalind

Thanks - I felt I couldn't escape from the stuff, even in a crossword!

It happens so often that it can't be a co-incidence. One of the setters did make occasional humourous contributions to this thread. We have not heard from him for some time though.

A word from yesterday - straightforward - was originally in my M&S story, so I changed it.

Jigjag, Miss Marple, Hercule…

I think you're right - our every move, our every post on this site, is being monitored - and acted upon. First it was the It, sex clues following us around, then I got a batch of cricket clues … now we're being force-fed vegetables.

Re your 'straightforward', thanks for your speedy tactic. One can't be too careful these days.

Just a quick note, I've a long 'to do' list today. Any tips on decent pantos? I want to buy some tickets today, but choosing is difficult...

Jigjag And The Beanstalk

Grungerella

Tyke Whittington

Ros In Boots …

How do I choose?

I was always a bit too big for my boots (OH NO I'M NOT) ; might be amusing.

Gungerella sounds like an interesting turnaround.

Am about to make the dough for the annual Gingerbread House. At the end I may resemble Gingerella, the before version.

Yes, I am playing Grungerella at the Wigan Pier Playhouse. How did you know? I was trying to keep it quiet. I wear my usual Grunge, and the role as a kitchen drudge certainly suits me. I can get you complementary tickets for tonight if you can make it.

I heard that Jigjag was offered a "straight" role in Puss in Boots after his "straightness" was questioned the other day.

I was offered the part of the cow in that panto but turned it down, hoping for something better, which did not happen.

My to-do list is rather short. Another trip to M&S to buy jeans, and if there is time, to buy slippers for my brother-in-law. What can go wrong?

I was once asked to make cow and donkey costumes for the Nativity Play at the local primary school. In order to liven things up a bit, I gave the cow an udder with a zip and put in a tin of evap.
The only person I told this too was the boy who had been allocated the job of the cow's back end, who I knew to be one of the naughtier ones.
