I take it all back, Mr Grim

I take it all back, Mr Grim . . . you ARE a lad insane after all! Why do I keep on hanging around with you? Sigh . . . same time again tomorrow? *Per Ardua Ad Astra

appropriate....

"Per Ardua Ad Astra" ...."Through Hard Work to the Stars"

I know it's been "borrowed", but perhaps this could be the new A Lad Insane company motto Tim?

Certainly, from the things I have seen and the knowledge I have about this theatre group, the "kompani" is driven by Grim determination. (*boom tish*)

a grate service ?

- that would be somehow linked to chimney-sweeping I suppose? ;) Being the perverse bastard I am, when spoiled for choice of shows to see, I usually look to see which ones are the more heavily booked - and then give my patronage to those more needy of support. I take a similar approach when writing reviews. Of course, if someone else writes a review with which I disagree, I am likely to say so on the basis that, while it is "only one person's opinion", it is taken as representative of many similar views, as I think D. Advocate recently suggested. Chookas to all those great shows on currently, especially the ones I am not going to get to see! Ssstinger>>>

Grate service

I am sure that Stirling would agree that I provide a 'grate' service.

Sorry to be pedantic John, but you had a spelling mistake on the fifth line.

Looking forward to your next production, I believe the that whole script is in my native Gaelic.

Gaelic

Aye it's in Gaelic all reet. Gaelic with a tinge of aussiecockneylosangeledosmancuniandublincardiff..and... do that line again Elsie...oh yeah! and Liverpool! A laddie in sane
