Panto Season
Yesterday was a long day. I completed my counselling lecture on line from work before doing a night shift. I know the zoom protocol usually means that you need to check your background for incriminating articles, roving pets or underwear hanging on radiators .
One of my colleagues private messaged me it’s He’s Behind You ! message as we started
Flis's comment had me snorting into my coffee (Ah, the imagination runs riot....) I think you should at least introduce us, John, and tell us his name!
It's so sad that some hospice patients can lose so much weight that they start to look like skeletons. What was that fellow after - a subscription to Slimming World?
Cats don't count. During Covid shutdown saw account of teacher apologizing for cat intrusion -- all of her students then reached off-camera to pull in a cat lurking nearby.
Dictionary definition: Pantomime (aka panto) - a theatrical entertainment, mainly for children, which involves music, topical jokes, and slapstick comedy and is based on a fairy tale or nursery story, usually produced around Christmas. The villain's appearance is accompanied by the shout from the audience, "He's behind you!" xx
Thanks HH MY “behind you “ comment was directly from pantomimes where the audience gleefully shouts out to the hero that the baddie is lurking behind him
Lol. And he is naked!

This last weekend I spotted a car with a skeleton in the back seat. It was clothed and wore a seat belt. His late Mother-in-Law maybe?
ReplyDeleteI once went to the butchers with a Turkey in the passenger seat
DeleteHe just wanted to join in!
ReplyDeleteQuietly
DeleteI've heard of skeleton staff, but that's taking it a bit far! xx
ReplyDeleteBoom boom
DeletePerhaps you could invite a young man to pop into your background John through the door - scantily clad wearing mask and gloves x
ReplyDeleteGawd flis , your mind
DeleteFlis's comment had me snorting into my coffee (Ah, the imagination runs riot....) I think you should at least introduce us, John, and tell us his name!

ReplyDeleteBefore our lecture, the guest lecturer pointedly said passing cats allowed
DeleteApparently the poor guy should have been wearing a N95 mask and the mask he/she's wearing isn't covering their nose:)
ReplyDeleteHe’s let himself go
DeleteCan see half the country soon looking like this given the current cost of existing crisis and food shortages. Pollie
ReplyDeleteYes…..it feels a bit bleak when you think about it
DeleteWhat does "panto season" mean?

Thanks for the morning chuckle and well done on completing your course!
ReplyDeleteI imagine your salker doesn't eat much.
Hugs!
I’ve had worse stalkers
DeleteOn camera and live it would be a bit difficult - but otherwise you can always distract a visitor with the offer of a biscuit x 🍪
ReplyDeleteChris liked the skinny guy at the gym. In fact he couldn't get enough of him.
ReplyDeleteWhat does that comment mean
DeleteIf the above comment was out to hurt rather than amuse , you’ve succeeded in your objective
DeleteSilence ..go figure
