Hello everybody!

I was going to ask if anybody would like to wish me luck in our drama club's new show this weekend (details in website - click www below), but then I realised that it's supposed to be bad luck. So, I guess I'd better "break a leg" then eh?. Hopefully not for real though, as I did that very badly a couple of years ago, which was no fun at all.

Do any of you really smart people out there know where this superstition originated and others like it in connection with the theatre ("the Scottish Play", for example)? Another superstition we always adhere to is never saying the very last line of any play until the performance nights, or at least the dress rehearsal. For years, I did not realise how a play ended until the performance nights, unless of course I had the last line myself. What's that all about?...

Cheers! I'd better go and get ready now. Dress rehearsal tonight!!! :arrow:

Hey, Gaspode!

I've just come back on-line and saw your comment about my very interesting and enjoyable hobby being 'sad'...

I would have come on earlier, but I've just been too busy. You see, unlike you, who seems to be on here ALL THE TIME, I do have a life!

Who's the sad one :?:

By the way, the show went very well and the audience loved it! Details on the website with a few photos...

Gaspode's not sad. He's happy :P
Everyone on here is, it's a lovely place with lots of warm hearts. Odd murder, but part from that.

And you want Gaspode to get a grip? Lighten up for goodness sake, it was a joke in the same style that Moyles would use. Would you say the same then?
