YIP, I'll sort that out while waiting for the T-shirts to get printed!!

Craig is a nice chap and trying hard, but in order for HIM to get to Blackpool, a more deserving couple will have to get the heave.

This is not fair, IMO, no matter how likeable Craig and Flavia are and how hard they are trying.

A campaign to 'Get Craig to Blackpool' works against the other competitors, even if it is only meant in fun.

I actually thought Craig's brother, dancing beside him at training whilst holding his toddler son, moved much better!

Wow you got T-Shirts on order to be printed.

If we could get the holidaymakers wearing them this week we could be home and dry

Other couples are only more deserving if the public deside they deserve it?

Hows the campaign been going this week in Blackpool.

Has Craig been on the news much this week?.

Do we think the town is going to help him have one final push to get to Blackpool?

Below is a cutting from a local Blackpool newspaper about todays Craig parade in Blackpool.If you are in the area please feel free to go along.


"The Craig Birthday Parade will start at 12 midday today and will proceed all the way down the sea front.

The Parade will see the community groups, sports cubs, schools and street theatre take to the streets of central Blackpool for a fun filled family spectacle in honour of our local hero Craig

At around 2pm there will be a video of Craig's life so far and the local school children have baked him a special giant cake with 39 candles on it.

Craig himself cant be here in person today but he has recorded a thank you message to all the citizens of Blackpool which will be shown in the big screens in Stanley Park at the end of the days festivities at about 3pm.

Then there will be a special train laid on at Blackpool station to take the Craig fans down to London for tonights show"

Awww, I'm sure he will be so touched by all this. You do make me laugh sometimes Bhoy...(only sometimes though )

I'll throw in another few votes for him so his fans wont be disappointed.

You should try The Thread for Lazy Journalists.
Most spoof articles end up there...

If you are in the area please come along.

I forgot to mention there will be a special Craig dancing event going on at about 1pm where Craig's former dance teacher from his days at the dance academy will be along to tell all the people what made Craig such a great pupil and she will attempt to show you all some of the moves that only Craig himself has managed to perfect so far

So- a three second appearance then?

Sorry Bhoy, but I'm in your area of the country and nowhere near Blackpool so unfortunately I will have to miss out on all the Craig fun and make do with seeing him on telly tonight.

Well thats he parade over.It was a great day out with plenty of fun for all that were there.Weather was pretty good too.

The highlight of the event was no doubt seeing Craig on the big screen and he went out of his way to mention how much he appreciates all the support he has had on the DS forum this week

He also mentioned if possible he would like to stay in SCD beyond next week until the 5th December now.

When asked he why he commented its because my biggest fan Bhoy1888 is coming to London that week and it would be so good to be able to give him a couple of free tickets for the show

So there you go.A new campaign has begun

Lets get Bhoy1888 free tickets for SCD.Keep Craig in till the 5th

wtf?

is all this serious?

I am reading this thread and am bemused...........a parade for craig kelly? are people taking the pi**?

No Craig is probably at the moment the biggest star in Blackpool and the town this week thought they would organise a parade to celebrate his birthday

It was a great success and may become an annual event.

If you are in the area next year I would recommend you come along

Bhoy, did you remember to bring a brass band?

Remind me to hire you when I run for parliament.

Well I have heard that theres talk that the Craig fans will be marching down the White City tonight on there way to the studios so they may have a brass band with them

IMO The OP is a Wum and people keep falling in his trap . Iam betting he is laughing up his sleeve at everyone

Much to my surprise I find you're making me smile instead of annoying me today, Bhoy!

See I told you I would grow on you.

You want me to add you to my buddy's list now

LOL, that's taking things a step too far......could be business as usual tomorrow

We can have a truce just for a few hours then

The lights are on.The ballroom is ready.let the week celebration begin

Our favourite son is coming home

Craig.We salute you

Please not to exaggerate.

That would be 3 seconds more than Zoe will be doing at Blackpool

An Audience with Craig Kelly and Friends Show


OK just a little midweek update on the plans for the great mans home coming this week.

The Town has erected some nice banners for Craig and there will be a special show on Friday night at the Winter Garden to celebrate his achievement after Craig has done a tour of the town in an open topped bus.
I hear the route will be announced in the Sun newspaper tomorrow in a special 8 page pull out which will tell the story of the great mans time in SCD so far

So if you are coming to Blackpool for the whole weekend to support Craig then come along to the "An Audience with Craig Kelly and Friends Show"where the show will include some all time greats like the Krankies,The Nolan's and Little & Large.
Theres even some rumours going around that the great Stu Francis from Crackerjack will be there

Its sure to be a great night and of course the highlight of the night will be an appearance by Craig on stage where he will take questions and also invite some members of the audience up to dance with the great man himself

After the show has finished there will be Fireworks Display at the Central Pier and served there will be some delicious hot dogs and some nice beer to keep the party atmosphere flowing well into the small hours
Hopefully the night will finish with a sing along of some of Craig's favourite songs

So why don't you come along
