    This is a circus, minus the clowns

    However if the acrobats fall and break their backs , Lion tamer gets his head bitten off , the fire swallower ends up with third degree burns to their face and the trapeze artists falls to their deaths then it isn't so great a circus is it ? .

    Any optimism gained when the clowns were sacked seems to be disappearing faster than a Ring Master with a sore throat .
    The stentch of incompetence still resides within the Big Top on Grove Street .

    The circus may have a new illusionist in Mr Parekh whose only real trick is to disappear back to India for six weeks at a time although his partner Mr Khaled clearly confused Mr JFH when he disappeared himself from responding to an agreed Zoom call interview .

    Mr James Cryne seems to have copied the same illusion instead of visibly supporting Mrs Jean Cryne at her side at the circus ticket promotion event otherwise known as a Press Conference the other week .

    The two invisible investors represented by Man Utd fan Mrs Julie Ann Quay based in New York complete the three card trick .

    At least the knife throwers amongst us will have many targets to choose from going forward it seems .

    "Do you like circuses Animal?"

    A bit strong that criticism Animal but it’s all a little frustrating I must admit.

    As I said, the Emporer has no clothes. MR Parekh hasn’t delivered, but the illusion has delivered 3k season ticket sales.
    Happily, none from our household.

    Gullible fools have swelled the coffers and the MAGICIAN making it happen has disappeared.

    I did say it was an illusion.

    Bread and Circuses.

    Things officials in Roman times gave (eg bread) or presented (eg circus entertainment) in an attempt to please and distract disgruntled people.

    The Roman poet Juvenal wrote--
    "I really think this event is just bread and circuses to get us to stop protesting".

    I hope the recent Press Conferences are not bread and circuses.

    I'm still in the Spectemur Agendo camp but nowt's happened yet and time goes on. "Bread and Circuses" could well become my latest hash tag.

    Av laiked darn theear a lot n'all. We either went in darn that lane opposite bottom of golf course or walked darn ovva railway from Fall Wood Pit pond where a went fishing many a time. The nivva seemed to be any camps tekkin place, except fo wun time when we wo chased away by a Scoutmaster sharting "Wi dunt want your sooart darn here". We were only a bunch of mucky Doduth urchins leaning on the entrance gate watching 'em trying to leet a wood fire and jeering/ laughing when it kept gooin art.
