Diana Bellamy: Mrs. Cha-Cha Rimba Starkey

Quotes 

• Yolanda 'Yolli' Pratchett : You worked in a circus?

  Mrs. Cha-Cha Rimba Starkey : You are looking at Rimba, the Human Canon Ball. This was my third husband or maybe my fourth. Anyway, Enzo was a lion tamer. He'd wrestle the beast with his bare hands, and then he'd come back to the tent and we'd wrestle for dinner. Ah, those were the days. I'd win best two out of three falls. Anyway, he was the guy who talked me into stuffing my body in a gigantic Howitzer and being blown clear across the big top.

  Yolanda 'Yolli' Pratchett : Really? Didn't it hurt?

  Mrs. Cha-Cha Rimba Starkey : Only the people I landed on. We'd lose more clowns that way.

• Mrs. Cha-Cha Rimba Starkey : Anyway, all good things must come to a close. After one death-defying flight over the spellbound audience's heads, I touched down on the ringmaster and part owner of the circus. I was fired the day after they removed my shoe from his mouth. Easy come, easy go.
