Dial M for Murgatroyd. Opens at Peterborough’s Key Theatre on Tues-

day 29th January and runs until February 2nd.

Directed by Eastern Angles’ Christmas writing team; Julian

Harries and Pat Whymark. Dial M for Murgatroyd is a Country

House Murder Mystery spoof with music, physical comedy and

lots of local East Anglian inspired gags. It has been described

to be the alternative to the traditional Christmas panto.

Taking an irreverent look at the world of British Butlers, Toffee-

nosed landed gentry and Agatha Christie-style lady

detectives. Last year’s “Round The Twist” was claimed by

Peterborough Evening Telegraph that “The audience felt part

of the action from the start.

Characters include the pompous Major Fitzall, his batty

bohemian wife, their spineless son, domineering daughter and

of course, Miss Murgatroyd the lady detective with a shrewd

eye, a perceptive mouth, an astute nose and an enormous

stash of depilatory cream!

Things take a turn for the weird when a monkey-shaped beast is spotted in the woods. When

the trusty butler is mysteriously bumped off, the only option left for the impossibly posh Fitzall

family is to Dial M for Murgatroyd!

The Whinge

I’ve Got 99 Problems...

In my seemingly never-ending quest

to achieve the perfect body – an Adonis

carved from marble by the gods them-

selves; or at least to vainly attempt to firm

up some of the more flappy flabby bits,

I’ve taken up spinning.

To those of you who are uninitiated in

the dark art of peddling like a possessed

demon attempting to escape the

murderous intentions of van Hallen

(monster exterminator to the stars),

spinning involves sitting, standing and

jumping on an exercise bike. The spinning

element is the flywheel on the bike to

which you add resistance to simulate hills

and release resistance to simulate

breathing & not falling off in a gibbering

heap crying like a baby.

On my first visit I was spinning away

merrily, thinking “oh this is hard work, but

it can’t be long until we get a rest”.

Hmmm.

After about 7 or 8 minutes of extremely

urgent and exhausting peddling the

instructor calmly announced, that was

the warm-up over and we should now

be ready to start. Warm-up! Warm-up!

*&^%ing right that was over. I couldn’t

possibly be expected to do another 40

minutes even harder than that because,

for a start, I haven’t been given the

opportunity to get my affairs in order.

That first week I managed to get

through, just, and with a few slow

sections where I could try and get some

oxygen back into my body through

every available orifice – which is a

strange feeling indeed. Since then I

have improved and I’m now able to

complete the whole session without my

life flashing before my eyes.

One of the phenomena that I have

become aware of during these sessions is

the choice of musical accompaniment.

It seems to be a bizarre mix of old school

pop and modern rap. In my forays into

clubs, seldom have I witnessed a DJ

moving from Prefab Sprout to Jay Z over

to Tiffany, ABC and then to Transvision

Vamp & Plan B. For the younger readers

you’ll have to ask your parents about the

anthemic but very limited hits of Tranvision

Vamp. The idea of the soundtrack is to

match the pace of the specific exercise,

so faster beats for sprints, slower 80s tunes

for hills.

Sometimes these tunes fit very well

and seem to be perfectly timed to give

the spinners a boost. When the theme

from Rocky comes on you can’t help but

feel invigorated as you picture Sly

pounding the streets in the famous

montage culminating in climbing the

stone steps in triumph. And when She’s A

Maniac by Hall and Oates starts up you

know the sprints are going to be assisted

by the super-charged rhythm.

But when Jay Z starts with “I’ve got 99

problems, but a b* ain’t one” it’s

impossible to think to yourself that right

now as I’m instructed to “turn up the

resistance at least one turn” that it’s all

well and good for xx, but for me, I seem

to have 100 problems and the most

annoying thing is that whilst the whole

class are clinging to their bikes to try and

stay upright, sweating like the proverbial

porcine and huffing and puffing like an

asthmatic stuck in the middle of a corn

field whilst combine harvesters trundle

past throwing dust clouds directly down

the throat of said asthmatic, the

instructor at the front is peddling at twice

the speed of light and is still able to talk

to us all – and worse than that, she smiles

like she’s actually enjoying it.

What an absolute problem number 100!

In The Night Sky #21

T he fireworks continue this month with

the Germinids peeking on the 13th and

14th of the month, hopefully, we’ll

have nice clear skies like those we enjoyed

in November. Further, there won’t be any

moonlight to outshine the show as there’s

a new moon on the 13th.

Apart from meteor showers December

is also an excellent month to observe

Jupiter as it comes into opposition early on

in the month (on the 3rd).

Also Jupiter gets quite

high in the sky this month

so you’ll be able to ob-

serve it for most of the

night. It rises at just after

sunset and doesn’t set

until just before sunrise

at the start of the month,

getting earlier as the

month progresses, but

still offering lots of good

observing opportunities.

Perhaps the best thing

in December is your

opportunity to observe

the strangely mysterious

and elusive planet

Mercury. Because it’s so

close to the Sun it’s quite

rare to get an observing opportunity.

However, this December Mercury will be

at its greatest elongation west early in the

month and early in the morning. The best

time to see it will be on the mornings of the

1st and 2nd, although you will still be able

see it probably as late as the 12th. The im-

age below shows the sky at 0715 on the

morning of the 2nd looking southeast. But

please be careful because the Sun will rise

shortly after this and Mercury will be very

close – don’t look directly at the Sun with

your eyes and be especially careful if your

using a telescope or binoculars.

For December 2012 - By Astrologer Christine Chalklin

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 23 - DEC. 21 The powerful new moon in your sign on

the 13th

puts the focus on an entirely new

you! Pivotal Mars in Capricorn expects

long term goals to be reviewed, and as

you are brimming with renewed energy and

confidence this is a great time for being assertive

and direct about getting what you desire.

CAPRICORN DEC. 22 - JAN. 20 Assertive Mars occupies your sign until

the 26th

and gets you feeling on top of

your game. Your intuitive powers should

also be working well for you this month

and you should begin to trust your instincts about

relationships and partnerships. A boost of energy

comes along with the powerful full moon on the 28th

.
