    I failed my audition at the RSC for Romeo as I misunderstood a simple stage direction. My copy of the script clearly said: 'Enter Juliet from the rear'.


    Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

        There was a camp comedian called Max Miller (Cheeky Chappie) who back in the 30s or 40s (?) quipped, when he was crossing a bridge, a woman came towards him. He said he didn't know whether to "toss himself off or block her passage". It apparently caused a real uproar in its time.

            That was Max Wall on TV in the 50s.
