bunny on the boards

i've always been a bit stage-struck, but there aren't many roles for rabbits... there's the lead in harvey, of course, but since he's invisible that's not really a part that's going to get you noticed...

i did a short summer season in brighton with mr punch and mrs judy - a very famous husband and wife theatrical team, but frankly it was a nightmare: mr punch braining everyone with his stick, a control freak of a copper who kept clobbering everyone in sight with his truncheon...


there was also a ghastly baby who kept yelling and screaming (which wasn't too surprising since mr punch kept tossing him off the stage), sausages for dinner every single day and a very scary crocodile - heaven knows what was a cocodile was doing in brighton - who kept sneaking up behind members of the cast and putting his great toothy jaws round their heads... It was very unnerving - especially as he'd obviously never heard of mouthwash...

rabbit hunting

on one of our visits to disneyland, i gave brian the slip and hung around outside this door, hoping to be discovered by one of mr disney's people...

ok, you may laugh and so i didn't exactly become the new movie sensation, but let's not forget that disney's first mega star (long before mickey mouse came on the scene) was a character called oswald the lucky rabbit...

admittedly ozzie's completely forgotten and pretty much washed up today (living in a run-down retirement home in florida), and obviously not quite as lucky as his name suggests...

but just think of all those other disney rabbits...

i mean, there was brer rabbit and roger rabbit and thumper and... er... well, mrs thumper --- and all the little thumper kids...

...and the white rabbit who gave such an amazing performance in that really scary film alice in wonderland, where he kept being chased everywhere by this huge blonde-haired girl in a blue dress...

as the sign on the casting agency door says, it takes people to make the dream a reality, but in the case of alice in wonderland it took a rabbit to make the dream a nightmare...

i popped round mr w rabbit's house to say how much i liked his performance, but he was out --- still being chased by whatshername, i suppose...


...anyway, eventually i found a statue that they'd put up to him to him in the park - which really shows how amazingly important rabbits are to disney - and so I had my picture taken alongside...

...and in case you were wondering, he's the one with the ridiculously large watch and i'm the one with the mauve paws!

beach bunny

in case you wondered, i'm not going to blog every blogging day like brian, because for one thing typing make's my paws hurt and for another i've got better things to do - as what rabbit hasn't ?!

anyway, time for the next stop on my world tour and here i am on legendary bondi beach in sydney, australia...

the flag means that it's not safe to surf which is of course why i didn't venture in and hang ten in the pope's living room...

i can also reveal that the total absence of any bronzed and oiled aussies flexing their muscles and rushing into the sea to ride the next big one is due entirely to the fact that this was actually the middle of winter and beautiful bondi had just enjoyed a nice bracing hail storm!


quite why i hang around with the only person in the world who would even THINK of taking me on a day trip to bondi when the weather is only suited to building snowmen, I really don't know!

a rabbit in the ruins

first stop on my globe-hopping tour: athens and one or two recent pictures of me at the acropolis...

this is me in front of the font side of the parthenon and shows how just big it is or how small i am or both!


in case you wondered, this is what the backside of a parthenon looks like...


i have to say, you'd have thought they'd have got it finished by now, wouldn't you?

mind you it's not really surprising when you think that the greeks idea of a salad has cheese and no carrot!
