My son just sent me this clip of Cirque du Soleil. Be amazed!

Wow - how brave are they!

[RATTER15]

I could do that :-)

[horseshoes]

LOL Ratter.

I'd love to have heard their first conversation about setting this up. "I was thinking... we'll get these two enormous hamster cages..... put one on top of the other....."

[Mamyalynne]

It is the sheer trust I find amazing between the two.

[horseshoes]

The music suits the act too, don't you agree.

I got bored after 2 minutes, what time did the clowns come on?



Only kidding, made me go dizzy watching that

[ELVIS68]

Mum, go to bed!

[horseshoes]

LOL LOL Elvis

[ELVIS68]

horeshoes, is that Freddie Flintoff in your pic?..taken at Aintree at a guess?

[ELVIS68]

oops horseshoes

[Mamyalynne]

oops !! You is good

[horseshoes]

It certainly is Elvis - well spotted. My friend's horse ran in the 2010 Grand National along with Flintoff (the horse that is - not Freddie), so this photo is taken just before the race. My friend's horse, Irish Raptor won the Topham Chase the year before.

horseshoes you jammy bugger, racing is my passion, Cheltenham is my Xmas and Birthdays all rolled into one x

Zooa behave!

Elvis. We always go to the October meeting in Cheltenham, although I think I may have to miss it this year for the first time in about 12 years. We have a box in the old Queen Mother stand. It's fantastic - we have our own bar, lunch and afternoon tea. Irish Raptor is recently retired but the new horse is called Educated Evans - he's had a win at 66/1 but hasn't done anything since. He's very young though so we'll see if Twiston Davies knocks him into shape.

[ELVIS68]

I`ll keep an eye out for him, NTD is one of my favourite trainers, I`ve won a few quid following him

[horseshoes]

... yes, and watch out for young Sam - he's turning out to be a cracking jockey. She has a couple of foals as well who haven't even got their racing names yet as they're too young (one's just called Colin at the minute) so in a couple of years they'll be racing too. I'm off to my nest now 'night 'night.
