Some highlights from the 1980 production of 'The Nativity' By year 3
- On being asked if there was any room at the inn, and with his only line to deliver in the play pending, Duncan Woodley lost his confidence with aplomb and micturated copiously on the stage.
One wag from the front row was heard to quip "Everybody to the Ark!"

- Neville Bennet forgot his lines and began ad-libbing. This was fine to begin with until his monologue started to talk about Aliens and the A Team. Teachers began to look at each other quizzically. When he mentioned Nudey-Prod-Games the curtain was abruptly bought down. Such was his 15 minutes of fame.

- Mary had just given birth to the baby Jesus when 'Fatty' Walker's Dad let off a low, rumbling bottom burp which rent the air in twain and left a primeval fug for 18 feet around him causing unsuspecting parents to cough and gag as they gulped down lungfuls of fetid air. Mary's moment was ruined as the wise men collapsed into hysterics.

- We were forced to sing a song in which the first line of each verse went "No Room Was There For Mary, Lullaby". Cannily the Juniors all substituted the word "Lullaby" for "Sausage Pie", which somehow took away the pathos.

There's a thin line...

between genius...and uber-insanity.

and you negotiate it expertly, like a tightrope walker dabbling on a mixture of acid and Omega 3.

I dearly miss Frankspencer...and you sir, are the closest I have experienced in my B3ta enslavement as the potential filler of his illustrious boots.

in other words...more of this please.

*clicks*
