..ask and you shall receive...
You all been planning a nativity play without ole foggy huh? It is doomed to failure. My turn as the inn keeper in the Hungerford School nativity 1968 is still talked about in hushed tones.
Joseph "Is there any room at the inn?"
Me "Course there is mate, come on in"
To me it showed the genius of improvisation, to everyone else it fucked the whole thing up. Opinion, as they say, was divided.
If you are not far sighted enough to embrace my maverick thesp approach to the greatest story ever told I am quite happy to help out backstage with a bit of sheep worrying or virgin testing.
At your service. Let's do it.
Hmmm... I can remember my starring role as a king at St Mary's RC... where I brought the baby Jesus 'Murder' (instead of Myrrh)... my mate (Kenny O'Rourke) brought him 'Frankenstein'.
We had a dust up with the shepherds behind the stable because one of them knocked my crown off with his crook and the angel Gabriel peed her knickers...
Mrs Dooley actually cried with joy...
I was the donkey the year after
Can I be the Centurion in Life of Brian...?
CENTURION: What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes
they go the house'?
BRIAN: It-- it says, 'Romans, go home'.
CENTURION: No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Roman'? Come on!
BRIAN: Aah!
CENTURION: Come on!
BRIAN: 'R-- Romanus'?
CENTURION: Goes like...?

CENTURION: Vocative plural of 'annus' is...?
BRIAN: Eh. 'Anni'?
CENTURION: 'Romani'. 'Eunt'? What is 'eunt'?
BRIAN: 'Go'. Let--
CENTURION: Conjugate the verb 'to go'.
BRIAN: Uh. 'Ire'. Uh, 'eo'. 'Is'. 'It'. 'Imus'. 'Itis'. 'Eunt'.
CENTURION: So 'eunt' is...?
BRIAN: Ah, huh, third person plural, uh, present indicative. Uh, 'they go'.
CENTURION: But 'Romans, go home' is an order, so you must use the...?
BRIAN: The... imperative!
CENTURION: Which is...?
BRIAN: Umm! Oh. Oh. Um, 'i'. 'I'!
CENTURION: How many Romans?
BRIAN: Ah! 'I'-- Plural. Plural. 'Ite'. 'Ite'.
CENTURION: 'Ite'.
BRIAN: Ah. Eh.
CENTURION: 'Domus'?
BRIAN: Eh.
CENTURION: Nominative?
BRIAN: Oh.
CENTURION: 'Go home'? This is motion towards. Isn't it, boy?
BRIAN: Ah. Ah, dative, sir! Ahh! No, not dative! Not the dative, sir!
No! Ah! Oh, the... accusative! Accusative! Ah! 'Domum', sir! 'Ad
domum'! Ah! Oooh! Ah!
CENTURION: Except that 'domus' takes the...?
BRIAN: The locative, sir!
CENTURION: Which is...?!
BRIAN: 'Domum'.
CENTURION: 'Domum'.
BRIAN: Aaah! Ah.
CENTURION: 'Um'. Understand?
BRIAN: Yes, sir.
CENTURION: Now, write it out a hundred times.
BRIAN: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir.
CENTURION: Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls
off.

Time to dig out the RW Nativity play thread....who wants to play what this year.......
Oh and we still can't find a virgin to play Mary.
