P T Barnum - A History of the Circus

Roll up, roll up and scream if you want to go faster! 

This week Gyles and Susie take a spin on the carousel (or should that be merry-go-round) as they waltz their way through the general hoopla of fairgrounds and carnivals. They marvel at the ironic profession of the inventor of candy floss, they toss away the notion that coconuts are shy, and Gyles reminisces about his father’s attempts to knock an old woman out of her bed. Strap in, it’s going to be a rollercoaster of a ride. 

As always there are lots of your fabulous emails to answer so if you have a question for Gyles and Susie then fire it over to purple@somethinelse.com and Bob’s your uncle. 

A Somethin’ Else production 

Susie’s trio:
Merry-go-sorry - a mixture of joy and sadness
Edacious - fond of eating
Sesquipedalian - a word with too many syllables; or using too many long words
