Panto and Curry 19 December

The Panto

Six Ooters thoroughly enjoyed Oran Mor’s ‘A Play, a Pie and a Pint’ Pantomime ‘The Lying Bitch and the Wardrobe’. Stalwart Dave Anderson was incapacitated so Billy McBain stood in at short notice and his relative unfamiliarity with the role of the Dame added to the hilarity, right from the very first minute when he tripped making his entrance on to the stage and landed flat on his face losing his hat and wig. As they say, ‘You couldnae write the script’. Brilliant!
We then got back to the Jewel in the Crown in Kilmarnock, via Wetherspoon’s, for our Christmas curry.

The Jewel in the Crown had prepared well for us and were most hospitable. The food was excellent and the banter lively, just as well we had the place to ourselves. As well as the customary rendition of the Ooters’ song Derval Davie treated us to his own song, now apparently on the Jewel’s Facebook page. Please note that the rest of the Ooters claim no responsibility.

Thanks to the ladies who served us for their forbearance and good humour. Well done, girls!
On leaving there, we made our way to Wetherspoon’s, but it was so busy we could not get accommodated.
Some decided to go home at this point but eight (the Killie four, Allan, Dougie, Johnny and Rex) went round to The First Edition, a clone of Wetherspoon’s but with umpteen screens all showing football, where we were comfortably seated. A nice end to what had been a great day.
