I laughed, I cried, I loved, then realized I was in the wrong theater. Still, Rochelle, Rochelle; a young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk was an excellent show even though the Stalin character was a little light in the valenkis if you know what I mean.
I've just been informed that I was in the correct theater after all, and what I thought was Belarusan version of Rochelle, Rochelle, was actually The Battle of Evesham performed in Scouse. While I must confess that I didn't understand a single spoken word, there was certainly a lot of acting and sword waving going on. I don't think I would be amiss in pointing out that sword waving and emotive content and tavern wenches are the heart of all good theater. I suggest you introduce more tavern wenches to complement the acting and sword waving. Bravo sir!
It's about a 20 min drive from home to the Ferry (used to live in Evesham now Stratford way) so you'll need to give me a bit of warning if I'm going to haul anyone across the river.
Thats his son mate...your the dad...the other Earl....You will be hanging back I'm afraid...Trying to rally the Welsh...and as we all know the Viet Taffs don't like rallying...
He had a heffalump: http://theparkerlibrary.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/matthew-paris-and-the-elephant-at-the-tower/ Negative waves. :hypnotize:
I want to be Pope....How keen of you to know I have a sharp eye. Rain Man like, I'll always tell you what I see. Others may try to deceive you- but not me.
The way it was meant to be....The big money version of the coming epic.... http://youtu.be/Jezuw4pTpaw
Otto....sorry Henry the third rallies the troops.... Slipdigit sings Dixie somewhere in this....And Skipper buys a new suit. http://youtu.be/E9X6dxQ3nIk
But enough of this...Gird your loins me boys... Put away your toys... Battle calls... And men now asleep in England... Tread gently in these fields...for these fields are making history...Biak, leave Cac's horse alone... And now.....Its war.. The Battle of Evesham...in two parts....Well Skipper has 6 parts to part with shortly.... http://youtu.be/4h_zlSbhYis
Hmm. A Roving Minstrel. Does that mean I just sing and tell the tale, without doing any of that nasty fighting? If so, I'll take it and watch from the sidelines and compose my lyrics while the rest of you re-enact the battle. Go to it, boys (and girls)! Oh, a roving minstrel I...
I, for one, am happy to have a minor role as a ploughman. Of course, being on the south side of a horse that's heading north does have its drawbacks. I played a roving minstrel in a musical when I was in 9th grade. It's not so bad, Lou. You'll be popular with the ladies -- not that you aren't already.
The ploughman...owns GreenHill...the battlefield...What makes you think he's minor? Have you ever tried ploughing a field when 500 knights are charging uphill?
Lou...Henry..Otto the third...killed his first minstrel in public at court....For being sarcastic in a song...Maybe though the second minstrel will be luckier....yeah...right...this is a ww2 forum battle... Battle starts Sunday...Ends Monday...There will be tears...
