How strange this topic has come up, having just got in from a late presentation at school this is number one.
At rather short notice due to illness this afternoon Iv'e got roped into such a thing and tomorrow morning I will be playing the Dame in Ali Baba in Rhym.

in the staff panto.
My wig looks like Rod Stewart gone wrong and the get up I have to wear is unbelievable, I'll have to get up at 05-00hrs to start learning my lines............I must be mad.
The only thing thats keeping me going is if I didn't it would have been cancelled, so I'm playing to 800 students and staff. the knees are going already.
