Les Bas Bleus, The Bluestocking...

[ErrolTheDragon]

En franglais, in English .... open to all women for company, fun and fabulous artworks. Leave unwanted reality in the porch and come along in.

Another cabaret gerbil

How well would this read if 'women' was substituted for 'gerbils' throughout? Are gerbils semi-sentient support creatures that exist purely for our convenience and delight?

Did you know that one also does theatre work?

Their portrayal of Hamlet was sublime!

It's a Ralph McTell reference - he was on the radio this morning and I'm still a bit wobbly.

I don't think I could bear to see the gerbil ophelia...fortunately I've not seen any evidence of the AIs having been trained on the pre-Raphaelites.

The penny has just dropped. Our gerbils are all actors and theatre folk in-between jobs, aren't they?

Although I did prefer their portrayal of Malvolio

Are gerbils semi-sentient support creatures that exist purely for our convenience and delight?

At the Bluestocking, yes.

Magnificent cross-gartering there!

This is where I admit I once went to a Ralph McTell concert and it was bloody brilliant (and I met him afterwards)

Gerbils are creative and enterprising sentient creatures but like all artists they have to tailor their output to their audience.

We don't want them forming Trades Unions and demanding grant support, do we? Do We?

They get paid in ...well, whatever it is that gerbils would want to be paid in.

Where do you think they are when your food is taking too long to arrive?

I think you'll be all right. This is what it conjured up when asked for a Pre-Raphaelite gerbil!

Erm... According to mine gerbils were long haired then!

Very soulful but looking as though they've picked up some long-haired cat genes somewhere along the way.

I Iove Ralph McTell. I want to lots of his concerts as a student and had all his albums. Oh happy days.

Now, do gerbils perform G&S ( I can imagine them in Iolanthe) ?

Or a gerbil.orchestra?

I note we're nearly but not quite ready to need new premises. I'm about to disappear off to watch episodes 3&4 of season 3 of Slow Horses. I don't think I can follow that and this at the same time...So please keep an eye on the post count and someone move us on.

They look a bit like fancy Guinea pigs

Now, do gerbils perform G&S ( I can imagine them in Iolanthe) ?

Their favourite is the Pie Rats of Penzance.

Their performance of HMS Pinafore was stunning!

Who knew there was so many Ralph McTell fans on here!!!

I too went to concerts of his, back when I was a mere child! Me and my friend Sheila went to see him a couple of times when we did our o and a levels.
ETA I mean Ralph McTell.

My favourite album of his is "Not til tomorrow ". Oh when I was young....

Ralph is playing sort of locally soon, but it's all sold out. Boo hoo.

Love the operetta gerbils.
