Well ... eh ... hem ...(think, think), I dunno ... cor blimey
(blushing furiously as she steps up to the microphone) I don't have nuffink to say, can't fink of a fing. Cor, ya done struck me dumb ! ! !
But
(as she takes a deep breath, adjusts her Union Jack Wickers, polishes her imaginary new flourescent purple glasses and reaches out to accept the Miss Chatty Pants Award)
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all my very kind friends that have supported me through my timid and waivering first attempts at communicating with the many members to be found in the astonishing and amazingly creative Wonderland community that I have discovered since first taking my doubtful courage reluctantly in my hands and reaching out to join you in your might endeavours as you so bravely strive to make the world of Wonderland a much happier place to be ....HUUNNHHHHH (as she stops to drag a shudderingly massive great gasp of air into her sadly faltering lungs and begins searching rapidly through the many sheets of her "spontaneous" acceptance speech, she is forced to duck as a mightly tossed, soggy, dripping over-ripe purple plum is lofted with amazing accuracy directly at her exhausted body) From you amazing ladies (ducking to the left) and ...eh, gentlemen (feinting to the left) I have learned the art of (stepping back a couple of paces) friendship, love (being forced another six or seven steps back, all the time bending and weaving to miss the ever increasing hail of mushy plums, grapes, eggplants (aubergines), black rasperries and a veritable shower of small dark black currants) caring for ones fellow (again moving rapidly backwards) player (now turning around and running full pelt for the back of the stage not realizing that it is in fact, theatre-in-the-round as she disappears over the back, pages fluttering, shoes flying off, skirts tumbling over her ears, as she falls, still going on-an-on-an-on-an-on-an-on ..........................
As she fell, the last words to be heard softly and faintly echoing from the very depths of The Lost Wonderland Mine were: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
