My father worked in panto in the 1950s. I went to many of his shows and met several celebs of the day.
I remember once when my mother was indisposed he took me to the Palladium and billeted me backstage where the Tiller Girls adopted me for the day and bounced me from one to another on their laps. That could account for quite a lot.
He was usually an Ugly Sister, or a Troubador.
I often fancy going to see a panto but the possible outcome of going door-to-door around my neighbourhood asking to borrow a couple of young children for the evening has so far dissuaded me.
had to look them up…

Tonight's the night guys.
This is open to all 200+ (or is it 400+) members of the forum. Just a chance to shoot the breeze, consume the remaining mince pies and generally meet those around the globe (and British Isle) virtually in a friendly way. We have some core members - for those not attended before - just PM Alec for details of how to attend.

I may pop along later.

I was hoping to drop in and wish everyone all the best for 2024, but I’m really suffering this week so unlikely to pop in.
But…
Wishing everyone all the best! x
It's just a matter of time...
Thanks Scott; get well soon.
I will pass on your message.
I know it’s been a while since I joined a vGTG, but it was very nice to be back!
Although I was a bit disappointed by the lack of sartorially elegant neck wear.
Typical - I go to the pantomime and you appear (behind me).
Hope you are keeping well mate?

All ok here mate! Just busy with a new(ish) job and sports club stuff. Hope you are ok buddy.
Sorry couldn’t join, it would have been the middle of the night for me.
Hope to dial into one in 2024.
Enjoyed it, after struggling to get the sound to work on Zoom with my new tablet, a source of hilarity as I made several attempts to join.
Consensus is to continue in the current format, would be nice to get a few more faces joining in on a regular basis. Use it or lose it folks.
The Ai generated summary was both amusing and sinister, like someone trying to report on an overheard conversation discussing an overheard conversation. A function that definitely needs to be turned off!
The AI summary can be PMd to anyone who would like to know what goes on at these meetings (maybe)
AI-generated content may be inaccurate or misleading. Always check for accuracy

Martyn what AD block did you mention last night, this sites unusable on iPad?
The AP store seems to have too many, any recommendations?
I use Adblock Plus Steve, but I'm on Android.
Fixed that for you Alec
Adblock Plus - it’s a red symbol with ABP inside - this is a link to App Store. It’s an extension to safari browser - I use on iPhone and iMac - you set it up in “safari “

Cheers Martyn, no more pop ups in bottom left of screen
Best keep it to ourselves….drunken ramblings never read well, even AI versions!
Agreed, what goes on VTG stays on VTG!
It looms.
Old lags will soon receive "the invite" which this time has details of the Zoom licence status.
Any vGtG virgins out there wishing to join in with the fun and frolics- PM me and I will send the joining details.
This month's subjects will include the licence funding details, a debate abouth whether "last Thursday of each month" is the most suitable arrangement, and your genial host will render a reading of an apposite poem from "the heaven-taught ploughman".
Plus - let's see the Christmas Present watches chaps.
This coming Thursday @8pmish.
Haggis and whisky at the ready, tatties and neeps still to buy, other than that a quiet night of contemplation at chez 2.
