Thos Ribbits

Thos is a man of many parts. Sadly many of them are no longer available.

This might just be my epitaph in picture form!

@outonbluesix You got me at Pink Panther Bars...

@outonbluesix I had the pleasure of interviewing her once and she was simply lovely and very generous with her time. However, given what she is most famous for, I hope that she secretly voiced all the puppets she worked with in Boomerang.

@JHolmesEsq In fairness, many a politician asks to be judged on their record. This is a touch more literal.

@madbardmike Mike, I know great pianists such as yourself practice going up and down the scales but I don't think you're supposed to do it by standing the keyboards on their side.

@wake_oliver My mother (elderly) always uses that pronunciation so I can report its usage "in real life".

[Thos Ribbits @MusicalTalkThos]

@musichallsoc The last act to play the much missed Chiswick Empire, also in 1959.

@outonbluesix The pink panther strawberry chocolate bar is one of the few properly out-of-reach things from my youth - I simply cannot find anything that claims to be strawberry chocolate now that tastes like it - and my life is the poorer for that.

@agnes_guano Getting a lovely early Avengers vibe from this. I wonder if like Bond not being the only "Double O" agent, Mother has a number of Steedalikes, with their equally splendid Mrs Peels (et al) out in the field, and that in an untelevised series, Simon Cadell was one of them.

@musicaltalk It was consequently (I believe) the very first fringe festival and all later fringe festivals were named after it. So the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is a fringe festival that forms the fringe of the Edinburgh Festival - and so it is officially the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. QED.

[Thos Ribbits @MusicalTalkThos]

@musicaltalk Well, if you insist! The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is so called as it came about when shows that were not permitted to join the august (and in August) original Edinburgh Festival came along anyway and styled themselves as being on the fringe of the Edinburgh Festival.

@archivetvmus71 They all did very well.

@waltydunlop Nice to see his Androgum eyebrows a few years early...

[Thos Ribbits @MusicalTalkThos]

@outonbluesix And if you freeze frame, you can see the latter - the rare sight of a "cymbal mute".

[Thos Ribbits @MusicalTalkThos]

@outonbluesix I had the extraordinary pleasure of interviewing John Gieves-Watson of the Temperance Seven once; they play the interrupted band in the end sequence: John usually plays the big banjo but as that was not suitable for a brass band scene, they gave him the cymbals (with a dampener)

@StuartHumphryes Oh, the stylish imprecision of Victorian tailoring!

@mrstandler @DougalIrvine @rachelJgriff @TaniAzevedo_ @Finn_Anderson @MTheatreNetwork @JamesSHadley @thebenjamintill @lapworthalice *writer*singular, but you get my point!

[Thos Ribbits @MusicalTalkThos]

@mrstandler @DougalIrvine @rachelJgriff @TaniAzevedo_ @Finn_Anderson @MTheatreNetwork @JamesSHadley @thebenjamintill @lapworthalice Dougal is a top notch writers of musicals - and a lovely man too.

The song Time on My Hands always moves me somehow even when I'm only obliquely hearing it in the background as I do something else. I wonder what it's power is.
