Here comes the circus

64 Replies

I stepped onto the forum this morning to be greeted by a very excited KazF .. Hey she shouted someone has left a circus tent in the centre of the forum with a note, Please use this.......I was about to charge across the forum for a look, when she shouted Bring your snake as well... AT this point I KNEW I should have been worried but I just got my mobilty scooter out , loaded my snake into the basket and headed off across the forum.

She was right there was a lovely circus tent, but no performers no audience. KazF looked at me and said... Ok let's get this circus up and running we need acts, a ring master , someone to take tickets, an audience, food sellers...... So why the snake I asked, then I realised ohhh I was going to get a comfy chair a recorder or flute and I was going to be a snake charmer, how lovely and easy I thought as I am scared of heights and was immediately planning my outfit when....... That's your job said KazF and pointed up to the top of the tent, at the trapezes. there is a safety net should you need it, so it seems the first job has gone ... To me and Leroy my snake, I can't see it ending well.

So please everyone grab your costumes and come join the circus, and if you are feeling not the best today bring your comfy chair and be the audience, every one is welcome ... And maybe we should have medics on standby........

Piff Paff Poff !! Out of the hat comes a fish!! I think I have come up trumps !!

in reply to Mdaisy

That is truly amazing, welcome to the circus.... :)

in reply to Mdaisy

Ok - magic mdaisy. Welcome to the madhouse - er I mean circus! Just one little point.... can you try for the more traditional rabbit next time - there are already quite enough fish around - why do you think I sent VG up the ladder! Although, even with fins of steel I think she might strugggle with the trapeze! Mwhahaha :-D

in reply to

Oh my fins have gone all sweaty .. Don't look down don't look down

It's not working :(

You hold on tight up there, VG

I'm busy selling the tickets, and popcorn and ice cream, but in a minute, I have to clean up after the elephants, so I'll build a tower of elephant doodies for you and Leroy to slide down.

Don't fuss - you can use the shower in my trailer!

If you don't like the trapeze, you could try being the Human Cannonball - the clowns are just erecting the firing tube at this very moment.

They've lost the safety net - but there's a bucket of water for you to land in.

I can put a spot of gin in there if you'd like ....?

in reply to ladymoth

I'm so glad to hear you want to help look after the animals as well as your other jobs!

But I can't possible let you clean out the elephants - I've put Fairycazzie on elephant duty - well she did volunteer (sort of)

I have another job for you! The lions need some TLC! I don't think you'll have much luck making a rescue tower of their little 'messages'

Oh what an evil ringmaster I have turned into! Mwhahaha! :-D

That's not a bucket that's a thimble ... Well it looks like it from up here , I am a rather well built fish you know, and Leroy doesn't know how to swim can you throw up an xs rubber ring for him please :-/

Ps why does everyone want to get my snake drunk... You are offering him gin Charlii threw wine all over the place for him....it's not fair he gets all the drink ..... Sulks while teetering on a trapeeze .... Not easy :(

Sending you a treble Bailey's over ice cream in special spill-proof mug. That'll put a bit of spring in your swing. Courage mon brave!

Luv Moffy x

Woooahhhhh I poured the baileys over my trapeeze and its certainly got a kick in its swing ...oh my ... Flies across the tent ceiling on an out of control trapeeze

in reply to

flying fish! :-p

Moffy - I think you may be off the hook for the lions - I've heard a rumour there's a new lion tamer on her way over.

I think you may end up in charge of the bar! I have just found out that my daughter (who's in Vietnam at the moment) had baileys coffee for breakfast, and now you're giving Leroy gin, and VG Bailey's ice cream - and I'm feeling left out!

ladymoth in reply to

Oh yeah - love to be in charge of bar - I have a friend who will do us a deal on oodles of booze! Reading up on Harvey Wallbanger's, Cosmopolitans, Margheritas and Sex on the Beach ...es (?!!)

in reply to ladymoth

Somehow I just knew you would be the right person for this job!! :-/

How about snake in the grass.... :-p

in reply to

p.s. in honour of Leroy and all his freinds who seem to keep popping up all over the forum (and in your snake sanctuary)

The Ringmaster has to stay focused and in charge .... No drink for you

I would smirk but I am too terrified :o

in reply to

focused? Woth fibro fog? I don't think one little baileys would make too much difference. Go on, just one. One little one? Plee-eea-ase?

in reply to

Hey moffy throw the baileys up here .... At last some small comfort for being made to sit up here like a budgie ..but with scales.....

in reply to

Hmmm - budgie's - gives me an idea. As Sandra has given up trying to train her budgies to be an act, maybe I can send them up to recapture the baileys. Here, tweety-pies. Come along, nice budgies. Got a lovely little job for you ... :-)

Oooh a lion tamer I await her arrival with pleasure....I don't fancy falling off this into a lions mouth

I was trying to trainhe budgies to do tricks but they're more interestedin eating a new piece of millett.

in reply to hamble99b

Ooh Sandra - nice costume! I think you may have to do a double act with FairyCazzie on the horses. After she's finished mucking out the elephants. :-D

Oh, and can you muck out the horse's stables please. Shame about your pretty glittery costume :-p

in reply to hamble99b

Just tell the budgies to fly up to me and Leroy Sandra,,,,, he will train them... To jump down his throat....

hamble99b in reply to hamble99b

the budgies can balance on one foot, but it's one of mine!

I'm ignoring the fish and cancelled RC - he was dressing up as the strong man in leotard & tights and going up to rescue her.

What plot .... Did we have one .. If we do we never stick to it....Peers down from her trapeeze who has the plot????

in reply to

Isn't the plot the thing the elephants leave behind? Someone's suppposed to be clearing that up!

We can't be doing with any plots around here!

(other than my evil one to leave VG hanging around up in the ceiling all day - Mwhahaha :-D )

Oh great he came up threw a bed sheet at me and left... I thought he was covering me up like an old piece of furniture.... He might have said... Leroy seems to have found his own way down and is wandering freely round the circus :D

hamble99b profile image
hamble99b in reply to

right tie a big knot around the trapeze and wrap sheet around you, tie it around your leg with a big knot, smile, wave and,,, drop!

WOW!

you've done that before.

another drink, hic! moffy please.

shandrah

Please don't tell everyone about my past employment but I did have a pole in my fish tank when I was a younger slimmer fish, actually I rather enjoyed that .... Umm Sandra that's not a feather boa round your neck it's my snake and he likes a drink so please take his head out of your glass

phew just in time, I thought it was too long and was about to chop the end off! -good job I didn't think it was a fancy straw.

What what splutters gently removes snake and wanders off mumbling consoling words to him

Cirque du fibro is shaping up very well. Well done to all our performers and audience. Especially to Moffy for her heroic dash through a blizzard to stock the bar! Make mine a double!

The mysterious appearance of an unused big top in the forum hasn't yet been explained. Who brought it here? Why did they bring it? Will they want it back? ..... What news will tomorrow morning bring? I'm a bit worried that it's the latest plan by atos to prove that we're all fit for work. Are there any clues?

Umm well as a fairground turned up last week and the Lone Ranger and tonto galloped through as well nothing that happens on here would surprise me any longer unless of course the unthinkable happened and we all suddenly went sane...... Ewwwwwww :(

in reply to

No risk of that anytime soon. :-D

Actually one thing does worry me .... Where did Russell Crowe go with Sandras bed sheet and why has Sandra suddenly rushed home :o

hamble99b in reply to

budgies' bed time,

haven't seen russell, but I heard him saying

"friends, romans, countrymen" - oh no he thinks he's julius caesar he'll be wearing my new best bedsheets! one up from being a gladiator.
