TomAttwood Sheriff: I'm today's "supply sheriff". I'm just as bad, just less beardy #twitpanto 16:02:40 ewan Guy of Glasgow; if we cut either of those, I predict a riot #twitpanto <warns Alan-a-dale to NOT sing> 16:04:21 citizensheep John: What about if we come at this from another angle, a lot of the people we’ve cut off have relocated to the forest. #twitpanto 16:05:10 citizensheep John: This has had the result of upskilling them in terms of stag hunting and archery. As well as leaf-bottom-wiping. #twitpanto 16:05:31 TomAttwood Sheriff: No, I’ve heard that Robin of Loxeley is back too, he’s not been on the Notts Archers page http://bit.ly/5VDGWQ for ages. #twitpanto 16:06:22 ewan Guy of Glasgow: Hose-wearing playboy, if I read another puff piece for his crowdsourced hood threadless rip-off on Techcrunch… #twitpanto 16:06:46 ewan Guy of Glasgow: I’ll shove his bow so far down his throat he’ll have to pull his string to pull his string ifyou know what I mean #twitpanto 16:07:27 cybrum Edward: We need to disarm them — we could send warning scrolls out to anyone caught poaching. #twitpanto 16:07:52 citizensheep John: And then remove the bows if the bow is used to kill three stags. No matter who uses them. #twitpanto 16:08:15 ewan Guy of Glasgow: It’s unfair, it’s unethical. It's going to upset @Iaindale... I love it. #twitpanto 16:08:50 TomAttwood Sheriff: Let’s start the consultation exercise — I’ll blog it, let’s get the web team to set up a Wordpress site. #twitpanto 16:09:10 twitpanto Unbeknownst to the Sheriff, Lady Marian and her companion Trafigura, a homely wench, were monitoring their hashtag. #twitpanto 16:09:33 editorialgirl Marian: @bounder Trafigura, did you hear that — a #3stags rule... we must tell the open rights group. #twitpanto 16:09:47 bounder Trafigura: @editorialgirl Never mind that, Robin’s back in town, I do love a man with a bit of strong arm and a thing for silk #twitpanto 16:10:04 editorialgirl Marian: Oh, Robin? I’ve unfollowed him. Not one tweet from the crusades — he obviously doesn’t care. #twitpanto 16:10:30 bounder Trafigura: I wouldn’t be so hasty, there’s not a lot of men round here with much drive. His shaft sends me all a quiver. #twitpanto 16:10:52 editorialgirl Marian: Trafigura - you’re to go to the forest in disguise and tell them what we know. #twitpanto 16:11:34 twitpanto And so Trafigura, dressed as a nobleman, rode into Sherwood Forrest. Presumably she thought she was going to Center Parcs. #twitpanto 16:12:07
jonhickman Little John: Halt — there’s a toll to play to pass safely through our forest. #twitpanto 16:14:11 jonhickman Little John: it's a green tax to pay for those water butts I've ordered #twitpanto 16:15:06 jonhickman Little John: @benjiw Much, where do you get all this “wealth redistribution”, “workers' control of production” stuff? #twitpanto 16:15:14 benjiw Much: It’s just good socialism, I’m campaigning for that geezer Stuart in the next election. #twitpanto 16:15:34 bounder @bounder Trafigura: Yesss, enough about that — I have a message from Lady Marian for Robin #twitpanto 16:16:54 benjiw Much: @jonhickman Er, John, you do realise that Tuck’s added the location to Foursquare. #twitpanto 16:17:42 twitpanto So Trafigura, dressed as a man remember, is lead to the ‘secret camp’ where Robin is giving an archery lesson. #twitpanto 16:18:20 exsanguinator Friar Tuck: [adlib] what was wrong with adding the camp to foursquare, how can I become mayor if its not on there? #twitpanto 16:19:54 probablydrunk Robin: its a bloody secret, friar tuck. ahem And whats the middle bit called? #twitpanto 16:21:39 probablydrunk Robin: And the little groove on the arrow where it sits against the string is the Nockin, named after the village in Shropshire. #twitpanto 16:24:39 probablydrunk Robin: @bounder Trafigura! You worked there for a while didn’t you? #twitpanto 16:25:37 bounder Trafigura: No time for happy memories. The Sheriff is planning a #3stags rule — we must do something about it. #twitpanto 16:25:52 probablydrunk Robin: It’ll be that Guy of Glasgow, if we could get into the castle… but it’s heavily guarded. We’d never get in… #twitpanto 16:26:17 twitpanto The day of the competition, Nottingham Castle is festive with standards and roasting meat. Robin is there, heavily disguised. #twitpanto 16:27:53 editorialgirl Marian: And so the competition continues. Guy of Glasgow is winning. Next up...? Yes, you, what's your name? #twitpanto 16:28:30 editorialgirl Marian: Alrighty, Sir Tom of Erm MySpace, can you best Glasgow’s bull? #twitpanto 16:29:26
tom_watson Sheriff: Daarlings no-one else in Nottingham knows the words for archery things, is that Loxley? #twitpanto 16:30:07 twitpanto Robin, archery geek, show off, poor at fancy dress somehow manages to split Glasgow’s arrow in the bull — a victory. #twitpanto 16:30:32
editorialgirl Marian: Sir Tom of Erm MySpace, I present you with the golden arrow. And Bully's special prize... #twitpanto 16:31:22 tom_watson Sheriff: That’s no Tom from MySpace, that’s Robin of Loxley in a moustache and a bad wig. #twitpanto 16:32:04 ewan Guy of Glasgow: John, Edward (err John Edwards? I'd rather have Sarah Palin as my #2). Anyway... Loxley! Get him!!! #twitpanto 16:33:08
twitpanto Robin and his men sneaked into the Castle, where the twitterarti of pantoland were gathered for the free mead. #twitpanto 16:36:04 jonhickman Little John: Keep your heads down, don’t let anyone know you’re here.

I was about to start reciting 'Ode to a small green piece of putty I found in my ear one day' #twitpanto 17:03:24 benjiw @jonhickman *blushes* It's all that outdoorsy roughing it that's changing you, isn't it? #twitpanto 17:03:28 dracos If you have any information on real pantos, or other theatre productions, do add them to http://theatricalia.com/ :) #twitpanto 17:03:29 benjiw RT @dracos: If you have any information on real pantos, or other theatre productions, do add them to http://theatricalia.com/ :) #twitpanto 17:03:41 bounder RT @hanuman: #twitpanto dshing for car park.

It was hard work staying quiet whilst the #twitpanto was on. Was good discipline though. 17:07:57 benjiw @nicktheowl Watching from the stage as you were manhandled up the aisle nearly made me break a rib silently laughing. #twitpanto 17:10:10 mazzawoo @siwhitehouse should get a part in next year's #twitpanto http://tinyurl.com/yahsnkf 17:10:27 benjiw RT @mazzawoo: @siwhitehouse should get a part in next year's #twitpanto http://tinyurl.com/yahsnkf 17:11:01 bounder Well #twitpanto didn't break twitter, but it seems to have borked Fazely Studios "bathed in wifi" heh ;) 17:12:03 chrisivens @bounder The challenge next year then is to get as many people in the audience to get spammed by bots. #twitpanto 17:16:02
