happy mowing rusty

They were superb, weren't they, jazzgirl? I had never spent so much on tickets before (I think $72 dollars each in 1993! But maybe that was for 4), worth every cent.

Ros, I can't remember what we paid, ( it was 1981 ) but I have all the show programmes gathering dust upstairs.
It was very sad when Roy had the mauling accident which left him partly paralysed, but he and Siegfried are still sending out messages to their fans from the Secret Garden on facebook.

I saw David Copperfield in Las Vegas. Another very good illusionist.

Albie, It looks like we've visited the same places again.
I've only seen David Copperfield on TV.

Another coincidence.....it was my first time there in 1991.

I have just watched BGT.
My voting choice is,
1, Cor Glaenethwy
2, UDI
3, The Neales
4 Old Men Groovin'
I liked the Irish step dancers too, though I cannot stand Flatley!
I think the sets and scenery were great, and so were the backing singers and dancers.
Roll on BGT 2016!

I'm with you on voting for Cor Glaenethwy first, but liked Isaac Waddington second, followed by Old Men Groovin' and then the conjuror, Jamie whatever he was called. I also liked UDI.
But what did you think about Jamie's trick with the lemon? It was obvious along what lines it must have been done, but I couldn't see anything on the TV screen as it was so slick - although Jazzgirl's' clip showed it up clearly.
Do you think that Jules and Matisse should be disqualified as the 'stunt' dog was kept a secret ? I think it would have been ok if the audience / viewers had known
You were right, though, I enjoyed it all far more than I thought I would!

I think Jamie Raven was very good indeed, but with close up cameras nowadays it is pretty impossible to fool everyone.
It was well presented though.
Well the act was called "Jules and Matisse", not "Jules and Matisse and Another Two Dogs", so yes, a wee bitty iffy!
I am glad you liked the show (for the most part) Elle.
Next year maybe we shall get a juggling rattlesnake?

Who knows, Rusty! I shall watch the next show from the beginning - but I still wish they weeded out the 'dud' acts and started from the point where everyone is of a certain standard (I know you won't agree with that though!)
I've just started reading "The Thin Yellow Line. It says in the Introduction that the details of all the trials have never been revealed and that the files are in the custody of the MOD and cannot be released for 100 years. Incredible!
I 've only read a little way into the book as yet, but think I am going to find it somewhat distressing.
What are you reading at the moment?
