PeckhamRose(fromthedead) writes: So just to push you a little on this (and having read about shamans and shamanist practices and beliefs), may I ask - when you say you investigate all other answers first, are you a scientist by trade capable of doing so? Before science as we know it, your equivalent would have tried to explain thunder and rainbows but not got far, and so invented gods. You said you see ghosts move objects. Why do they bother to move objects? Are the objects in their way? Why don't they do something useful like prove themselves once and for all? If they move objects they can do useful stuff for the rest of us living folk. Just asking, like. ;)

Now that's interesting. I had never heard of it so googled it and this here very site what we're reading and writing upon now came up so not a lot is written about it. I think I know what you mean about it though. It's really kind of you to think about it. I'll think about it, too! Anyone else? Are ya bored yet? !

Birthmarks are not hereditary, sadly. Sixth fingers are a chromosone issue not necessarily hereditary at all. But the ideas in this forum have given me some great ideas and I am so grateful! Doing some research in to some of them now. It has to be believable and not convoluted, and simple. You lot are bringing tears to me eyes with your thoughts and ideas! I wondered if I was mad posting a topic in here this afternoon!

A bit vague for a positive identification really. But thanks so much for offering the idea.

Well we simulated a caning and a flogging. No wait, that was real. As was my mate's kid's real sixth finger.... it ain't a historical play and this is about real every day regular folk!

OK what's Donkey Alley? Or where, I mean.

How does that work?

What was he buying by the way? Condoms?

OH MY GOD I am SO DEPRESSED NOW This is PROOF there is such a thing as FALSE MEMORY SYNDROME. My mother told me about this when SHE was a little girl but made out it was MY memory. I can NOT be old enough to remember this first hand. East Dulwich Angst have you nothing better to do than search YouTube for such things? Go to the Plot point topic, go straight to the Plotpoint topic, do not pass GO and do not collect two hundred pounds. Your input would be gratefully received and put to better use there.... ;)

Oh khewwwwll A tattoo. Woof! (Bit unlikely for the son character to do that but like the way you're thinking!) You lot are great and I am so moved you're thinking about this!!!! So far I am researching the sixth finger scar idea (my mate's kid had a 6th finger removed so will talk with her later) combined with father walks with a stick (like HughLaurie HOUSE) and son has accident so temp walks with a stick too.

Now this is interesting because my mate said that idea. BUT I thought it would be too farfetched. But now someone else (you) has suggested it, I need to research the unlikelyhood of it, as it were. THANKSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

You think there isn't? > perhaps a high class brothel in LL or thereabouts > would be a good business proposition. As for churches and betting shops being bedfellows, of course they are! Everyone's betting on something, or trying to insure against something which is the same as betting. The stock market is basically gambling isn't it.

Nice idea Snoopy and of course you WOULD think in canine plotlines. Tough to have dogs on stage or even refer to them offstage. Complicated. REALLY grateful you spent time to think about it though !!

Is Keef God though?

LostThePlot you are misnamed. FixThePlot should be you. Yupyup. Nice idea. Might work. But then have to set up a backstory reason for son to suddenly walk with a stick but I see where you're limping from and --- can you hear that? --- cogs ticking in me brain. Thanks thanks thanks xx

Holy christ put this in the religion topic. I would have died and gone to Led Heaven. Is it just me but does he look more oriental as he gets older and greyer? One of the actresses in the play with me works as a hostess in the VIP lounge at O2. I mean, can you imagine? No, seriously.

hhahahaahahahaahahahahahhahahahaahahah a Yeah Whut he said.

Charlie - the leaving of a hankie or something like that is tempting also. I shall consider weaving that into the idea. Thanks. Anyone else?

When I saw the title of this I assumed someone was asking why the whole of Woolwich Town Centre was being turned into a betting shop, then I thought that's daft and then thought maybe that they're thinking Woolwich Buiding Society is a betting shop which, if you think about it, is about right. People betting on the price of their houses/mortgages rising is a safer bet than on a horse winning or losing. Now I read the actual contents and I think, if they're opening a betting shop it's because they think there are enough people willing to make it work. Market forces and all that. I'm with Louisa on that issue. If no-one goes it will fail. Give the people what you persuade them they want, and all that. (Talking of which wasn't Extras BRILLIANT last night.) Now, do we need another Wetherspoons in the region?

You classy so and so.

Well I think it was Sarah and Hoppity. Dunno tho.

Does anyone have a copy of this - either the playscript and / or the video or DVD which I think was made with either Judi Dench or Charlotte Rampling in the lead? Can collect at weekend.

Sarah Brown has a toy as naughty can be and it starts to sing when you wind up its key It sings and it plays all over the floor and when it stands still then you wind it some more Dear old hoppity, naughty hoppity etc Anyone?

I Did Not Know That. PeckhamRyePark is their singles club* though. So maybe get one before it meets its mate. Ahhahahaahahaha * and to confuse this with the other topic, clubs is better!

Should not the above be a reply to the goose for New Year posting, PeckhamGateCrasher? But yes, clubbing them is better than shooting. The shots will have Trident down on you before you can say GasMark5 for 90 mins.
