To round off the Christmas play I have sent you two of the remaining songs\u2026.\u201dSanta\u2019s Song\u201d and \u201cIn Me Christmas Stockin\u2019\u201d\u2026..we have reached the stage where after our main hero Jimmy who doesn\u2019t believe in Father Xmas wakes up on Xmas morning with no presents thus,to his mind,proving his point so he wanders round to his pals house to let him know he is right\u2026meeting the milkman and the postman on the way\u2026neither of whom can convince him he is wrong\u2026.he arrives at his mate\u2019s to find him with all his presents\u2026.his pal then takes him down the road where Santa is just about to take off for home\u2026.he recognises Jimmy and tells him \u201cif you don\u2019t believe \u2026you don\u2019t get\u201d\u2026.Jimmy apologises but Santa tells him it\u2019s too late\u2026he\u2019ll have to wait til next year\u2026Santa then sings his song explaining that it\u2019s not just a once a year job.(Santa was played by my mate Carl Chase who can be seen in films like \u201cThe Mummy\u201d and \u201cCut Throat Island\u201d)\u2026.Jimmy is shattered\u2026.then suddenly he finds himself in his bedroom\u2026.he had been dreaming after all\u2026AND he had a stack of presents\u2026.and his mum says she found a note on his pillow \u201cI decided to make one more stop\u201d\u2026so WAS it in fact a dream?....the play finishes with Jimmy singing \u201cIn Me Xmas Stockin\u2019\u201d\u2026..\n\nThe play was broadcast by Radio City on two consecutive Christmas\u2019s and was nominated for a Sony Award\u2026.it was taken up by many schools in the area which resulted in me writing two more follow ups.\n\n \n\n2.I watched a programme on Ken Dodd\u2026what an incredible man\u2026.to me he is the greatest entertainer the world has ever produced.\n\nConsidering his age he is still at the top of his game\u2026.his contribution to show business is mammoth\u2026.and yet the powers that be have never awarded him a knighthood which he thoroughly deserves\u2026maybe he is too funny (unlike the comedians of today) or maybe they are too busy awarding knighthoods to the likes of Jimmy Savile and Rolph Harris\u2026to me he will always be SIR Ken Dodd.\n\n\u2026.nowadays we have to put up with the likes of \u201cChattyman\u201d Alan Carr squawking away with his unfunny gay inuendo\n\n \n\n3.I read an article which made me smile\u2026.apparently Janette Tough who is Jimmy Krankie is to have a part in the \u201cAbsolutely Fabulous\u201d film with Joanna Lumley and co doing their bit\u2026Janette plays a Chinaman\u2026.but because her face is painted YELLOW\u2026GOD FORBID\u2026there have been screams of \u201cRACIST!\u201d\u201d\u2026.have you ever heard such absolute tripe\u2026this P.C. lot need to get over themselves before they destroy comedy once and for all\u2026it\u2019s pathetic\u2026it HUMOUR for heaven\u2019s sake\u2026..might as well cancel all pantos before some moron decides the dame is homophobic.\n\nJanette and Ian are friends of mine and they are a delightful couple who haven\u2019t got a racist bone in their bodies\u2026.time some of our population got real.\n\n \n\n4.On a similar subject\u2026when you see these wonderful school Christmas plays and nativities what you are seeing a is a collection of young human beings who see each other as equal\u2026there is no hatred no jealousy etc\u2026.the problem with the world today is the poison put into these innocent minds by parents who want to live through their kids.\n\nWe go on about how kids should be taught when in fact they could teach us a lesson or two\u2026.maybe one day the world will see this.\n\n \n\n5.We have had some very strange weather in this country lately\u2026.14 \u2013 16 degrees in DECEMBER\u2026.warmest since records began\u2026maybe I misheard our wonderful TV forecasters back in September when we were warned of temperatures of MINUS 30 degrees on their way\u2026pretty close eh?...how much are these \u201cexperts\u201d on again?....it\u2019s very strange when blossoms are appearing on trees and daffodils are sprouting\u2026.personally I prefer the standard winter with a bite in the air.\n\nHad a stroll around the Chester wall this week\u2026extremely quiet\u2026I thought the shops would be heaving\u2026not so\u2026very strange\u2026.but very nice.
