crunching

Liverpool Life "And the "World Famous Shaolin Wu-Shu Warriors" were skilled at what they did, but there was a bit too much of them waving bendy swords around and shouting. I think the problem is that films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and the Matrix have fused martial arts and special effects in a way that makes anything else look tame by comparison." -- Adrian Butler of the Liverpool Echo reviews the Chinese State Circus which I can see from my window and is featured in a photo not that far down the page.

It's going to be a busy day on the parade field tomorrow as the circus is joined by the annual Liverpool half marathon. In fact looking out now there are more tents and caravans than some camp sites in North Wales. But you know what the real excitement will be? Watching people park. I'm sure the stewards stand around taking bets on whether some of these drivers can fit into the gaps between cars without crunching.
