What a bunch of Clowns!!!
I have seen circuses before... on television, and usually do not give a lot of attention to the whole affair, what a bunch of clowns! You see people performing on the TV all the time, so there is nothing special about that. So why would I go watch a live performance? Good question? What compels people to watch a live performance? I guess you would have to be there to experience it.
So I saw the
Personally I felt a bit skeptical about paying R 220 for the tickets, it was a bit pricey for my liking, but what they heck, I had to go just for the experience. To say, been there, done that, got the T-Shirt... nope luckily I didn't buy one.
So was it worth the money? Yip, I would say so. There is something about watching a live performance that makes it different to every day TV. These days we get so spoilt by all the special effects in the movies. Different it was, and enjoyable too.
The guy walking on a string between two poles was damn impressive, even cycling on a unicycle, with the whole string swinging from side to side. The motorcycle gang, stunts were also something to see. Then there was to disappearing act with the tigers... well... not sure if it was part of the performance but I remember feeling hypnotised, the girl... I never knew Russia exported those... beautiful would be an understatement. The dog soccer act was funny... and then there were the clowns... humor a bit dry, but funny non the less.
Talking about a bunch of clowns. I also took 2 days off work this week and decided to do some small things that has been bothering me, decided to replace the plastic cover that was missing from my car. I was expecting to pay R10 maybe even R20. It is really just a piece of plastic with a clip to clip out where you jack up the car. Delta motors charges me R93. What a ripoff! Well my next car will not be an Opel again sorry to say but the model I drive was the last beautiful car and they kinda lost their way. That and they seem to try to compete with BMW and Audi price wise. If I am going to be paying that kind of money I might as well get myself something like an Audi, the 1.8Turbo seems like a good option. Note to myself, I will go out of my way to not support Centurion Delta, they are a bunch of sharks out to make as much money as possible. Someone need to teach those clowns something about customer service, and that does not include lessons on milking the public dry!
