Glugs of Gosh

Post by Neville Briggs » Thu Apr 07, 2011 9:02 am

I see in the Newcastle paper that there is a lady who has adapted C.J.Dennis's Glugs of Gosh into a play. This play is on at Cessnock and Woy Woy during May. If anybody is hinterested, I can give you the details.

Oh Neville. I wish I wish I could go. I had the great experience of watching John Derum perform this masterpiece at The Palmarosa. (Ray Essery was sat beside me, & after a while spent scratching his chin, he whispered to me...'What the bloody hell is this all about?) te he

BTW...I just shot a quote off to the Harrington mob to conduct a workshop for them....so maybe we'll catch up again before we cark it??

I'm with Ray. I have another booking then, sandpapering the bum of a crocodile in a phone booth. Tossed up between which one might be the most fun.

G'day,

I have read and own an illustrated copy of 'Glugs'. Political satire is not really my thing, however, I can recognise brilliant writing when I read it (mostly). I'm with Glenny, I wish I could see this play.

Reminds me a bit of our politicians really, selling off our Uraium then panicing when a neclear reactor blows up. Also selling off our Uranium then trying to stop other nations developing Nuclear weapons.

Pearls at the feet of swine....sob sob....

Hey Zondrae,
I've got a bonza idea. How about we build a thing that potentially could destroy the planet, place the responsibilty for its safety in the hands of a private company driven by profit making, & put it on the beach where tsunamis have historically hit.... & just to really pop the cherry on the cake.....lets make sure it's built in a notorious earthquake zone.

APART FROM ALL OF MY OTHER MENTAL DEFICIENCIES.... IF THAT DOESN'T GET ME ELECTED INTO A RULING GOVERNMENT I'LL GO HOPPING TO HELL.

Geeeez Louise!

...because the cake shop sheila was pre-occupied with a bloke outside in a telephone box sandpapering a crocodile's bum!
